I'm super annoyed right now. I'm almost 36 weeks. I've been having really bad pelvic and lower back pains since saturday, today is Wednesday. I just left my Drs office. He confirmed i'm having contractions, not braxton hicks, BUT sent me home. Didn't even do a pelvic check to see if i have dilated. Said if they get within 5 minutes of each other, or bleeding, or water breaks then to go to hospital. Is this normal???? I have a 15 year old in which i had NO contractions. For my first my water broke and thats why i went in to the hospital and i didn't feel anything until i was 9cm and it was only mild cramping. I'm literally in tears sitting in my car thinking he shouldve atleast done a pelvic? Just said see you next week.....
