CONCERN!!!!!!!!!!

[Caddy1992]

I'm currently 35weeks and some odd days from around 30 weeks i have been having BHC which are kinda bad but lately they are more serious and the other day when i went to the bathroom 'pee' i went but after i felt like i stopped kept going for about 30 seconds after i was a little freaked out but i didn't think anything of it
lately my cramps are more serious and feel really low down and it feels as if im getting pinched on the inside on my crotch i was just wondering could i been dilating and not know it
also for about a week now when i sit it feels as if my legs are losing circulation and it makes it nearly impossible for me to sit still because of the pain does anyone know whats causing this
my discharge isn't as thick but almost watery sorry for TMI but i just really want to know
anything would be nice to here right now
i have a doctors appointment on the 28th of this month should i wait to see if im dilating this is my first pregnancy and im 17 and a little worried

Just take it easy and relax.  I know it's hard to do.  But atleast baby was fine.  Once you relax awhile the contractions may slow down.  But like the above poster said, you are only 2 weeks away from being considred full term so even if baby were to come in the next few days, so baby has an excellant chance of not having any major problems.  Good luck.  Keep us posted on how things are going.

I hope they don't get worse and baby stays in a few more weeks! But if he doesn't you're 35 weeks and that's not that early to deliver. Keep us updated!

If the baby dropped then he is creating more pressure on the nerves in your lower half.  That explains the pain your feel in your legs when sitting.  The BHC are normal so long as they aren't coming in a pattern or too close together.  You could very well be dialating right now but that does not necessarily mean you are going into labor soon.  I've known women who were up to 3 cm as early as 31 weeks and then had to be induced or went on their own closer to their due date.  I agree with everything Ashelen said as well.  BUT if you are concerned it's always best to call your doc.  When was the last time you had a check up and when are you scheduled again?  If it's in the next few days it can wait until then, if not give him/her a call and express your concerns.  Are you still feeling baby move?  It's important to stay in tune to baby's movements, a sudden decrease can signal something is wrong and you need to call right away.  What you have described, as Ashelen said, sounds normal for your stage of pregnancy.  Especially since you are young.  But as I said before, anytime you are concerned, call you doc...that is what they are there for.

I would call the doctor if I were you.

that sounds like right on target for 35wks to me! all the pressure and the pinching is probably due to his head being almost engaged with your cervix. the feeling you described during urination is not that out of the ordinary and most likely was just the baby pushing on your bladder and squeezing some more out. when you feel the pinching in your cervix or tingling, try and put your feet up and lean back to take the majority of your sitting weight off of your cervical area, and try walking a short distance when the pressure gets uncomfortable.... it helps realign the baby in your pelvis and can help with blood circulation and discomfort.

even having said that, i still would recommend that you call your OB and ask these questions...they may want to bring you in and check you. very often women under 18 or 19 don't go fully to 40 weeks and tend to deliver closer to 37 so your baby may be getting ready in the next few weeks and they'll want to check...so give 'em a call and see what they say :)
