please help!!

My husband and I were walking around the mall for a couple hours and I started having contractions. Not too painful but my whole belly was getting really hard and my back was killing me!! Got home and they are still continuing, they are around 7ish minutes apart. But they don't hurt very bad just my stomach gets super rock hard and I have some pain. But I also have a lot of pressure in my bum like I have to poop but i don't. Is this something I should go in for? I'm 37 weeks. Ftm

Sounds like labour. The rectal pressure plus back and ab pain and frequency is all a good indicator. Usually there's a 5-1-1 rule to go in and be admitted. Sounds like your doc already updated you though. Good luck!

I called my doctor before going in and She told me to wait till They were about 5 minutes apart to go. But everyone's different and doctors are too So either way you should call to let your doctor know what's happening!

It Is verrrrry possible your in labor. But They won't admit You until The contractions are closer together. If you want to go in to check Then do So, Or Just call Ur doc and see What They say. When I was in labor with my first It started off not strong and about ten minutes apart. But I was playing a game on Xbox and my bf noticed I started messing up due to The contractions and He realized It was The Real deal before I did. Once They started coming every 5 minutes We went to The hospital and The next day came baby. Good luck to You guys!
