Aa
labor? some one please respond.
I'm 39+4 and I keep having contractions every 10 minutes. My back hurts, I feel like I have to poop, my legs hurt and pressure in my abdomen. I have had false labor twice this week so my midwife wants to wait it out. Said she'd call me in two hours to check on me. Only problem is I stay two hours away from the hospital. What should I do? I don't want to have her at home or in the car.
Also the urge to want to poop is your baby is dropping getting ready for the journey to come out sounds like labor sighns to me I would know lol im in the mom and baby room just had her 24hrs ago.
Have you had more than 4 contractions in an hour? And is it hurting more each time? Go with your gut I waited around for 2days with contractions and my daughter was stressed when I came to the hospital they almost had to do an emergency csection so if you feel its the real thing then go in.
That's a tough call.
I'd wait until they get to maybe 8 minutes apart.. Then start driving.
At my hospital, you'll get admitted if you progress. For example, I went to the hospital and was dialated to 4 cm... They gave me a choice to go home or walk around the hospital for an hour. ..If I dialated more after that hour, I would get admitted. After the hour was up, i was 6 cm so I had my daughter a little later that day. Maybe your hospital does the same. Man, that sounds just like me when I was in labor. Especially the needing to poop part. Screw it, go to the hospital lol. A lot can change in 2 hours.
