  • How far are you? You should probably call l&d if it is that bad. Good luck.
  • It could be. My whole stomach got hard but I only felt contractions bad on my left side too. Is call ur Dr if they hurt that much and r consistent.
  • Im due wednesday but my stomach isnt tightening when the cramp appears. My left part of back is constAnt achy. I was at l&d last night And they just sent me home.
  • Baby is prolly sitting on a nerve and causing u the pain. Either way if they r timeable and consistent u should go in. And if the pain takes ur breath away I'd at least call ur Dr and ask if u should go in.
  • @kingsmama is right. You can go into labor in the same day your checked uy could be back labor
  • @kingsmama okay. I woke up this morning with the same feeling took a shower and they slowed. Now they are back, hospital is more likely gonna tell me to come in if water breaks or im having regular contractions. Its so confusing how this stuff is, imma ftm so I have no clue. I hate getting hopes up lol
  • Call at least.
  • I was the same way too hun and its ok its a new experience that's different for everyone. There is no rule book saying its going to be the same way for every mom. And trust me the Dr and nurses won't think ur silly for coming in to make sure. It happens all the time and ur better safe than sorry. I worked in a hospital and I know my body really well and said I wasn't going to be that woman who goes to l&d all the time...well I went in 3 different times before being induced. If u have more than 4 of those pains in an hr call ur Dr or go in they could be contractions. If u start bleeding or ur water breaks go in. The lower abdominal pain is prolly from baby sitting on nerves causing u pain. Either way it seems ur body is making the change to become a mommy soon :)
  • My aunt in law I guess u can say is telling me to.take a shower I may try that
  • Ya if its not real labor contractions then the shower will help the pains go away. If they stay then time them cuz it could be real labor :)
  • Yay labor dust hun :p
