Hi,
im 17 yrs old and nearly 30wks preg and I get the worst stomache cramps like period pain and it goes all down my leg just like I used to get with my period...
Is this normal?
I also had morning sickness the first 15 wks and since then it went away but now it seems to be coming back... I get really nauseous but im not sick as much as I was before.

What would happen if I had my baby now? Would it live? Im so scared

Hey dont worry too much

i get really painful braxton hicks and unless there 5 minutes apart ,getting stronger or ur water broke ur not considered in labor and they send you home. As for shooting pain from back down legs thats you lil one putting pressure on a nerve in your back (sciatic ithink its spelled) and its not comfortable.

The chance of survival for a 30 week baby is 90% at 28 weeks its 80-90%.....................My mom had my sister at 31wks, my sister is now 11 and almost taller than me shes (5'2) extremely happy and a bright kid!!!
