contractions?
I'm 37+3 today and it's 2 am. I'm not having much stomach tightening but I have a back pain and cramps that come and go? Are these contractions even though my stomach doesn't get hard Everytime? Idk what I'm looking for or how to start timing them if they are contractions. Do I start when the pain starts in my back or when cramping starts? Or do I only time it if my muscles tighten?
If you think you're leaking fluid put on a pad. Lay down with your hips elevated. Wait 20ish mins. Then stand up. If u feel a small gush or large gush most likely its your fluids. Or if it consistantly happens when your bending or squatting. If it does keep happening id go to L&D
Yes I agree with pp. that’s how labor started with my first. No back pain or anything like that but my water started leaking. If it continues to leak u should call your ob and either go there early this am or head to l&d. Good luck
