im 39 weeks and 2 days pregnant im not sure if i should go to the hospital.I have really bad pelvic pain that comes and goes.plus i can barely walk.

[AniitaFariias]

Okay im going to start timing them thank Mommies

Let us know how it goes

Sounds like contractions to me. Id time them and track their intensity. But its also very commom to get cramps after a pelvic exam so it could go away id stay moving for awhile to try to keep them coming.

Its my second baby.My first daughter was actually born exactly on my due date.And yeah the pain increases then goes away

[ericatoday]

They say its a good time to go in if you cant talk or walk through a contraction.

Do they come like a pain that increases then fades away then comes back feeling the same or worse? If so you may be contracting. I found its best to download a contraction timer. Contractions are actually timed from the time the first one starts until the time the next one starts. Its weird but thats how its timed so a contraction timer is a life saver it makes it so much easier. If its your first baby they say when theyre 5-7 minutes apart if its your 2nd+ then 3-5 minutes. But id say 3-5 is best you dont want to he in the hospital to long unless you live really far from the hospital. With my last baby as soon as they started they were 2-3 mins apart lasting anywhere fr 30-45 seconds. I labored at home for 5 hours until i knew it was time to go get checked.
