After taking a walk around the mall....

Shortly after I got home from about 2hrs of walking around the mall I got really crampy....I got home around 4hrs ago and it has yet to let up...I've taken a bath, done the whole left side thing and even hubby massaged my back and legs, but it seriously feels like I'm going to start my period any minute now. I get some contractions in between the pain,but nothing close enough for me to time. Now my back is just killing me and the cramp radiates down my thigh's and mostly my left leg is hurting too....could I have started something you think? It also feel's like I was punched over and over again in the vag...ugh, I just can't get comfortable and I want to cry because it won't go away...is this just another annoying symptom of the end of pregnancy?!?

sounds like labor to me!!!

my contractions started as "period cramps" too. good luck!

My contractions WERE the period like cramps. Can you time them? You may be experiencing back labor.

I really hope so...it won't let up for anything...I haven't lost my plug or anything yet and I'm waiting on that...I'm just so miserable! UgH

I had horrible back labor to the point where I couldn't sit or lay down. I got on bg and typed a plea for help asking if it was labor standing at my computer desk. I wasn't sure if my cramps were contractions but the back pain was god awful.

don't always count on losing your plug or noticing that you're losing it. I never noticed mine or had a "bloody show" that i noticed.

Ahh okay, thats good to know. My doctor looked at the baby today to take fluid levels and said that LO was reallllyyyy low, so I thought maybe I just made her go lower while walking, but after 4hrs I'm thinking something would let up...I don't want to call L&D yet until I'm in real pain or at least try and sleep...I just have that feeling of ughhh I think I started something...lol

Id go ahead and time the period cramps to see if theyre regular or getting closer together. And drink plenty of water so you make sure youre not dehydrated and can rule that out.

Doing that now...I just had one "period cramp" that got really bad and radiated up my back...So I'm going to look out for those...

If you have a cramp that takes your breath away or you can't even speak through, head to L&D!

aw labor! Good luck mama  ! I'm still early, but jealous all at once. You may have started something! Keep me posted if you can!

BLEH! Ended up being nothing but some hard cramping....still have it today, but less and my discharge has increased a lot so doctor just said keep moving if you like...so that's what I'm doing...this girl is stubborn lol
