Hey ladies...I was having bad back pain and cramping in my back last night from 6 in the evening til maybe 11pm when I fell asleep I took Tylenol that eased the pain A little..so this morning when I awake I was fine thought it was over and now im having contractions in the front now...there not painful just really tight uncomfortable coming and going...do yall think I should head to l&d to be evaluated or its normal...no bleeding and im 24 wks and 6days

I have contractions and bh they dont bother me much so theyvare not always painful! With all my kids I've never felt the contractions but when they ere monitored it always showed just never felt them.
But yes you maybe dehydrated so drink tons of water, even if u dont think u are it'll still help out with the contractions

My Dr just called me and said he didnt think it was serious because im not bleeding but if the pain continues come to the hospital..just stay off my feet

Nope this is not my first and I have never had a preterm before I did have a miscarriage at 18wks prior to this pregnancy and I have 3 older kids, I thought it was just bh til that cramping and BAck pain last night, I did just call l&d  and they said call my Dr and see if he thinks I should be evaluated if he doesnt callback in 45min come in..so im waiting to see what he thinks

contractions are very painfull u said they were nt painful and u stl being that early its usually around the weeks braxtion hicks kick in as they r nt painful and irregular they come and go.. have u have a previous early labor or is ths ur 1st??usually w 1st it is hard to understand the diffrence w real contractions and bh..im 36weeks and have contractions all day since 34weeks but too irregular to go to l&d ths being my 5th ive had lotts of experiance the hospital usually wants them to be strong and 1-2mins apart but if u have had a preterm labor before i would go
