Labor?

Question

Feeling stupid over here but I'm thinking maybe early labor? With my 1st baby my water broke and with my 2nd I was having back labor when I checked in to be induced. I woke up at 4am with lower abdominal pain. It's like intense period cramps but kind of a constant then worse every 5-8mins. I tried a shower to see if it would help and it's only gotten worse. I'm an hour from the hospital now and hate to drive all the way up there just to be sent home. Baby isn't moving as much and is much lower. Thoughts, suggestions, insite?

Answer

If is not too late, call your doctor and go to the hospital!

Answer

I would call your midwife or doctor and see what they think about it. They will tell you if they think you should go in or not.

Answer

I had a placental abruption and baby passed before we made it to the hospital. They broke my water at 12:11pm and he was born sleeping at 2:17pm.

Answer

You should time them and once they are a little closer together like 5 min apart you should be out the door. 3 min apart of when they usually admit you. It would be a bummer if you drive all the way out there and they made you go home. 
There's contraction timer app you can download.

Answer

You could always wait an hour and see where you are at then. You could try the laying down resting and drinking a lot of water also.
