I've been so scared through this pregnancy that I won't know what contractions feel like. Now I'm laying here n I'm having pains that last about a minute every seven or eight. The are tolerable but feel like an extreme amount of menstrual cramps. The hospital is 45 minutes away so I don't want to go in if its not it. My doctor told me yesterday she was low but my cervix was hard. Any ideas what's going on?

    I do feel it in my back . My stomach clenches then I have a dull pain that spreads front to back gets worse then tapers down. I feel it in my butt and legs too? I'm 38+4 weeks

    I'd definitely call your ob since you're that far along. Sounds like the start of labor :) mine started off feeling like bad period cramps and low dull back pains at first too.

    So even though my cervix was hard and I wasn't dilated much I could still be in labor? Sorry people just out so much emphasis on there dilation and effacement to determined when they are in labor. Thanks though girls!

    Oh yeah. There are people who go from like a 1cm and hard to a 5cm and soft and thin in like 24hours. Just depends on the person and their body :)

    Well looks like I gotta start cleaning and see if it stops. I really hope this is it I'm so eager to meet my little girl.
