Contractions

[Ladyj0625]

Ok I'm not sure what is going on but my has started hurting on and off all day. Then I been having bowel movements as well. I just know that it kind of hurt sometime but not really. Then other times it aches. Could this be contractions I'm 35 weeks today.

Thank you. They are not consistent but do come on and off during the day.

Does the pain come in waves? Time them if so, and follow the 5 1 1 rule...5 times the waves come if they last more than 1 minute each over 1 hour, go into L&D. If its not, It could be round ligament pain. That seems to be worse than any round ligament pain you go through earlier in the pregnancy. I am not sure exactly how it feels due to having extra pain from a softball sized fibroid. I get a lot of that feeling constantly and have most of the pregnancy. It of course is worse now that I am further along ( 37+6).  If the bowel movements have been diarrhea, then it could be pre labor. Always feel free to call n talk to your nurses in your Dr's office. They have been my sanity, especially lately. Good luck!!
