I am 38 weeks.. contractions on avg of 4 mins & 58secs. my water has not broke but for the last two hours I've been having pressure in my vaginal area (throbbing too) and back pain on left side. I'm a ftm and don't want to go into the er if they are just going to send me home. Monday I was checked and was not dialated.. I don't want to go in for no reason. so question is what do y'all think I should do?
and the contractions are not painful at all just the pressure down below is getting really uncomfortable.
go in!
the SAME thing has been happening to me since Wednesday at 1:30..
I went in, still 1 cm and 50%. my contractions are 5 mins apart
my doctor told me to call if they were five minutes apart and painful so it never hurts to get checked
well if your contractions are that close. I would call L&D. sounds like your in early labor. better be safe then sorry.
try walking around or taking a warm bath or shower see if that helps the pain.
I think you should go in. That's how I was. I had went in on a Friday at 39 weeks and I was not dilated at all, and 5 days later I went in because I was having contractions and I was dilated to a five and had her that evening!
Id go in just to be safe
