i'm 39 weeks and have had contractions on and off for a week and a half, i'm 2cm dilated, cervix soft, losing mucous plug, and my doctor says I can go at anytime! she says to time any kind of contraction but i'm confused on what exactly my contractions are because I have so many different pains and all. My stomach pretty much stays hard but it does tighten more sometimes, sometimes i have what feels like menstrual cramps, then other times it feels like bad gas pain without the gas but i have them so random and so often i don't know whats what?! Has anyone felt this before? did your labor start like this? my doctor says these "pains" are contractions but they just don't seem right at all, i'm totally confused!? I think i'm just gonna wait till i know for sure that i'm contracting regular or in a pattern. But did any of you start labor like this? or know someone who has?
