Currently 36 weeks and worried

Question

Hi mummies, i’m currently 36 weeks and 6 days, I’m already feeling tightening and pelvic pain. I gave birth to my first one exactly at 39 weeks going 40. Found out on the internet that i’m only on full preterm and i should be more cautious, but should i have any worries if i were to give birth early of 37 weeks?  Will there be any possible risks that i need to be aware of if i were to be giving birth anytime soon? Feeling very anxious and worried 🥲

suggest you let your gynae know asap about your issue, she can check if you are experiencing contractions or if your cervix has opened up. I also experienced it previously at around 36 weeks, then she gave me pills to prolong the baby inside tummy before my planned csec at 38 weeks. it worked 😊 but I heard if the contractions is more serious, there's an injection for it instead of oral pills.
