Is this pre-labor?

starchildsiesie

So I was wondering if this is pre labor and how long it might last? The signs are :
Lots of white discharge
Tummy bug feelings( cramps / uncomfy-ness)
Back pain
Loss of appetite
And practically living in the potty

How far along are you?

When in doubt, call your doctor. They all have different criteria for when they want you to call.

However, in my labor & delivery class last night, they suggested laying down, drinking a glass of water, and using the restroom, as being overly tired, dehydrated, or having a full bladder can cause you to feel crummy. Conveniently, you can do all of those things and dial a phone at the same time!

Sounds to me like you are in third trimester. Are you having contractions?

Sounds like third trimester. Of course as PP suggested call the doctor if you are concerned.

I had the same thing.  All day yesterday I had strong Braxton Hicks every 15 minutes and was super sweaty and uncomfortable.  I hydrated, took a bath etc and when it still hadn't let up by night time I called the triage nurse to ask if I needed to come in and be checked in case I needed the "stop labor" drugs. She said that (gulp!) at 35 weeks they wouldn't plan on stopping me so I could hang out at home and wait to see if the contractions got strong enough to warrant being admitted. Thank goodness everything was back to normal by this morning as I don't have a single thing ready for a baby and I haven't finished packing my hospital bag.  That was a wake up call so today I am ordering the stuff that I didn't get at my shower and setting up the things I do have.  I know it sounds stupid as anything can happen but I have been feeling very relaxed as I just had it in my head that I would have a late baby!

I have all these also and I'm only 32.5 weeks. I really hope it doesn't mean labor is near.

Honestly it just sounds like third trimester to me BUT I'm not a doctor.

I agree

I would call the Dr. and ask as we are all different but....I had really bad Braxton hicks all day yesterday that seemed to be getting more frequent and uncomfortable. I called the doc and they said drink 12 ounces of water quickly and lay down really still for 30 minutes counting contractions then drink another 12 ounces and lay down again and continue countinng. If I have more than 5 contractions in an hour doing that then call back. Wouldn't you know contractions slowed down to 3 in an hour. It seemed though when I started moving again they came back. So, maybe try that if you are cramping/contracting?
