I think im having contractions. Very very painful. But im not sure and idk if i should go in or not. I went in Saturday because i thought maybe and it wasnt it. Just BH contractions. But these are so much more painful. Not sure what to do. Today has been something else

If they are very painful your most likely in labor

I took a shower and its mild now. Dont real contractions start in your lower back? These ones have been in my lower stomach like shooting pain that spreads and only once went towards my nack

I would go in just in case do you don’t get infection only way to really know if to see how dilated you are

How far are they apart? Call the birth center, and explain to them what you’re experiencing. They’ll tell you if you need to come in.

Try drinking some water, lay on your left side.. 30 mins it should subside.. If that dont give relief hot shower ... Say bath but rather not incase its the real deal !

You should really start timing them! When they're happening every five minutes, at least a minute long and have been going on for one hour it's time to go in. It's called the 5-1-1 rule. They try to have you go by that unless something is really concerning. You can always call if you're in that much pain and go in. It's totally better to be safe and go a million times if you need too. They basically told me though unless you're dilated past 4cm, your water breaks or you have another complication you'll be sent home until labor progresses. Fingers crossed baby is on her way! 😊🙌🏻

I have done all that. Nothing helps. I think theyre contractions but its not getting any closer together so i didn't go in. Went to sleep which took awhile because of the pain. Then woke up at 330 nothings changed. Painful. Comes in waves and hasnt completely gone away

Sounds like early labor. I had this going on for about two days. The third day I went into active labor. Walking and hip rotations on my yoga ball really amped them up until it was baby time.

good to know. I should probably go in today or wait?

I would personally wait until you're meeting that 5-1-1 rule to call and talk with your doctor before going in. That's usually when they'll say you should come in to checked for dilation. For now just keep drinking water and hope those contractions get stronger! I will tell you I went to L&D a handful of times during early labor and they basically told me come back when you're in so much pain you can't handle them anymore and you're ready for an epidural. By that point I was screaming on the way to the hospital. Thank god I was actually dilating. Again if you have any worries always just call/go in no need to wait. If you are comfortable at home, the longer you wait the better, so the contractions are strong and regular by the time you're heading in.
