Preterm labor?!

I had pelvic pain last night like period cramps. I laid down and right before I fell asleep I kept getting contractions, and a pressure that felt like I had to go to the bathroom, well after laying there awhile I ended up falling asleep in pain. I woke up seem fine, and then it started again. I laid down for an hour got back up seem fine, until a few minutes ago, I got extreme pressure in my back side almost like I have to go to the bathroom but I don't... if I try moving off the couch the pressure is unbearable. Should I be worried?! I have not lost my mucus plug or anything like that.... so I didn't think I had to worry but this pressure is crazy! I don't need to go to the bathroom either... so I know it's not that.

I get that way just by laying in bed. I can be fine but five minutes laying down I am in a lot of pain. I wake up and the pain is gone. If I got to the bathroom and get back into bed the pain comes back. I don't think my baby likes me laying down.

I have not lost my mucus plug nor has my water broke so I just deal with the best I can.

Good luck.

To me it sounds like the baby may just be really low. If it is labor it wouldn't go away. I went in to labor at 33.3 wks and had to take meds to postpone it. I was told that if they are not in a pattern or constant then it is only bad BH, and pressure from the baby being low.

Sounds like you need to be seen. If you wanna start with laying on your left side and drinking a pitcher of water you could since you are likely dehydrated, but I would recommend going in

Yeah you need to go in you may have waited too long already. Get there ASAP especially with you history

I called them and they were no help! They said they need to be close together.... :| ugh! This is so irritating!!

Wouldn't close together be too late?!

The pains you have i been having for some time now.. What i do is sleep on my left side because my baby girl dont like me sleeping on my back or right side so everynight i hace to sleep on my left side with pillow or one of my niece pillow pet and the pain goes away if they start again i have my niece give me a massge-sorry not the best speller- and that helps alot

I'm going thru this rite now incantations sit r walk..I feel like everything is going to fall out ..I'm due in March too..I go to see if I need to go to the restroom and sitting there hurts so bad I could cry..the back pain stays it don't go r come just stays.. ugh..idk if I should go in either..if they r closer together yea it could be to late u don't want that

My mother in law said this was how her labor was... the feeling of going to the bathroom and such.... I first called the OB in my hometown but when I talked to my mother in law I decided to call my regular OB and they want me to come in... every one said it sounds like preterm labor.

Feels like my tailbone is being ripped out of my back... it's horrible.

Omg that's how I feel I'm already thinning and open ..and ppl on fb said the same thing..good luck ..

You should go in too! I'm going in now.... I had to wait on my husband to get home.

With your history I would just go in and forget what they say you need to wait for. With previous preterm births they should be asking you to come in at the slightest hint that you may be in labour let alone asking you to wait longer to see if it's real.
