Preterm Labor (please help!!)

Hey guys, so I’ve been having pretty gnarly cramps and back pain all last night and this morning paired with BH and I’m 35 weeks. The difference with this is, my baby is hardly moving, I feel sick and I can’t “pinpoint” the Braxton Hicks. It just feels like waves of cramping and hardening, but the back pain is constant. I even got up in the middle of the night to check heart tones because something felt “off”.

I’ve drank lots of water, laying on my left side and took a bath. I prefer not to take pain meds so I have yet to try that, but will if it’s a last resort.

This is my second babe, but I didn’t go into labor until 40 weeks with my first and this just seems so different.

Has anyone gone into preterm labor, or experienced this in the third trimester??

I live thirty minutes from the closest hospital and my husband is on military duty, so it’s just me and my son, and id rather be safe than sorry! Thank you!! 💛
