labor soon!??

Hi guys...I'm almost 35 weeks pregnant n on Sunday night
I went into preterm labor I had contractions n back pain for
Like 16 hrs but it went away over night. Then this morning I woke
Up from pain at 5am i had excruciating cramps and lower back
Cramps...but now I feel OK again! So confusing...haven't gone
To the hospital cause I feel OK now n water didn't break. Can
U guys give me any advice ? Does this mean labor is near?
I'm soooooo confused

I went through the same thing..i had back pain and cramps one day for a few hours but went away...came back a few days later, ended up going to the hospital but they sent me home bcuz I wasn't dilated enough...contractions got closer and closer when I was at home so I went back then ended up delivering the baby that day...my advice to you would be to make sure your contractions are a consistent time interval apart..I waited until they were 2 mins apart but it's up to you when you want to call your doc. Good luck!

I agree. In my past two pregnancies my water didn't break either and when I had contractions I went to the hospital and was dilated to a five and 45mins later to  7! So be careful

You need to go to the hospital if ur water dosent break it don't mean that ur not in labor. Just having contracrions alone indicates labore sometimes is braxton hicks but should go to make sure ur not dialated u wanna keep that baby in atleast 3 more weeks.   Go to the hospital.
