Yes, you could be in preterm labor. So I'd head to Labor and Delievery! They will try and stop it which will relieve the pain. They will probably give you a shot that burns like crazy and makes you jittery. You can have that up to three times. You'll also get a steroid shot to help mature babies lungs. If the shot don't work, they may give you Procardia. If that doesn't work, you will then be on magnesium for 24 hours and get the second steroid shot in. If that doesn't work and you're dilating, you'll have baby and baby will be in nursery for a few weeks. Don't wait too long, baby needs to cook longer!

You're having contractions then. That's why I am currently laying in a hospital bed. I am in preterm labor. I'd head to Labor and Delievery right away! I had pain in my back and it put me to tears along with my belly tightening and lots of pressure in my booty. I'm 33 weeks and 3 days.

Mild cramping is normal, pressure is normal too, most likely because baby is lover in your pelvic area
