Pain

tryinghard19

My tummy keeps getting mildly firm. On and off. It doesn't really hurt in the front. But my lower back gets a sharp pain when it happens. The pains come and go about every 10 or so minutes. Not sure what to think about all this. I have about 8 days until my DD. I was 50% effaced on Saturday and not dilated. Did a lot of walking last night on the eliptical, but idk if that has anything to do with it. Advice ladies?

It's getting a little harder to breath. Like, I feel like my heart rate is increasing. @steph_due_101611

@bexiewexie it only hurts in my back. and the midwife told me to call if it is like 5 minutes apart. it seems to increased in frequency. not very long though. my chest kinda hurts too. stupid pains.

i will keep you all updated. they told me don't go in until it hurts so bad I can't breath or talk though it. so i am just nervous that if i call they will ask if i can breath. i say yes and they tell me not to come in.

Sounds like it could be time. Just keep timing it and when it gets to 5 min apart your food to go..And if at any point it's not at 5 min but u feel like this is it just give them call again explain. Only because sometimes once u get there and tell them it's not 5 minutes apart they just tell u to go home I would hate for u to go through that trouble with all this pain.

this may sound weird, but im over being pregnant right now. how can i make these contractions hurt and get stronger ladies?

tryinghard19

@bexiewexie i told dh that after he finishes his homework im borrowing him, cuz the pain is slowing down but it still hurts. so i very over this. lol

jules

Do whatever u can but personally I wouldn't recommend staying up to late sounds like this baby was too come out soon so I would rest up trust me ... Hope it either gets strong enough to go in. Or little better so u can rest. And get moving as soon as your up in the morning. Keep posted!

Get sleep while you can. Never know if labor is going to be a long one so you want to be ready and well rested :-)

Update @tryinghatd19

tryinghard19

@jodi102011 still pregnant. Went to midwife today. All they did was measure me. She didn't care about the pain or contractions. Didn't check my cervix at all. So i have no idea if this baby ever plans on showing up
