pains and tightening

i am having extremely bad pelvic and lower back pain and  stomach pains along with tightening of my stomache. I also have nausea and have been drinking more than a gallon of water a day hoping it would help. My last dr. Appt. He said i was dropped and he would give me between ten days n two weeks n i would have her. That was about three days ago. I have not had a bloody show or anything other than these symptoms and menstreul like cramps.  35 1/2 weeks with my forst baby n would very much appreciate some help

I did go n they did not even check me for dilation or anything. No urine or blood work to make sure everything was ok. No sono. Nothing. I live in a small town tho and to be wuite honest this hospital seems to not do anything right. But i have no choice but to go here the nearest hospital is 45 minutes away

When you are 40 weeks pregnant(the doctors estimate your due date to be 40 weeks from the first day of your last period) the baby is actually only 38 weeks because the egg isn't fertilized until 2 weeks after the first day of your last period.

It could be early labor or practice labor if a pattern hasn't been established. I would call your doc to get checked out.

I'd call your dr to see if you could go to the hospital for an assessment. Not everyone Looses their plug before labor. Good luck n keep us updated.
