Yep! Checking can ripen your cervix!

@mom211n11 I had an appointment Monday but he didn't check for any dilation but did say she was running out of room to grow already and I could possibly be induced around 36 weeks. And then today this pain just came

When I was every 4 minutes and lasting 1 min I was approaching a 5 cm. Arrived 45 min later at a 6 almost 7.

I would call L&D. That back pain can be real contractions.

@mom211n11 they last about 2 min and are 3-4 min apart

4 minutes in between the next?! Call L&D!!

@moneshacharmagne I've timed them and they are about 4 min apart. I don't even know how far apart contractions are supposed to be

I’m gonna say go to the ER. I was having back labor didn’t even know just knew it was killing me.
