Question

this is my first so i dont no what to expect, i have been getting really bad period pains in my stomach and a very strong pushind down feeling in my pelvis. also been getting lower back ach and in my legs could i be in early labour

Answer 1

call your doc...if nothing else, go to the hospital and get checked out...

Answer 2

its possible. please call your doc/midwife right now or go to L&D or even the ER to be checked out. it might be prodromal labor but I wouldn't mess around  

Answer 3

That could be but it also maybe the normal end of pregnancy pains. I would suggest taking a warm bath and if the pains stop or ease then it is not labor.

If the pains continue call the doctor!  

Answer 4

It sounds like your baby might be dropping.

But, to see if you are in labor, time the pains you are getting. To time them, start from the beginning of the first contraction to the beginning of the next one. If you find they are coming 3-5 minutes apart, you should go to the hospital and get hooked up to the fetal monitor to see what is going on.

Congratulations!

Answer 5

Hmmm...sounds like early labor to me. Have you called the nurse/doctor/midwife yet to ask? When you move around, does the pain alleviate...or get worse? If it gets worse, it may be time to take a trip to the hospital, and let them monitor you, sugar!

Keep us posted!

Answer 6

sounds like labor to me....you should call your doctor/midwife to see if you can get in to get checked....you should try timingyou period like cramps which are most likely contractions...if you feel like your in early labor and you cant get an appt today go to the hhospitaland have them do an internal to see if you are dilatedat all....with the pressure you feel on your pelvis is the baby pushing ddon'tand that will make you dialate as well

Answer 7

Sounds like contractions. Are you timing them? How far apart are they.

I am 36 weeks pregnant and my doctor advised me if I have 4 or more contractions in one hour then I need to go to the hospital.

I would contact your OB just to be safe, best wishes!

Answer 8

it does sound like pre-labor signs...but feel your stomach next time you get pains. contractions will harden your uterus, and usually they are felt all over the uterus. if they are contractions and they are regular or getting closer together call your doctor or labor and delivery.

congratulations, you're almost there!

Answer 9

you could be,I suggest you make a visit to your obgyn or to labor and delivery and get checked out,It better to be safe than sorry.Good Luck and Congrats.
