What were your signs of labor?

Question

I’m having SEVERE abdominal tightening and pressure every ten minutes or so that gets worse with walking. It’s not extremely painful but it feels like someone is taking my stomach and squeezing it with both of their hands. Some back pain as well. Could this be labor? I’m 38 weeks on Saturday and have never felt this before.

Answer

Sounds like it to me🙂

Answer

Try drinking half gallon water and Epsom salt bath

Answer

Maybe try taking a warm bath or shower to see if it stops. If not I would call just to be safe

Answer

Call L&D! Or just go in to be safe if the pain is that bad. I had cramps the other day that weren't even that bad, they escalated very quickly and I had my daughter 5 hours later!

Answer

It could be. Had my little girl on Monday, and that’s how it started. Then the pain started a bit later in the very low part of my abdomen. The pain got more and more intense as time went on.
