You are in labor, you should go to the hospital right away. Good Luck Honey!

Answer 3

It could start today sure... If you want to jump start it, go take a long walk WITH someone of course!!

If you are having cramps you will have a baby in the next72 hours CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 4

Yes, labour already has started. Normally, if there's no bleeding and you feel relatively comfortable, you'd be advised to stay home as long as you can, because you can move freely and eat/drink/watch tv whatever in your own space. But it's evident you are concerned and probably you're nervous and worried, so you might be best to get your overnight bag together and head off to hospital for a checkup. They might still send you home, but at least you'll feel less anxious knowing everything is ok.

Answer 5

as a general rule to labor if you get a big boost of energy you'll end up going in to labor. though you can be in labor for two days before you have your baby. if you keep your self productive you'll have your baby today

Answer 6

Hon, it definitely sounds like you are in the very early stages of labor.  If you are already 2cm dilated there is a possibility that you will give birth in the next 24-72 hours, but only your doc can tell you for sure.  Just keep close watch on the progression, like if you are having back pains or any cramps that seem tighter and closer together you would definitely want start timing them.  Good luck!

Answer 7

If you are bleeding at any point in your pregnancy, you need to go see a doctor, as this can be a sign of a severe complication with your pregnancy.  If you don't have insurance, go to the ER, where they can bill you; it's better to be safe then sorry.

Answer 8

Sounds like labor has already begun. Congrats! Warn the doc you hope to see him later!

Answer 9

contractions feel awful,  it sounds like you might be going into labor.  Contractions are tight and you can feel pressure with them, so if they are coming and going, go to the hospital if they are like 10 minutes apart, you want to get that epideral before its to late.

Answer 10

yeah, sounds like it may have.  I went into labor a week early with my first one.  The contractions felt like a tightening.  I wrote down the time of each one and about how long it lasted.  After 2 hours of getting them 3-4 min apart, I went to the hospital.  They sent me home (I wasnt dialated at all), but at least i knew I was in labor (I went back later that day and was admitted).  

Answer 11

Honey, labor has started. Go to the phone, call your doctor. Immediately.

Answer 12

Maybe.  I had 3 pregnancies-a preemie(c-section), 1 week overdue, and my last I went into labor on my due date.  My water never broke early on any of them.  

Is this your first baby?  If it is I know you don't have any reference to go by.

What happened with my second and third is when I started to have contractions (tummy getting tight all over) was my first sign.  At this point they did not hurt.  I started walking and walking, just outside around the block.  Make sure you are not alone.  Doing this, I believe, kept my contractions from stopping.  Keep track of the time in between.  As they get more frequent and maybe stronger, call your doctor.  My second the contractions started @ 8:00 p.m. and he was not delivered until 2:00 p.m. the next day.  I went to the hospital @ 2:00 a.m.  I also lost my mucous plug with a little blood around midnight.  He was 8 lbs.  My last was the easiest-my little girl.  I had been in the office that morning and sent home.  I started contractions about 6 p.m. walked off and on until about 10 p.m.  Called the doc--who said, "I don't think your having it, but come in if you want."  I  checked in @ 11:00 p.m. and she was born at 6:00 a.m. with me saying, "I told you so!"  He also said she would be 6-7 lbs. I thought she was bigger and she weighed 9 lbs!  So they don't always know, but you will!  Its your body and baby--listen to it.  It never hurts to go to the hospital and get checked out--even if they send you home again.  I hope this gives you some insight, but don't get discouraged--they all come out eventually!  Good luck and God bless you and your baby.  

P.S. Get an epidural--you will be a lot more comfortable.

Answer 13

Hi, sounds like it already has. Ring your local maternity hospital and they will give you good advice especially if this is your first. Enjoy your beautiful baby.

Answer 14

it sounds like labor has already started. Good Luck and let us know if you have that baby...

Answer 15

Sounds like you are starting labor. Relax and time contractions and see how they are. The diarrhea is probably your body naturally cleaning itself out and making more room for the baby to get it. Congrats.  

Answer 16

Everything you described are all signs of labor. You in labor sweety! It's probably too early for you to go to the hospital, but you should still phone your doctor and let him/her know what's going on. If you're having contractions, you should also start timing them.

Answer 17

You are having back labor....  I would call my MD and see if they want you to go to the hospital.  Back Labor feels like a bad back ache.  Good Luck!
