Early Labor
Posted: 08-11-07 12:24pm

well last night around 6 i started to get really bad cramps in my back and lower stomach. The pain just shot up to the top of my belly. so i thought hmnm this could be false labor but i was due on aug 7th. so i decided to go for a small walk. well after walking 5 mins the pain was horrible. i felt my stomach was hard as hell and the shooting pain in my back and legs was wow.... so i came right home and laid down for 2 hrs and the contractions were like 10 mins to 15mins then 5 mins... so i called the hospital and they told me to come in. i am in early labor they said and 1 cm dialated. So they sent me home and i now only have sharp pains in my back, in my legs and a bit cramping. so walking i go. so hopefully my baby comes soon!

If you have an exercise ball, sit on it while rolling your hips around. Or you can stand, leaning against a wall, doing the same thing. This will encourage your baby to come down. Gravity is your friend right now. I know it doesn't seem like it though.

Make sure you have warm water for a shower or a bath. Sometimes that helps with the pain of contractions.

Good luck!!!!!!!!
