Aa
should I go to the hospital?
I can't call my doctor. She says go to triage if you think something is going on. Well I'm due any day now. My appointment last week I was 1 and a half to 2 cm dialated and 70% effaced..... have been cramping alot and have more loose bowels and disharhe and feel lots of pressure throughout the day. People keep saying you ll know when it's time but I don't really now. I'm not really I that much pain and the "contractions" aren't really measurable. But I'm having lower back pain and nausea along with the menstrual like cramping. But it's not taking my breath away. Idk what to do. My mom says go to the hospital cause she said she felt the same way with her first kid and the admitted her. I just don't want to go and them send me home and I feel stupid....I have a doctors appointment on Friday l. My last day of work is tomorrow and my actually due date is monday..... any advice? Should I go to the hospital and see if I'm in early labor or should I just keep waiting it out? It seems as thought it's progressed since this morning.
Don't feel dumb I said the same thing I didn't kno what contractions felt like but trust me when they come you will definitely know they feel like period cramps but alot worse
Do you feel your tummy tightening and then releasing? Those are what contractions feel like
Not lost mucus plug and water has not broke. I feel extra leaky but I think it's just bladder incontinence
That's the thing. I am not sure if they are really contractions. It's alot of pressure on my cervix feels like baby is trying to escape. I feel dumb thati don't know if it's a real contraction or just another pain that goes along with pregnancy. It seems like they were happening e eery 5 min or so but they weren't long in duration. Was pretty quick then would happen again 5 min later. Having lower back pain more now than I have all day
If contractions aren't consistent and every few minutes apart than wait a little longer. Have you lost your plug or waters broke?
