I need advice. I think I've been having real contractions. I've been feeling cramps and pains that shoot from my back to my pelvic area in increments. I've been feeling them since Wednesday and they have not gone away, only gotten worse. I'm trying to avoid going to the OB ER but I feel like I need to. I'm also getting mucus discharge. I've tried to move around, I've tried laying down, drinking more water, etc.. nothing has changed. what do you ladies think?

it's really hard to. I'm new to this and I haven't figured it all out. There's definitely more than 5 an hour though

When is your next appointment?

next Friday but my doctor doesn't really do much at my appointments and doesn't really pay attention. it's my high risk doctor that pays attention. I don't see her until the 13th though :( my doctor just tells me they're braxton hicks and doesn't check my cervix or anything. I've had braxton hicks every day since the end of the second trimester so I know these aren't braxton hicks because braxton hicks don't really hurt and they don't get worse

Well at this next appointment is when they normally start checking your cervix. If you're really concerned then call your office and explain this to them and be adamant

she thinks I'm only 32 weeks. she doesn't really look at my high risk doctors notes so that's why she keeps telling me braxton hicks. my high risk doctors does ultrasounds at every appointment and knows how far along I actually am. my actual OB is too busy to pay attention to the notes

Why do you go to two? Just don't go to the regular one if you don't trust them

because I'm high risk so I see a high risk doctor every 6 weeks

I guess we are going through the same thing! I only had some blood in my discharge like very light but most of it is just really mucusy. they say it can be brown too. i know i lost some of it though because i felt it drop from in between my legs when i went potty. it was really slimy feeling and heavy. I just don't know if braxton hicks can get worse or not because I don't think what I'm feeling is normal. I've tried everything.

I've tried laying down, sitting up, walking around, I can't even sleep they're so bad. I have no idea what's going on. I'm 37 weeks tomorrow. I know baby is pretty long so he may come at any time since 36 weeks is considered full term
