Should I go to the hospital?

tessa2023

I just went to the dr on Monday (2 days ago) they hooked me up to the monitor and it showed I was have contractions. However my exam showed I was still just dilated one and still pretty thick. I am 34 weeks and 4 days today, last night I woke up with horrible stomach pain but the contractions were not constant just kinda hit and miss they have still been coming almost 9 hours later but still not consistency. I have also started having sharp pains in my back along with diahria. My stomach just constantly hurts kinda like when you have a stomach bug or something and I have not appetite. Should I go to the hospital could this be early signs of labor? This is my first pregnancy so this is all new to me.

If the contractions are not consistent then I would not necessarily run to L&D.  It sounds like you might have the stomach bug or you could potentially be in labor.  Try drinking lots of fluids and call your OB to discuss your symptoms with them.

Rest, drink lots of water, and call your OB. Definitely.
