Is it a sign? - Labor coming?

Let me start with I hope not! Im only 36 weeks, and hope she stays in a little longer

All night I had menstrual cramps - honestly I have been having them on and off all week.

Plus, felt IMMENSE pressure / pain 'down there' everytime I got up or sat down. This pain thanfully went away this morning. Also, I have been increasingly uncomfortable and couldn't even sleep on a side with unbelievable hip pain. Only when I put a pillow under my butt and slept on my back was I able to get some

Also, just now, I got VERY nausious, not sure why. Haven't had that since first trimester.

Did anyone have those sympotms before labor started? am i worried for no reason???


Thanks!!!

I would call your doctor! Good Luck

I hope not. I was having back pain and menstrual cramps last week. They monitored me and no contractions. Definitely call your dr. though.

Re: Is it a sign? - Labor coming?

I've been feeling the same, even have bouts of nausea, but nothing has panned out from it. I was having some contractions last week too, but nothing consistant. Doc told me it was all normal. But call, put your mind at ease and you don't want to chance anything this late in the game!! Feel Better!!

thanks everyone for your replies!

I think it was just one of those nights! I feel all better now.

The nausia was due to not eating. I guess beacause of light savings - 12:30 was too long to wait for lunch. As soon as I ate, I felt better.

Re: Is it a sign? - Labor coming?

Make sure you mention it to your doctor anyway because I was having pressure that they said was normal and menstrual cramps and it turned out that I was starting to go into preterm labor(at 29 weeks). It never hurts to mention it so they can check you out.
