I'm glad I went to the er after work I just knew something was wrong. I was contracting every 3 minutes so the had to give me a shot to stop contractions. So FYI mommies go with ur heart if u feel like something is wrong it probably is.
I had contractions and abdominal pain and lower back pain from about 26w on. I was put in the hospital twice... once around 26w for a kidney infection and at 31w for pre-term labor. Long story short they admitted me at 31w and put on bedrest in the hospital for 4 days than sent home on it till 36w. They gave me steroid shots for his lungs and magnesium to stop my labor... It worked. I was induced March 3rd at 39w and had my chunky 8lb 15oz man on march 4th. Good luck mama!
It's not uncommon. ... especially if the baby is huge. ... Did you ring your midwife or nurse or doc?
