This is gonna sound weird but it seems like I have to go to the bathroom, but when I try, nothing... Im gonna try to go back to sleep and see what happenes I guess..

Is it possibly a contraction? I don't remember what they feel like really. I was induced, and then not long after that had an epidural so I only had contractions for a short period. Maybe this is it!!! Good luck

Its been a couple hours and im still getting pains, could it be false labour? I dont know what contractions feel like either lol maybe this is them...
This is gross... But its also accompanied by diareha when I get pains.. I feel slight pain in my back but nothing major...Im gonna try timing them I guess.. Cuz I cant sleep.. And I tryed having a shower.. I got nothing better to do lol

Oh nooo!!!!!! I'm havin the same thing!!!!!! But mine are getting more and more intense. I was gonna put my own topic, but I saw yours!!! Holy caca!!
Mine start in my lower back and then make their way towards my groin...The pain feels like a constant squeezing and escalating pain/pressure.

I tried to lay in different positiions, walk around, and sit straight up and the pain is getting worse. Should I call my .Dr??

you should call your doctor. This is probably early labor. Sadly, early labor can last for a long time. :( I hope that is not the case for you.

Call your doctor and let him know what you are feeling. He may want to check you (mine did) and give you instructions on when to go to the hospital. Good luck!!

Oh good luck to both of you girls!!!
Neeko, I do remember my stomach got real hard with contractions. It's the muscles and uterus contracting. That would be neat if the 2 of you had them the same day! I wish both of you a fast and safe delivery! Keep us posted

Okay ive been timing them and so far they are between 6 and 7 min apart... But if im actually going into labour im thinking they should hurt more than this..Although ive never experienced it before.. It just hurts enoough that when they come I breathe kinda heavy

From what I know they will get more painful the closer you get to delivery. I know once they are 5-6 min apart you need to go to the hospital. Thats what my doc said.

You are getting pretty close! The who knows how long it coul be before it could change. Yes, you should call your Dr. When does your spouse, b/f, significant other ccome over, you might call a friend to come over and talk and help pass time away and to possibly take you to the hosspital when the time comes.
The best to you!

Right after I typed my post we jetted off to .Target to get some last minute things! I caught about 20 contractions while we were there. Now the pain is directly in my lower back, my groin is tight, but not as bad as my back!!

I'm gonna go hop in the shower and attempt to relax my muscles. I've been expelling a lot of mucus like discharge all night last night and all day today.

Last night me and my man had sex and it did get a little rough. I was, last wednesday, 1cm dialated...So hopefully today is the day. I'm taking the contractions pretty well, even though the pain is intense!!

I'm gonna head off to the hospital when I reach the point where I can't talk during one. I'm starting to withdrawl myself during the contraction...So I think it's almost time. My man is soooo nervous and can barely handle himself when I tell him one has started. They last about a minute and come every 3 - 4 minutes.

My belly is supper tight at the top and she looks all twisted and contorted in my belly!! Lol...She hasn't been moving between contractions which I heard is a sign of true labor!

I'll be back after the shower ladies!!

It is better to be safe then sorry! My husband darn near waited until it was too late when I had my son who weighed 10 lbs and 2 ozs and it was too late to give me anything until they were stitching ne up and my dr yelled at my husband for not believing me ssso call your dr and get ready to be on your way, it is reality time and tell your dr or the one on call that your pains are 5 minutes apart.
Good .Luck!

But they are getting worse and definately 5 min apart.. I guess im gonna go soon and see what they have to say.. What will they do when I get there ? How will they know if its time?

Okay so after debating it for a long time I decided to go to the hospital, I am only 2 cm dialated, I could have stayed but I chose to go home cuz I live just down the street... My contractions are extremely worse than when I was at the hospital I dont know how much more of this I can handle it hurts so bad

there is no only when it comes to dilating! Hooray you are 2 cm!! Add that to the labor and you've got yourself a baby coming.

I know it sucks but walking will help. Sitting in a stiff upright chair helps too. Gravity in general is what you need. If the pain gets too bad and you aren't ready to go to the hospital, take a hot shower. That can help a lot!

Good luck.
