Early labor???

Question

I woke up at three this morning and my back, groin and hips hurt. Almost like I'm about to start my period. Not terribly painful, but uncomfortable. When I was lying in bed, I had BH contractions every 20 minutes consistently. I went to work, and although my symptoms haven't changed, I notice them less now that I'm busy. Have any of you ladies had this yet? The first thing I thought was early labor, but it could also be gas or normal prego pains. Let me know please if you had this and if it goes away or progresses.

Answer

Could be- I was like that for the first 5hrs of labor.  It started at 9/10 at night.  I was even able to fall asleep until about 2am.  Then woke up and contractions were a lot stronger and only 7min apart.  By 5am they were under 5min apart and we drove to the hospital.

Answer

I woke up with the same thing and put my husband on alert just in case things progress. I went to work as normal. I am currently more uncomfortable than normal but no real contractions or progression. In the what to expect boom it does say it's all a sign of early labor but that it could last for weeks :-(

Answer

Not sure to be honest but keep track of the contractions.

Answer

This is what I expirience every day for the past few weeks. Just goes to show how different everyone is. (35 w 1 d)

Answer

So my contractions are no longer 20 mins apart... More sporadic and occasional now. I still have the hip, groin, and back pain. It worsens when I walk. I'm thinking at this point I'll probably be fine, but I will keep you posted if there are changes.
