Mommies: what do cramping pains mean this far along in pregnancy? I'm 39+2.. FTM the cramps are in my hips and feel like…

How often?

They come quite often.. @queendavis

when I had that problem with my last son it was contractions I took a warm shower and that's when my water had broke

@sheneque1990, they been starting for a few days now I don't know what they are.. just feel like I'm gonna have my period

Well it sounds like contractions. Do you have the contraction timing app? Get it and time them. Take a warm bath and if they don't go away then you're in labor!

@queendavis, I'll download it. But how do I time them? When it starts? And then when a new one comes? Or what.. 😕

The app should tell you but yeah you click start or whatever when the contraction starts then you click end when it's over. Then a new one comes and you click start again, and so on. And it'll tell you how long each contraction is and how often you're having them. If they're under 7 mins apart then you need to go to l&d :)

yes @mommytomaximus those are contractions he is pushing down when they are five mins apart that's when you go to labor and delivery are you dialted

sound like contractions .. time them .

@queendavis, @sheneque1990 @threekings101415 alright I will use the app and time them and let you ladies know.. and I am 1 1/2 cm dilated I got checked Wednesday.. 😐 so hopefully these aren't fake contractions though but it does feel like I'm gonna start my period 😫

Ok hunny. Let me know. and they r most likely contractions.. Today may be the day 😊

please do keep us updated @mommytomaximus

@sheneque1990, @threekings101415 I'll keep you ladies updated of course ❤️

👍

💙

while you have these pains, if you get up and walk if it still hurts they are contractions, try to time them, good luck hun

@melissaivania, it does hurt when I walk 😟😞😓

I think you're in labor and am betting that you'll meet baby Maximus sometime late tonight 😉😉

@mommytomaximus, time to go to the hospital!

@mommytomaximus baby is coming soon 😉 a warm bath helps ease some of the pain. time them, if they're 5 minutes or less apart, last between 45 seconds to 1 minute then go to the hospital

@queendavis, @mamabear01 @melissaivania do I time the cramps or time when my belly get really hard?? I'm so confused 😣

time them when you start getting hard

@chocohunnybees, thank you well they're 2 mins apart then.. cramps are coming and going and I have been on the toilet diaherria (However you spell that) too.. 😓 sorry tmi

No worries. tmi is what this site is for! go to the hospital so they can check your dilation . I had contractions like that for 24 hours before I even got to 3cm dialated. I pray your labor be short and easy!

yes diareha is a big sign!

girl go to the hospital 😵

@melissaivania, well I'm hungry 😓 I'm gonna eat something first and then if the pains are still here I'll ask my mom if she can take me
