Feels like the baby is trying to push his way out of my cervix. I keep getting shooting pains and cramps. My water hasn't broke and no bloody show so I'm not sure if it's labor or not... I'm 37+1 today and FTM I have no idea about contractions or how to really time them. Should I call my doctor or L&D?
@mama_icie, I had back labor and it was the worst ever!!!!! I was only 4 cm and contractions were coming less than a minute apart. Holy crap. I was like "I changed my mind I wanna go home and sleep!" the nurse was like "we hear that a lot" 😂
Just bc your water doesn't break or you don't have bloody show doesn't mean you're not in labor.
your stomach will get rock hard and feel like the worst period cramps ever or they will go to back "back labor" and make you feel like if you had military secrets youd talk lol same with normal contractions haha but trust me yoy will know when its time listen to your body
@kellynicole, I haven't been to sleep because of it. I know his head is right there and I've tried walking to move him. But of course even walking to the bathroom hurts because of my hip pain feeling like I'm going to tear in two with each step. 😥
@mama_icie I don't know what contractions feel like.... I heard they're different for everyone. Thats why I was kind of worried.
@mommyandbriston 😂😂 that actually gave me some peace of mind. I'll remember that if I start to get contractions! 😂😂
Nothing wrong with calling your doc just for your peace of mind, I did that a lot. She kept telling me "hon, you'll KNOW when you're having real contractions, it won't be "is this labor" it'll be "I need an epidural"" and girl, she was right 😂😂
id wait til you get contractions its just your body getting ready for whats about to come
hahaaa @mommyandbriston my first pregnancy i had it bad omg i was almost in tears but epidural and was out like a light i woke up long enough telling them i need to push
