contractions? i feel like i could scream..

Its feels like I'm about to crap on myself. I know that's tmi but all day long I've been getting this feeling with tightening in my back nd stomach with those stupid period cramps... every 14 to 16 minutes.. they're lasting about 1 tp 2 minutes..I'm becoming annoyed. I keep thinking I jus need to go to the bathroom..but nothing. Yesterday I felt a tearing feeling nd had a snotty discharge..me being me googled mucous plug images nd bam that's exactly what it looked like.. its to early to have this baby..I have a history of preterm labor but I am concerned she is coming way to early.. braxton hicks aren't consistent.. nd I feel like I'm constantly peeing on myself.. but I am starting to think its so much more than that..but 3 kids later you'd think I would jus know.. but this whole pregnancy has been completely off from my others.. grr.

Go to the e.r. if u are in labor and its to early they need to stop the contractions before you start to dialate.

Can constipation cause any of this? I sound silly askin since I have had three. But its been almost 4 years since I had my last baby. nd im on my feet a lot. But the symptoms dont stop when Iay down or change positions. But I know when I get to labor nd delivery itll stop nd ill be one of those crazy pregnant women who looks nutsssss..like nothings happening.

Hey ladies.. I am ok.. been a rough night. Waited 2 hours for hospital to finally check me after contractions increasing to every 7 minutes.. I'm starting to dilate nd the babies head is engaged. I'm dehydrated so I am on ivs. They r taking good care of me..I'm jus exhausted... but I'm now being told I have no choice but to be on complete bedrest. How am I going to afford bills with being on bedrest..my job won't pay for my maternity leave.. I'm so worried now. She isn't due til march. I have some vacation time built up but not enough to cover 3 months. the babys heart rate is a lil low. I did lose my mucous plug... they're still monitering me... ill update as soon as we find out anything else.
