So I am exactly 39 weeks today. Friday I thought my water was leaking went to hospital they said it wasn't but I was having contractions but not consistent enough to keep me. Since Friday I have felt progressively worse each day. Yesterday I cleaned the house and then decided to have sex with DH. Since then I have had a TON of pressure to the point I constantly feel like I need to go to the bathroom, my lower back has not ached but just plain hurt along with a TON of tightness in my abdomen. Since about 1:30 this morning I have had cramps started out as like right before your period comes but now I just dont want to move from the laying down position..... I am not sure whats going on if I am still "getting ready" or if its early labor....anyone have any advice or is it just more teasing....
Re: Advice!
This is going to be TMI, but at this point in pregnancy, everything is TMI!
I felt like this this past weekend ? to a T. Every time I stood or moved around, I was in pain and felt weird pressure/tightness. I'm a FTM, so I thought maybe this was a weird contraction/labor pain thing, but then I went to the bathroom and had a good BM. Then again, a couple times throughout the day. And then VOILA! Pain/Tightness/Weirdness was gone. I'm thinking you have probably already tried going to the bathroom, but apparently I couldn't put two and two together, so I thought I'd suggest it! :-) Good luck!
I have done this a few times but it doesn't relieve anything so I don't think it's a bathroom thing anymore at first I thought maybe but now I have a few times and no relief from that....
