Contractions????

[mommmajefferiesof4]

Hello ladies. I am 30+5 weeks. I have been experiencing groin pain and hardening of my belly. Are these real or not?? This is my 4th pregnancy but i have never experienced this before.  I have always had csection so doint know what labor or contractions are supposed to feel like. Please help me if you can

I'd either call (you could probably talk to a nurse) or go just to be safe.

Thank you. I have had more than 4 in an hour at times and they have been going on for the last 2 days.. so do you think i should go in to l&d??

I've  also experienced groin pain that is normal stretching the pelvis is adjusting to you as your baby grows eventually getting ready for delivery. (As long as ur not feeling heavy pressure then go to L&D) The hardening of your tummy is definitely a contraction, the Dr. told me as long as I don't  have more than 4 in an hour and they don't grow to be more intense and painful it's normal. If they become more frequent and painful I'd go to L&D.
