Anyone feeling the same???

Question

Ok ladies so I'm due 10/9 and this is my 3rd pregnancy. For the past week I've been having more and more contractions & lower back pain. Today I am 38.3 weeks and I have been experiencing more intense pain, but nothing consistent and my inner thighs are killing me. It hurts to lift my legs and put on pajamas. At my appointment last week Thursday I was 2cm & 20% effaced.

Answer

So here's an update ladies. Last night I was woken up by what felt like really bad menstrual cramps around 11:30pm. Tried going back to sleep and every time I felt like I was settling down I would get another. That lasted all night. Morning came and I used the bathroom and when I wiped I noticed a pink tinge on the tissue. I called my OB's office because at this point my contractions had been coming every 15 minutes. I arrive at the doctors office and I was asked to leave urine. When I looked in the cup there was a squid like floaty in the cup. I then wiped and it was discharge along with some blood. I informed the nurse and she stated that was my "bloody show". I was then checked by my midwife who states that I have not dilated anymore, but I am thinning out. She suggested I go home and take a warm bath and just monitor the contractions and when they are 7 minutes apart or less, I should be aware that it's game time. So frustrating because the contractions are very strong they just aren't close together.

Answer

It's very frustrating because you would think that with all the pain and discomfort something would be happening down below. I am starting to believe they my lil guy will be late like his daddy.

Answer

I've been feeling the same way, due the same day as you. Have been extremely uncomfortable all night with almost 0 sleep except I'm not dilated or effaced at all.

Answer

Just went to the doctor today because I couldn't sleep due to being so uncomfortable. OB checked me and said I'm still the same haven't changed since last Thursday. I'm 2cm 20% effaced and very long. The back pain, inconsistent contractions is making me so uncomfortable. My first two were induced. Oldest @ 36 weeks because of preeclampsia and second @ 39.5 weeks due to OB being out of the country. This is the first time I've dilated on my own without the assistance of medication. Hopefully this baby boy comes soon.

Answer

I'm feeling the same and this is my 4th pregnancy. I'm 38 weeks and dilated to 2. Never dilated with my last babies before going into labor so I'm not sure what to expect.

Answer

I'm only 35.3 weeks and can't lift my legs without my inner thighs hurting. Is that supposed to be an indication that birth could be soon? 😨

Answer

My 3rd one as well. I've had lower pelvic pressure and pain all day combined with back cramps. Feels like PMS times 10. When I go to the bathroom feels like my bottom is going to split open. I went in last Saturday with consistent contractions but wasn't dialating. Thought for sure it would be this weekend. I've been doing laundry and can't sit still all day. My first was born at 36weeks, my second at 38weeks, I am 38+1 now.
