Should I go into L&D?

Question

FTM, and have been having bad cramping all last night and started having BH contractions or regular contractions honestly really not sure but they hurt, now my back is on fire and going down to my legs, I tried sleeping drinking water changing positions, taking a warm bath and still having pain. My doctor office isn’t answering. I’m currently 36weeks&6days.

Answer

Call L&D to see what they say. But my doctor always tells me to go with my gut.

Answer

Can you call L&D? See what they recommend? If it were me and had been going on for hours I would probably go to be on the safe side.

Answer

Real contractions will be difficult to talk through and very regular.. can you time them? No hurt in going in and being checked out at this point in pregnancy.

Answer

I’d go

Answer

I think you should go in for monitoring and peace of mind though. Maybe try calling L&D?

Answer

Please go in and get checked....I wasn’t going to but I ended up going in when my contractions wouldn’t go away....I got there to find out I was in preterm labor...... my contractions were 15 mins apart they would group together at 5 mins apart if my uterus was irritated I dilated from a 2 to a 3 within a couple hrs then from 60% effaced to 100% effaced and the babies sac is at the edge of my cervix within a day a week before that I was only a cm dilated....I’ve been in the hospital now 2 weeks and they r thinking of keeping me till 35 weeks since my contractions have stopped with the help of magnesium but I’m still in the NICU stage my original hospital doesn’t take under 35 weeks. Now these contractions weren’t painful I could feel they were there.

Answer

I called up to l&d and they said usually to come in if contractions are 5 mins, but I could still go in if I wanted to get checked out,
