AM I IN LABOR? EMERGENCY? DR NOT ANSWERING

[motherjenn3]

I AM 36 WEEKS PREGNANT WITH MY THIRD CHILD. I HAVE HAD LOWER ABDOMINAL CRAMPING, PELVIC PRESSURE, FEELING LIKE I HAVE TO POOP BUT NOTHING HAPPENS, AND BAD BACK PAIN ALL DAY. AM I IN LABOR OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE? MY DOCTOR'S OFFICE IS CLOSED AND THEY DO NOT HAVE AN EMERGENCY LINE. I DO NOT WANT TO GO INTO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR THEM TO JUST SEND ME HOME. PLEASE ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL! THANK YOU.

That *****, well try walking up and down the steps and do some squats.

[motherjenn3]

no hills close by. :-(

[Otero0409]

Try walking up hills, that seems to help me dilate.

[motherjenn3]

they told me to go home because I was only 2cm and 50% effaced. If I can get to 4cm they will keep me and they will help the labor along. They want me to walk and stuff to help it along though because I'm already dilating. any suggestions on what I can do to help make progress?

^ so true you Dont want to end up having your baby at home..

[sanja25]

So
You dont wanna go to the hospital because you dont wanna be sent home
What if you are in labore,like the active one,than yoi dilate and you are at home? Than what?
You dont wanna go? Call you ob right now
But dont pretend that its nothing
Be honest with him

Try to relax take a warm bath and lay down make that will help you and about baby being born at 36 week he will be ok. My first was born at 35 and he was healthy and weight 6lbs 14oz. He had no issues at all. Good luck girl

[motherjenn3]

but they're not intense or anything.. I have high pain tolerance..so idk if I'm dilating. I don't want to go back there for them to just send me home again...

You Need To Go Asap To The Hospital If Your Contractions Are 3-4 Mins Apart Good Luck

[pregwith5th786]

At 36 weeks baby would b considered premature. But I think he\she should b fine. I had my both boys at 35 weeks they were perfectly healthy. Got sent home next day.

[motherjenn3]

my doctor was talking about inducing me at my 35 week appointment so if I go into labor they won't stop the labor. I am 36 weeks. Does anybody know the risks of having a baby at 36 weeks??? I don't want something to be wrong with my little boy.

[motherjenn3]

they kept going all night. I got sent home because I was only 2cm dilated. I am still contracting every 3-4 minutes but now they're lasting up to 45 seconds.

Ur in labour

[sanja25]

Go to the l&d now

[Septembermommy09]

Go to labor and delivery

[MrsLozano_13]

Did you end up going? Update please!

[motherjenn3]

the cramping is 3-4 minutes apart lasting about 25-30 seconds.

[sanja25]

If you have a feeling that something is wrong you should deff go and get checked

[motherjenn3]

I just feel like something is wrong but I don't wanna go to the er to just be sent home if it is nothing...

[jenniferbradford2015]

I had those symptoms one time and my doctor wouldn't return my calls either so I went to the e.r and found out I had a kidney infection but they were extremely glad I came in since I was having those symptoms especially the pressure!!! This is my 3 rd also btw. In all honesty I would go just to be sure. If you aren't in labor then there could be another cause for it (like a kidney infection) and they could help you out with the pain and discomfort.

[sanja25]

Call l&d if your doctor is not answering
Or just go in to get checked

Start timing. And call l&d
