Early Labor Signs?

I have this feeling that he will arrive too early. I am 34 weeks and 3 days and while he is moving a considerate amount, I've been having a lot of menstrual like cramps, back pain that spreads across my lower back and over my hips, a lot of pressure in my vagina which also just aches and I get these shooting pains there too. I've also had sharp pains on my right and left side all day. A lot of extra discharge but no noticeable fluid leakage. And he hasn't really moved since this morning. I've been laying down and drinking water but he just stopped moving around three today. I don't know if this is all normal or not and my doctor always acts like I'm crazy when I ask he questions so I want to see what you other moms think before I talk to her.

Nothing would be done. They've told me that nothing has to be done just because of a hunch. They won't check my cervix at all.

Try having someone else call for you.. I'd report them to the medical board. My situation isn't that bad but that is completely unprofessional.

Omg this is happening to me too my doctor on the last visit said it is normal, signs of Braxton hicks . For the pain to drink Tylenol, and put hot ice pack, drink lots of water and get plenty of rest, that was the advice she gave me. Has helped alil but tbh everything still hurts.

They will just tell me to drink water and lay down or take a Tylenol. They are so uninterested in my pregnancy since the beginning. I can never get their attention for more then a five minute phone call where they say "yeah yeah you're fine" but I feel it in my gut that something is happening. I've always been working my entire pregnancy. Eight hours on my feet.

Omgoodness. I thought only my nurse or doctor madero feel like that. Have you actually called the doctor? Try that bc what your describing sounds pretty serious. If may just be another stupid part of pregnancy but only your doctor can tell you that's. I'm sure they'll suggest for you to try some home things to ease the symptoms and if that doesn't work- plan b (go to the hospital) your baby is more important. There are always to pay things off.

If I'm not in actual labor, my insurance won't pay for the visit and it will all come out of my pocket which I can't afford. It is a tough decision
