Throwing up in early labor???

Okay I will be 39 weeks tomorrow and at my appointment Thursday my dr said I was soft and thinning.
in the last hour and a half I have had 12 contractions ( well I think they are contractions because they are slightly painful and make me feel sick ) I have also thrown up once....could this be early labor or am I just over reacting and hoping it is?
I am a ftm so I am not sure

Are the contractions regular or irregular? Do they last for a full minute? Could be early labor but start looking at the patterns.
Also...try and get something with electrolytes down if you are vomiting. Dehydration can get confusing and cause unrelated contractions.
Good luck Mama!

Sounds like a start :) doctor will know tomorrow. If they get steady every 4 minutes head to labor and delivery. They may send you home or keep you depending of course :)

they are between 4-10 minutes apart since 5:30 , I am trying to drink more water thankfully I have only thrown up once but I hate throwing up...this is just the first time they have been painfully uncomfortable for me normally I can move and then it stops being uncomfortable I have been having bh anywhere from 10-30 for like the last week but most of the time I didn't notice unless my hand was on my belly... I would love for the baby to come but if not I am hoping these pains will go away

I'm the same as milkshake lol last nite I had all the signs of early labor but I wasn't dilated anymore than I had been for a couple weeks at 1.5-2cm, my contractions were painful and 2mins apart for like 4 hours. I've been having contractions for like a month now though. I've been to the hospital almost every night this week. I don't know when i should go now since they just keep sending me home. Kinda aggrevating. Lol

That's how my preterm labor was at 33 weeks. I'll be 38 weeks Tuesday. It does sound like labor starting. Sometimes, it's nothing but being that I just went through this and had my labor stopped a few weeks ago, that's what it sounds like to me.
