Last night my back was killing me n i had period like pains til i took tylenol n finally got sum sleep ive been very active today but i cant remember feeling the baby move much. Could that be labor starting??? I dont know if this matter much n im sure its TMI but we had sex last night n when we changed positions it felt like he was hitting something inside of me n it really hurt almost like sumthing was ripping a lil each time he tried so we stopped. I dont know whether i should call my doc or to wait until fridays app.... ↓

hmmmm- strong pains that close to your due date sound like it could be the onset of labor.
THis is a gross suggestion but one of my friends (yeah--she was REALLY open about her preg!!) got her BF to feel her cervix --in fact I think she even did it herself if you really want to know!
I would def. suggest sex though--my hubby broke my water with both daughters during sex but both times I was already 2-4 cm dilated.
Thats all I can suggest. Wouldn't worry about calling your Dr. though until you start feeling contractions or your water breaks!
Good luck! ↑

yes, def could be labor! Don't call your doc though, they'll just tell you to wait until contractions get 5 min apart or until your water breaks. Make sure your baby is still moving though! Drink oj if you have too. ↑

thanks everyone! If i go to the doc n im close to labor do they still send u home? First timer so i have no idea what happens ↑

prob. but i lucked out. Thought my water was leaking and went to hosp after talking to doctor about it to check me out. While I was there, went into full blown labor, right to two min apart contractions. Never had the 10 then 5 min apart! Had my son within 5 hours! ↑

here in Canada--they will send you home unless there are any concerns until your labor starts to intensify.
Here they even sent me home for more than 24 hours after being checked and them discovering that my water was infact broken--not sure who's logic that was??!!....
and considering you're not at your due date yet they wont want to induce you with meds (pitocin)
I know it HARD HARD to be patient but goolge for methods (ie natural like black cohash) to occupy yourself!! ↑
