Early labor or false labor?

Question

First time mom here. 38w1d! Had sex with my husband last night after he returned from being underway for a month. Woke up through out the night with crazy menstrual type cramping. It radiated through my back, inner thighs and got so bad I was neasous. These cramps came in waves too. They got better around 3pm today. But I feel exhausted and like it's not over. Could this persist for days? Should I go in to L&D if it doesn't lighten up?

Answer

Call your obgyn or midwife and ask when you should come in. I had something very similar happen after having sec when I was pregnant with my second and went into labor that morning

Answer

I had this for about 6 weeks before I gave birth. It was awful look up prodromal labor. I was slowly dilating over the 6 weeks though so it was productive contractions. If they dont stop it's true labor. Mine would go all night then stop like clock work every morning a few hours before I had to wake up. If they get stronger and more painful definitely call in!

Answer
