I’ve been up for four hours with contractions that hurt enough to keep me awake. When I lay down they really hurt and when I stand they’re not too bad. No Mucus plug or water break. What should I do??

my mucus plug never popped nor did my water break……I just went in after 4 hours of contractions

You need to time them.
A "consistent"' 3 to to 5 minutes means hospital time. Your water doesn't always break on it's own or sometimes it waits till your much further into labor and I didnt ever visibly see myself lose my mucus plug before actual labor.

My water never broke but I woke up like you and by the time I got to the hospital I was very close to delivering

Sounds like your baby is coming soon!

My water didn’t break on its own for either of my babies. I would call your doc and talk to whoever is on call. I’d imagine they’d want you to go get checked

Def time them and then call the dr office. Once you can’t talk through your contractions you should be heading out to the hospital. Praying all goes well for you and you have a speedy labor and delivery and healthy baby. 🤍

@scam822, the amount of pain went down at 4am and I fell asleep. I hope this baby comes out soon

we’ll all of our friends and family will find out the gender once we get home. I figure I’ll do like a sip and see. And when they meet the baby they’ll know the gender. I will be sending the photo (text) but just of the baby’s hands in ours. And it’s baby toes just to let them know I’ve given birth just to bother them lol. Something like this lol

I’m officially 37 weeks. This baby is big. So they are hoping I have this baby natural this week. No later than Friday. I’m 3cm dilated and they stripped my membranes on Friday. So I’m starting to have contractions. Just need them to be a little closer. Right now I feel a Braxton hick followed by period like cramping that goes all the way down to my legs. So I’m hoping those are my contractions. It’s so crazy. It’s my 3rd baby and I feel like it’s my first rodeo. Like idk what to look for lol I

oh how fun 🥰 well hopefully it goes smoothly for you. I’m convinced my body doesn’t go into labor naturally at this point. I had a baby three years ago and I’m clueless as well haha. It’s always so different
