Not sure...

My back and sides hurt...
I'm used to my back hurting but this is a bit different.
And my stomach feels like it's cramping.
So I'm not sure if I should call the after hours number or just wait and see if it goes away.
I just don't want to end up calling and them telling me to go to L&D, just to sit there being monitored for a bit then being sent home (yet again.)

They always say if you can get up change positions or take a bath, and the symptoms go away, not to worry. But if they are getting in the way of your normal activities, and nothing you do makes them go away, I say call.

It seems like if I get up and move around my back starts to hurt a bit more. It's not really getting in the way of anything it's just really uncomfortable. I mean I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, so I'm just trying to figure out if I should wait until tomorrow and just talk to them.
I asked my mom what she thinks and of course all she says is "You're fine, I highly doubt you're going to have that baby now. So wait until your appointment."

So, it sounds like you are having contractions...

But are you feeling pressure - uh.... down there? And in your bowel??

Usually real contractions come with pressure....

Try to take a shower with the warm water on your back where it hurts to see if that helps and lay down and get confortable if you can.

I've had pressure down there for like the past month and it hasn't changed any since I started hurting, like it hasn't gotten any worse or anything like that.

Hmm..a shower might be nice...
Laying down is somewhat out of the question at the moment, it ends up making my side hurt more.

Well then you can set down and have pillows around you to be comfortable.

The pressure I'm talking about is noticeably uncomfortable, and different than the constant pressure that we're used to.....

It feels like my son is going to just pop right on out!!! And, when the contraction is gone, it doesn't feel like that anymore.

I'm going to try.
I'll probably just wait and talk to my doctor about it tomorrow when I go in.

Yeah, I haven't noticed anything like that.

Haha, okay so I definitely haven't had that feeling at all. I think if I did I'd really be freaking out.
