Cramps or labor?!

[Duerrgirl]

I'm 2 days from d-day and had an exam today she's my OB stretched me from a 1.5 to 3cm and I'm 50% effaced.  About 20min after the exam I started cramping...they got super bad for awhile but it's been 4 hours and I'm still having them every 8ish min.

Is this labor or normal cramping from the procedure?

They stay strong and steady for 12 hours then finally just stopped. We were about ready to go in this morning. Guess  Any wasn't quite ready yet

I would wait till the get to 5mins apart then u should maybe get ready an head to the hospital

Yeah it's #2 my first only took 12 hours too...but my water burst first so I had a clear indication labor was starting.

I was 3cm and 50% at my exam today, I just hate to head to l&d cause it means going along or calling the sitter:(

As I told I was 3 cm I had my boy after 3 hours and it's my 2nd child which midwife said usually come quick... Is it ur baby no 2 ..

I think u r in labour and these r the indication...i m spouse to due with u but I hv my baby in 38+4 weeks....so it start like little back pain a day early as a period pain but it started sharp after midnight with water breaking.so by the time we get hospital I was 3 cm and in Gud labour ....so careful if ur water break or have rest as much as u can because u need to do hard work.....Gud luck honey...
