contractions

[Kayth]

I'll be 38weeks this Monday. But I've been having contraction like tighting feeling on my upper belly and sharp pain that runs from my side all the way to my back. Baby has been moving like crazy this started in the morning at 11 am, And just ended at 6pm so I dont know if I should wait at home until the contraction worsens or they dont stop? Please let me know y'all comments. Thanks.

The thing is I dont want to go ti the hospital and have them say am not ready. And I really hate to be check if am dilated.

Premature Labor

Symptoms
To stop premature labor, you need to know the warning signs. Acting fast can make a big difference. Call your midwife or doctor right away if you have:

Backache, which usually will be in your lower back. This may be constant or come and go, but it won’t ease even if you change positions or do something else for comfort.
Contractions every 10 minutes or more often
Cramping in your lower abdomen or menstrual-like cramps. These can feel like gas pains that may come with diarrhea.
Fluid leaking from your vagina
Flu-like symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Call your doctor even about mild cases. If you can’t tolerate liquids for more than 8 hours, you must see your doctor.
Increased pressure in your pelvis or vagina
Increased vaginal discharge
Vaginal bleeding, including light bleeding
Some of these may hard to tell apart from normal symptoms of being pregnant, like backache. But you can't be too cautious. Get any possible warning signs checked out.
U 38 so u safe but the signs are thesame so...
