Hey ladies, just wanted you all opinion on what to do from here. I’m 36 + 2 now and I’ve been having some pretty intense back pain since 4am. It seems to peak so I keep waking up from my sleep because of it. This is my second pregnancy and I experienced back labor with my first as well, but contractions really became noticeable after my bloody show (which hasn’t occurred yet)

My husband is suggesting to wait it out & not go into L&D because we’re almost to term and labor may last days anyway, plus the hospital visit isn’t exactly free. I told him since I’m not full term they may offer a steroid shot for babies lungs and he’s just completely against it. He wants everything to be as natural as possible.

My question is would you allow your body to continue laboring at this point, or go in to L&D for possible intervention?
