labor starting?

[caylas10]

I'm 34w 3d and last night and much of the day today I've been having pretty strong but inconsistent contractions and cramping in my pelvic region and back. I was in the hospital at 31w contracting and I went from not dilated to almost a 2 in the 4 days I was there. They also gave me pills to stop the contractions shots for the baby's lungs and magnesium for his brain. My doctors doesn't really like you to call unless it's like an emergency so I'm not sure if I should. Anyone deal with anything similar? I don't know what to do.

I afraid of that happening babyray, but I also don't want to go in like Lauren did and have them tell me that. The contractions are still pretty inconsistent, I have some that are pretty faint then some that are strong and they come and go. I have a lot of pressure down there though like I feel like he's about to pop out when I walk.

I was in the other night with strong contractions but they would go from 4 min apart to 20, to an hour. They monitored me and had me walk and such for 5 hours before sending me home BC the contractions were so sporadic. It *****. I'm 39+3 (was 39+1 when I was in)

And my pains were mostly in my back!

I just had my daughter on the 15th of this month, I was only 34 weeks 2 days... I woke up around 12:30 pm with severe menstrual like cramps and bleeding pretty bad so I called the hospital and they said come in so I got there at 1 pm and was hooked up to the contractions machine she told me I wasn't contracting even though I know I was anyway she said they'd check me just in case  so at 1:30 they checked me for dilation and I was dilated to 5 cm at 2 pm when they checked me I was 8 cm! My contractions just felt like really strong period cramps. Was definitely unexpected surprise but she was very healthy weighing 5 lbs 11 oz!

This office won't stop labor if your 34 or farther so I just wasn't sure if I should wait for more time able ones or not. Thanks!

At 34 weeks early labor symptoms are an emergency so I would definitely call! If the doc doesn't think its an emergency then maybe he/she needs a brain scan lol. Good luck sweetie :)
