second baby

I'm currently 31+4 with my second and felt baring down for last week and half. I feel this it much to early? Other parents are telling my it's uncommon for baby to bare down unless your in/going into labour??! My first didn't bare down until at least 36/37w. Anyone else having same experience?  Ty.

Most babies go head down around 30 wks to prepare for labor... i wouldn't worry too much but if it bothers you go to emerge and see a dr they will probably do a ultrasound. . Baby could also very well be breach

Sorry for not replying sooner keep forgetting I've written on here. Still getting same symptoms ect but felt so stupid when midwife said he is in breech! But he is measuring 2 weeks bigger so maybe that's where the pains coming from :( thanks kyou for your reply x

I'm 29w with my third and have been feeling it too. I kept telling myself I was just over thinking it because I think I'm "experienced" or that it's cause in older but I woke up in the middle of the night it got so intense so I went to er and sure enough I was having contractions and had to take medicine to stop labor. I still feel the pushing down and almost the argue to push but not near as bad. I would get checked just in case. It's too soon....
