okay ladies this is especially for mommies who had preemies but any thoughts are welcome. i have been up and down all night with consistent sometimes painful and sometimes intensly painful pressure and maybe cramps??? down across my lower belly band ( right where my tummy starts to bulge) im a young teen mommy to be and didny go to school today due to these pains and pressure because MIL said it sounded like how her labour started with her first baby and she didnt think we should risk all the walking. we didnt go to the hospital though because my insurance is in the pending process due to my grandmother removing my coverage off her insurance and not telling me in time for them to switch me easily but it is pending for a fact now. i was just wondering what all of you mommies thought i should do i know even if baby is a preemie at this point there is a fairly high survival rate due to new medicine but i still dont want baby to be early. ive had a miserable pregnancy because im small framed and was very athletic before pregnancy so its harder on muscles and ligaments to strech and move and very painful. ive actually had a couple of muscle tears already and all ive gained is bavy weight ( abt 8 pounds) my next ob appointment is oct 3 but if this keeps up should i just go to the er? could this be just really bad girdle pain and BH's? its been happening since about 8 p.m and now its 330 p.m but hasnt let up and if anything has just gotten worse.
