How early do mommies gave birth for their 1st child ? What are the symptoms of labour ?

braxton hicks is not an indication for active labour .. i have braxton hicks since 33 weeks and still have it now at 39 weeks pregnant .. you will know when your tummy is hardened, it is not painfyl but it can be very comfortable .. i will change my positions when that happens, it does help .. this usually last 1min or less .. my gynae adviced me to go to the hospital if only my waterbag broke, if i have frequent painful contractions, no baby movement or a bloody show .. if not, i can just go to the hospital on my EDD itself, i have just 7 days to go ..
