Labor???

I have really bad lower back pain and lower Abdonmainal pain after sex. Pain started bout 30 minutes after intercourse but has only intensified since.

I'm 36 weeks. And my doctor won't stop him from coming if he's gunna come. I'm already dilated 1cm and 50% effaced.

It hurts pretty bad. Don't wanna move. Baby is still moving and when he moves in my lower abdominal area it really hurts. Both front and back pain decreases for a little bit then gets worse when I'm either contracting or baby is pushing out. Sometimes I can't tell.. Or sometimes it's both- but this happened all the time before too..

Could I be in labor?? Or??

Def wasn't happy they wanted me to go home. Tried to sleep but took forever to fall asleep with the contractions I was having..


UPDATE:  I am still having contractions but aren't as bad as last night.. Baby movement has slowed way down, and I'm not positive if I'm leaking fluid or more of a watery discharge....

I am going in. Waiting for my mom to get here to watch my daughter before I can leave..

OB nurse said that he could go up on one side cause as tightens he runs outta room in there..



I'm praying this is it!!! I know I'm early but this pregnancy has been rough and painful...

Call your Dr. And see what he says. I know when I called my Dr. When I thought I was in labor with my daughter she said it sounded to her like I was in labor and to come in and sure enough I was dilated to a 5. And I too was a single momma at the time and didn't wanna bother my mom to watch my son

If they don't go away within the next hour or so then I'd say you were in labor.

When I time them on an app it says duration started at 20seconds and have gone up to 30 now high 30's and 3 1/2 minutes apart and have gotten closer..

My back hurts when they come along with my stomach. But also every time I get one, one side of my stomach goes way high like he's pushing out.. But stomach will be hard..

When you are in labor you will know for sure. It could be and wouldn't hurt to get checked out just incase
