I hate to be that person, but I'm desperate...
About 1.5 hours ago I started getting really bad back and abdominal pain. I've tried timing contractions but the pain has been almost constant I can't really tell. No bloody show or leaking. I've tried a shower, on my 3rd cup of water, and tried every position possible, and I can't stop peeing. I'm 36+4. Id hate to wake up my family for this (it's 12:26am). My first pregnancy was induced so i don't know what natural labor is like. Suggestions? I have an NST at 2pm should I try to hold out?



Hydrating worked enough to be discharged with follow up at 2pm with OB unless anything happens. Positive vibes he keeps cooking please.
Updating: contracting every 2 minutes however I am only at 1-2cm dialated, 30% effaced and -3 station so they are trying to hydrate me to hopefully stop contractions.
Still felt off. On call nurse wanted me in. At L&D now
Spoke to the on call nurse. The back pain subsided and the contractions I could finally time are still far apart so she wants me to give it another hour and go in if it gets bad again. The hospital is literally right across the street (I can see the entrance from my front porch) so since baby boy is super active with a home doppler hb of 145 she feels comfortable with me waiting it out. ? I need a nap.
Glad to hear!! Relax and stay hydrated.
