Hello Momma's! I have a quick question. (TMI!!) POST! IF SENSITIVE DON'T READ.
Ever since last Saturday I've been having pelvic pains that feel like menstrual cramps, they shoot to my back and tighten underneath my stomach and lower back to where I can't walk. The last on either had it knocked me on my knees crying and shaking.. I've been having some symptoms ever since Saturday as well like:
Diarrhea
Fatigue
Nausea
Menstrual cramps
Head aches
More than frequent urination
Lime green stool
Using the restroom 2-3 times a day (unlike me)
Fever
Sinus with green/yellow snot
Sore throat
My body hurts and feel wore down to where I can't lift my leg.
Loss of appetite
I went to the ob yesterday and got my cervix checked and I was 1cm dilated so far. She thinks their Braxton hicks but when I get Braxton hicks I get them on top of my stomach and they aren't painful they just tighten my stomach and make me lose breath. These are so different. She also did the Group B test and she swabbed me inside up to my cervix I could feel it and it stung so bad like someone gave me a shot up there or scratched me. I thought on a group b they swab around on the outside.. could be wrong but thought she did it wrong. She kept getting annoyed with me telling me unless I'm bleeding or leaking fluid not to come in the ob er. (My original doctor (male)) is out of office until Monday and shes a replacement till then when he comes back. After me leaving my ob office I felt different, really different honestly. Numb, stinging, had white "Watery discharge I thought" it smelled weird as well I was sitting in my car when this happen. I have been having so much discharge some yellow and other so runny and clear it looked like water. But I haven't had the watery discharge come out anymore, just yellowish discharge everytime I go pee and wipe down there. Sometime a lot and sometime just a tad but enough to notice it. I've been having so much more frequent menstrual pains ever since after the doctor visit yesterday as well. I honestly just need some advice... is this signs of labor? Maybe the pain is me dialating? This is my third baby.

Definitely sounds like your body is hard prepping for labor right now. I would also report her. That's unacceptable! And screw it. If you have any concerns go into l&d. This is your child! And that is their job to make sure you and baby are ok!
I honestly don't think doctors should be touching the cervix at all during pregnancy unless they have to or mom wants to be checked after 36w. This is your health and child on the line. Don't let that one bad doctor turn you off of getting real help!
@kambam that's what I'm gonna do I didnt even think of that! I thought how she was doing my group b test was wrong but didnt want to be rude and think I knew more about her job than herself when shes suppose to be the licensed ob.
If you are feeling that off, I think that you should go to L&D and get evaluated. Let them know what that doctor said and have them contact your actual doctor. Prayers, Mama.
