How do you know labor is really starting? Last night I was having terrible back pains and cramping, my stomach was upset, I was nauseous and felt really strange. Unlike anything I've felt before. I live about half hour from the hospital,  so I wanted to make sure I was in labor before going. I ended up falling asleep. I woke up and still have some of the pains but not as severe. I also started leaking colostrum yesterday. Im 35+1 but measuring a week ahead.

My appt is today... im still having contractions but they aren't consistent. I also have pressure down below, like he is pushing down. I hope its not labor just yet.

If you are having contractions and you can time them i would call l&d to see if they want you to come in. I wouldnt worry about the colostrum Ive been leaking for weeks and still no labor... hopefully soon though! I love being prego but im done and ready to meet my little one :)
