Early labor and bad nausea?

Question

I’m pregnant with my second and due November 9th (37 weeks today). Early this morning I had strong contractions 5-8 minutes apart for 2 hrs. I really thought I was in labor. They stopped but I’ve been super crampy all day. I’ve cleaned and cleaned and cleaned my house today. Got supper in the oven and sat down. Now I’m have frequent contractions again every 5 minutes and I’m SO nauseous I could easily vomit. I never had this with my son so it’s all new. Totally normal right? Could I be in labor?

Answer

When I was actually in labor with my first, I called the doctor and they told me to relax for a bit as the contractions can subside. You might have just over done it. Relax for a bit and if they don’t go away, then I would call the doctor and maybe go in. Good luck!

Answer

I would call L&D to ask. I've heard that when you're close, you may feel nauseated because your body is working hard to get ready for labour or you're in early labour.

Answer

You never know. I’ve had false labor with my second and now again with my third. I almost went to L&D last night because I was having pretty intense and painful contractions that were only 4 minutes apart. I drank a ton of water and laid down for a bit and they subsided. I was super active the day before and yesterday so I attributing those contractions to my activity. It’s always a good idea to inform your doctor if you’re having bouts of contractions like that. Sometimes they could been the real thing and sometimes they’re not. Good luck, hon!
