prelabor or bull ****?

So these past few days have SUCKED !! I've posted on here on what's happening but I'll do a recap. So Thursday morning I woke up with bad contractions had diarrhea seriously thought it was labor but the contractions stopped. Yesterday woke up with a sore abd had bad back pain and a tummy ache kinda nausea. I left the house to go shopping and I felt better again...until last night I had contractions and lower back pain waited for them to progress but of course nothing. Now this morning my abd is back to being sore and my back is killing me. Also again I am 36w3d with an IUGR baby. Am I in prelabor or is my body just hating on me??? Ftm so don't know what to be expecting!

A growth restriction problem. The only reason why he has it is bc I was underweight before getting prego and I only gained 11lbs . he's in the 9th percentile so its nothing severe! But there also known to come early but even if you have it you get induced at 37 weeks but there inducing me right at 38 weeks

All I do is lay around the house if I'm not in the house I'm out in the pool floating around. When I lay down the pain seems to get worse cause then I'm focusing on it more! If its just the sucky part of the last month thank god I get induced in 12 days!!

Sounds like your body might just be hating on you lol but you are close. I would suggest taking it easy. Lay down and don't get up unless you need to use the bathroom or shower, eat in bed if you can. Laying on your left side may help alleviate some of the pain. Your body might be telling you, that you're doing to much and stressing yourself out. Relax! I know it's easier said than done of course but you won't get any of that after the baby comes :) feel better!
