should I go in?

Question

the last two days ive been, what i think, contracting. nothing regular but one good one every 25 minutes or so. I have a ton of pressure down there. it hurts to walk or bend down. is this normal? I have my 36 week doctor appt tomorrow. should i wait till then to ask?

Answer

ok thanks!! just wanted to know if maybe it was normal. does everyone kind of contract days/weeks before labor or not. thanks again everyone!

Answer

Also I would just wait til tomorrow. Either you'll go into labor or you won't before then but either way you'll know it once it's almost time. They're not close enough together to really be concerning and I'd say chances are you'll still be pregnant tomorrow. Even if it is real labor, early labor like this can last a long time and lots of times women won't even realize they're in early labor. Good luck. It's almost time.

Answer

I feel for you girl. Even though this is my 4th baby it never gets easier to know you're in labor. I too have been having contractions that are slightly painful. They've increased in frequency the last few days. I'm 38 weeks so labor isn't far off. I keep thinking is this it? If they go away or stop when you are up and active then it's likely false contractions which is what mine were. It's normal though. You're body is just gearing up for the real thing.

Answer

Drink water and stay comfy at home! My hospital says to call in when you have regular contractions four minutes apart that last at least one minute each for one hour (4-1-1) or when your water breaks. Sounds like you’re not quite there yet!

Answer

I would try to drink lots of water and lay down and rest. Let your doctor know at the appointment.

Answer

Unless your having regular contractions no

Answer

I'd say just wait until tomorrow. They won't do anything with them being so far apart. Now if they get closer and you can't make it until tomorrow then sure go in
