Should I go to the doctor or not?

Question

I'm 39 +3 started having what I think is my bloody show Friday night  ( 39+1) and still am now... been having contractions and cramping semi regular, and starting today increasing in intensity. Not really feeling much movement? Been told it's normal for reduced movement. But I'm not sure what to do, help?

Answer

Thanks everyone. I ended coming in because of the little movement.. turned out to be a good thing had to be induced due to low fluid. Currently in the hospital room

Answer

Hold out until you just can't bare the pain any longer (the longer you wait the more likely you'll be admitted) then call your hospital or birthing center and they'll tell you if you're ready to come in.

Answer

With reduced movement definitely. I've always been told you shouldn't feel less movement even during labor. The movements should just become less of a jolt and more of a rolling movement when they start running out of room. Even during labor with our first I could feel her moving plenty.

Answer

If they are increasing in intensity, and semi regular I'd go in. Mine were a little bit all over the place timing them, but they gradually got stronger so I knew it was time. Had my girl 3 1/2 hours after getting to the hospital.

Answer

I would go to my doctor. That happenednto me and my dr said i was already on labor. He told me to go straight to delivery room and not go home anymore.

Answer

Yes, I would go in and be monitored
