Is this the sign of labor or am i stressing myself out?

Question

I am 37 weeks and 5 days and the last couple of days i have been running to the restroom alot. If i get a sharp pain in my tummy then i have to go right then and there does this mean that i am going to go in to labor or start? I have really bad cramps in my back and stomach and i get up and walk and they go away but not always. The doctor told me if i have them then walk but it always does work is there anything else i can do. I also have cramps the feel like im ganna start my period.

Answer 1

those are the same cramps i had but im still pregnant :( hopefully not for much longer though since im 39 weeks! those are signs of labor but it could just be your body getting ready......it doesnt necessarily mean that your in labor. Goodluck!

Answer 2

It sounds like labors not too far away. Do what the doctor suggested and drink plenty of water/gatorade. Good luck :)
