I'm almost 39 weeks and I need advice???

Question

Ok, Ive been having lower back pains off and on all day, but now it's like a constant dull lower back pain that wont go away. I'm also having really really bad cramps but they're followed by diarrhea. Is that labour, false labour, or what. I don't know if I should call my dr or not. I hate bugging him. Oh, and I also have a bad headache and neck ache.

Answer 1

You're getting sick..

maybe call your doctor..

for how long have you been like that ?

Answer 2

im not a dr, but it sounds like labor..I only say that because my back hurt the EXACT same way yours does, and I had diarr.  my water never broke..it was a slow leak...so I had NO IDEA, My husband is the one who suggested we go to the emergency room..good thing he did....I was in labor..Good luck, call your dr. He should know whats going on. Im hoping for the best for you!

Answer 3

dont feel bad about callin your doctor call him thats why they get paid obsene amounts of money to deall with this stuff call him and get a real answer!!

Answer 4

that sounds like it could be back labor. ouch. that is exactly what I had when I was in back labor. Call the doctor anyway just to be sure. If it is back labor congratulations on your baby  and I'm sorry because back labor sucks.

Answer 5

You're paying your doctor enough for you to be able to bug him lol. You could be having back labor, and at 39 weeks, I would call him. Good luck!

Answer 6

I am pretty sure that Diarrhea is a sign that labor is coming soon. I would call you doctor just to be safe.

Answer 7

The lower back pain and cramps is how I started into labor.  Mine got painful pretty quickly and it took me forever to completely dilate.  There's no harm in calling your doctor.  I did and they admitted me then, I was about 2 cm.
