They will send you home if you go in.. and wont induce you till 39weeks or later, ( I've tried lol ) also if you do go into labor don't stress about not having the medicine for strep jus let the hospital know and they will put some through your iv.

your hips are hurting and your cramping because your pelvic area is spreading/widening to prepare for birth..
Take some Tylenol lay on your side and drink 2 glasses of water(cold ice water) in an hour, if that doesn't work apply a heating pad to your back , or yoy can apply it to your hips or belly, leave on for 20 mins then take off and rest for 20 mins then repeat by putting the heating pad back on for 20 mins. Make sure it's no longer then 20 mins especially if you apply it to your belly ( hospital recommended it to me ) or take a warm bath not shower..

that's what I was told todo , for me it didn't work at all. My doctor stretched my cervix and stripped my membranes and now all my pain and contractions are gone

I would love my baby to finaly come :) n if shes tryin n im not progressing maybe they would induce me :)

They most likely won't induce you but you should try taking a hot bath and drinking a lot of water and if the pain doesn't stop...you could go get checked. If pain doesn't go away, that's when you should be concerned.
