Hello, i am 35+5 weeks pregnant and my cervix is high but very soft and open. baby #3 an have been feeling pressure pains most of day, not like braxton hicks contractions though.

Need an exam: If you are 35weeks5days pregnant and having pressure pains you need an exam. False labor is fairly common in 3rd pregnancies but the only way to know for sure what is going on is to be examined. Call your OB or go to labor and delivery to be checked. Play it safe. You don't want to have a preterm baby at home alone. Best wishes to you and the baby.
