So i've been getting weekly progesterone injections to prevent preterm labor since my son was born premature. I lost my mucus plug over the weekend and for the past 2 days i've had a consistent tightening in my stomach (baby doesn't move during this time) and some back pain, I also have been wearing pads and it feels like i'm constantly leaking fluid here and there but I haven't soaked a pad. I've talked to my doctor and they told me to lay down and drink water and take it easy. I'm concerned because I never had contractions with my son and just had back labor, never felt anything in my stomach. Right now I feel like i'm having period cramps and my vagina and pelvis feels like it's about to fall out. I'm following dr orders but i'm concerned I may be going into early labor.
Re: Early labor?
THIS.
This also, I would be concerned also, either way it is better to be on the safe side.
agreed.
This too!
All of the above. Do not wait until you get to the point where L&D cannot do anything but deliver the baby.
