Shooting pains!!

Jenai • Keep Calm I`m Having a Boy

I'm 36weeks and 4days pregnant

I went to the Dr day before yesterday and was told I'm dilated to a 2 and 50% effacted. The pains are shooting for my back to pelvic area. It's starting to hurt to walk and sit up. I have done hot baths for the last two nights. What can I do to either progress labor or help with the shooting pains. I am allergic to ibprohen and generic brand

I'm going to have to disagree with Allison...sorry...37 weeks is considered full term btw...my son was born at exactly 36 weeks and was a healthy 7lbs 13oz and had no trouble at all...I also had a friend who delivered twins at 35 weeks and they were both very healthy and didn't need intervention....is the shooting pain constant? Or is it more like a contraction? You could also possibly already be in the early stages of labor and it's in your back...

Are you still experiencing the pain? If so I would go to labor and delivery and get checked out....

I wouldn't recommend trying to progress labor that early. Baby born that early is much more likely to need help (like oxygen, etc) after birth). Just try to relax, rest, and stay hydrated.
