40 weeks(today!!!) with strong period like cramps?

Question

now...I have had period like cramps before during my pregnancy but NOTHING like this!!! and this doesnt seem to go away!! It hurts the most when I walk....and I have tried everything to make it go away!!! I dont have any other signs of labor...as far as my water breaking or bleeding and no discharge or anything like that. The last time I went to the doctor he said I wasnt dilated but a fingertip(that was last monday)

what should I do??

Answer 1

Call you doctor ... now  ... and let them tell you what to do.  That is what they are there for.

You might be in labor, probably are.  Next time you get a pain, feel you tummy.  Does it get hard, like balled up hard?  If so, it's labor.  (that's how I found out I was in labor)

Answer 2

you should go to the hospital and get checked if you are in real labor you dont want to wait too long or you might end up delivering at home! if it ends up being false then thats ok to at least you will know for sure congrats on the little one  

Answer 3

dont worry that the baby or yourself is in danger, this is perfectly normal, try to stop worrying about it, it just makes you stressed out.

i know yr waters havent broken, but they will soon, this is just the start of  your labour pains before the actually baby starts.

congratulations on your baby and good luck x*x

Answer 4

well my lady it sounds like you are in the early stages of labor, this could last for days so i would take some paracetamol go for a walk this will help take your mind of it, or you could do those last minuet chores that need done, don't just sit there stay active. if the pain is still bothering you have a warm bath and read a book magazine.

just remember if the pain gets worse or you start to feel strong contractions or your waters break or you have a bleed contact your midwifes.

good luck and hopefully it wont be to long and you have a quick and simple labor  and enjoy you baby x

Answer 5

These are normal signs of your body beginning to prepare for birth. Increase the amount of protein you are eating and the amount of water you are drinking now, this will help to decrease pain. It is normal for your baby to have slower movements as your baby drops there is less room to move about. Here are some things you can do while you are waiting for baby:

Always call the hospital first to receive their instructions before you go in so that you are not sent home again disappointed. Keep your health team alerted to any changes in your health during pregnancy.

Answer 6

Sounds like you are starting to have labor, it may or may not be active yet.  Keep walking even if it hurts, and time the peaks!  Your water will not always break!  If the pain gets to unbearable call your doctor they will tell you to go in or not.  Better safe then sorry right! Congratulations and Good luck!

Edit:

Try drink a glass of juice, sugary drink then lay back down see if the baby moves then.  If you do not get the 5 movements in an hour..repeat the movement test.  If in 2 hours you have not been kicked 5 times in 1 of the hours call the doctor!
