Help!!! Does anyone else around this date feel the same things?

Question

My contractions are about six min apart and there is major back pain but the contractions are very irregular they range from 6 to 10 min apart and they are painful but i dont want to be sent home if i go to the hospital should i be worried or no? I am 39w and 6d pregnant

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Go to the hospital! It sounds like labor. My mom never had regular contractions and she even called the doctor and they told her not to worry about it. She ended up not listening and went to the hospital. Two hours later she had a baby boy. Good Luck !

Answer 3

You should call your doctor immediately.  It sounds like you'll be holding your little one very soon.  Good luck and congratulations!

Answer 4

if they are irregular i wouldn't go to the hospital because one of two things will happen, either they'll just send you home and you'll be aggravated that you went OR they WON'T send you home but the clock will start ticking. most hospitals have a 12 hour time limit on labor and once you have been there for 12 hours they start with the invasive procedures (vacuum extractor, foreceps or c-section)

thanks for the thumbs down people!  

my doctor doesn't want me to come to the hospital until my contractions are 4-5 minutes apart  at regular intervals and lasting 60 seconds or longer. of course many doctors are very pro unnecessary intervention and have conditioned their patients to expect to come in too early and be invasively intervened.

Answer 5

Sounds like labor to me! My labor was always in my back. I would go to the hospital.....so what if they send you home.
