What would you do?

Question

Trying not to be hysterical. I’m 35w almost and I’ve been having backache and cramps for over an hour that aren’t really getting better in a bath. 
I’ve had two contractions in the last 20 mins. Low on the pain scale. Could be BH but I’m moving around and they don’t stop.
I’ve also have a lot of BMs the past few days. 
But, I also was very active today. All this really started as soon as my Fitbit said I clocked 10k steps. 
Do I go in? Do I wait?

Answer

I would lay down and try to relax. My doctor has told me that 6 contractions in an hour she wanted me to be checked at L&D. I’m 35 weeks

Answer

Not hysterical , just a mama.
Wait it out , keep an eye on those contractions and if they persist for another hr or 2 then go in and get checked🥰

Answer

They say you have Braxton Hicks more if you’re active. I actually just read that

Answer

Hey I’m 35 weeks and I’m kind of freaking out too. Although I’m probably over reacting. But I’m having low abdomen period like cramps and starting to wonder if they are contractions? Lol and I feel so much pressure down there it’s insane. Im definitely gonna wait mine out cause I’m sure mine will pass. If you are unsure maybe you can call the hospital and ask what they recommend and they may check you. It’s better to check just to make sure.

Answer

I was told to wait until contractions are 5 minutes apart. BH often come after an active day. Drink water and try to relax 🤗

Answer

I'd wait it out and see if they get more intense or closer together. I had all those symptoms all day and my contractions spaced out and slowed down eventually. I'm having a few an hour now but they're still not painful. I'm waiting for them to be consistent before I even consider it to be actual labor starting.

Answer

I would keep waiting. 
Starting at 34 weeks (now 36) ive been having minor contractions. Nothing helps easy the pain and it lasts awhile but then goes away after awhile.
