Am I In Labor? Im Feeling Pressure & My Stomach Is Tight. Im Having This Cramping Feeling.

night be bh but try to drink some water and sit down n relax

@mygiftof2016 im laying down and it feels like it lightens up then gets stronger

Probably just Braxton hicks and the baby starting to get ready to be in position. Unless it gets stronger happens longer and more frequently it's just a "false alarm" but it wouldn't hurt to call your doctor if you're concerned.

@mshort44 its been going on for almost an hour now

Drink some water and if that doesn't help you may need to call. but if it hasn't gotten worse or more consecutive I would just laying down. Unfortunately the things that come with pregnancy are sometimes frustrating like Braxton hicks gas ligament pain and baby pushing up against all your internal organs lol

it doesn't hurt to put in a call to your doctor or the doctor on call mama, it could be Braxton hicks but if it will put your mind at ease then I say call

@mshort44 yea i know im not complaining or anything i jusy didnt know what was happening and if this was preterm labor or not. i called my dr. but i get no answer

@sarahdrew ive. called 6 times no answer or anything 😧😩😩

call labor and delivery?

that's very odd that the clinic or office doesn't have an answering service

@sarahdrew Idk Why My Dr. office isnt amswering. and when you say labor and delivery you mean the hospital im suppose to deliever at or just any hoapital

I would call the hospital you intend to deliver at, they should already have your records

@sarahdrew ima Give it another 30 minutes and if it doesnt stop im goimg to the hospital

ok, keep us updated mama, feel free to message me

@sarahdrew i will TRUST ME

I actually had contractions & started to dilate around 30 weeks, my rule of thumb since that point has been if my tummy is just tightening & hard, it's Braxton hicks which I get regularly, if there is cramping or pain involved it is time to go in (according to my doctor since my contractions) it doesn't hurt to call or go in just to be checked because if you ARE having contractions & going in to labor they can catch it & stop it (or attempt to) if need be. I would highly suggest going in.. Best of luck!! I know it's tough ❤️
