Q: Somone Please Help Me????

I wrote in labor and delivery also but so far nothing I really need help I am worried.

I am only 32weeks and I have been having this tighting in my stomach that comes and goes. It has been happing 20-30min apart. Here are my symptoms.

A) lower backache
cramping like I am on my period
diarrhea
and nauseated
dizzy
yesterday it was 45-30min apart. Then a brake that I didnt have anything for 1hr

this is just some other stuff that has been going on to. This morning when I woke up about 6:30 my left leg was cramping really bad and then about 8 something I woke up with the other leg I had them propped up on a pillow and one in between them.

And is it normal to already have the baby drop some and then be a fingerer tip dilated? When I went to the Dr. Last monday the 8th he said I was a fingerer tip dilated. He said that if anything un normal happened to call him and not to worry about it but I do I have already went in two times before when I was 18wks and then 21wks.

I just feel so sick for some reason

You know what who cares if you go in again or how many times you have gone in. He gets paid good money to take care of you and not to mention this is his job. So don't feel bad. If you feel there is something up then by all means call him and tell him your symptoms.
Now braxton hicks makes your tummy tighten and yes it can be painful. In my first pregnacy I was 7 1/2 months along and had them every 15 min. And I was walking thru target at that time. They were so painful, they were making me nauseated and start to sweat that my hubby took me in to the er and they hooked me up to monitors and checked me. They were braxtons and I wasn't even dialted, my daughter came one wk late lol. But you are dialated and that would make me scared too with having those symptoms and your doctor said to call if anything came up and I would hon.
I hope everything works out.

When the contraction are less 5 min apart or less you are in true labor. If there is no stopping between them you are in true labor--and just so you know a lot of women take 2 days of labor be4 baby actually comes. If water breaks go to hospital, if you see bleeding go to hospital. Usually a woman is dilated to 2 or 3 cm before true labor starts. That means you would have had some labor to open that much--it is just not that productive yet.
Fingertip is less than 1 cm dilated.
I asked before have you seen the mucus plug yet?? It is a slimy mucousy blob, maybe a little blood tinged. Usually comes out within 2 weeks of delivery. Mine came out early. My daughter was born on dec 1, and I lost her mucus plug end of august!!

No I have not seen a plug. My contractions are getting stronger. My question is this if there was something wrong first would it hurt when I peed or would she still be moving around at all?

I had contrations this morning but they stoped about 11 something then they have started again.

Are they regular contractions, like are they so many minutes far apart and getting closer?

Contractions

My contractions are fairly regular when they occur. I went most of the day without any pain but the past hour or two they have been every 25-30 minutes. What is bothering me is that they are very strong.
