Is It Labor

amanda - February 24

Lately (since my last dr. visit) I have been having all sorts of weird pains and pressure. He did an exam to check for dialation ( I am 1.5 cm and 90% effaced) after that exam I had very bad mesntral cramps that didnt go away, but lasted an hour or so. Now I have va___al pain, well more like my cervix is hurting. Is that a sign of labor? My stomach is always tight so I don't know if it is contracting, I tend to hurt more in my back, but I still can't figure out how to time them, and if it is the real thing. How am I supposed to know what is real and fake and what I should call about? Is the abdominal pain nothing to worry about and am I jsut feeling it dialate? or is it something to be concerned about?

The same thing has been happening to me for two weeks now. I'm not dialated, or effaced at all. I really thought I was going into labor twice. I could even count my contractions, and how long they were.So my doctor told me that I've still got longer to be miserable with no baby coming really soon. I just think all of this is our bodies getting ready for the really tough part of labor and delivery. Good luck in knowing when it's really time. I hope we both know!

I hated when everyone told me this, but you will know when they are real contractions. I agree with Shell, call your Dr or midwife...the worst thing is sitting around wondering and worrying.

"you will know" is c___p! I didn't know. I went to the hospital, because i had felt tiny contractions all day long, i could time them but they didn't hurt at all. Either way i went in because they got closer together and they sent me home because i wasn't dialated (only .5) and they didn't hurt...but two hours later my water broke and i had to go back to the hospital. My contractions still didn't hurt, and i didn't have any seriouse. It started to hurt a little when i got to 3 cm. but then they gave me pitocin and an epidural. but still....i wouldn't have known i was in labor if my water hadn't broken
