A Labor Question

Hi everyone! I am 35 weeks today and for the last 4 hours or so I've had pressure way down in my pelvis. It's a constant pressure almost like the kids are sitting on my bladder, except when I go to the restroom, I don't really need to go. My upper thighs are also suddenly crampy. I'm feeling contractions here and there, maybe 4 in the last hour. Is this typical of the start of labor? I've had three kids, but I was induced all three times. I also do not believe I am dehydrated and this pressure is sticking around regardless of whether I sit or stand. Anywho, I'm not worried since I am pretty far along, but I am curious if this could be something. Any thoughts?

  • I would def call the doc, sounds like the start to me, and better safe than sorry.

  • Our doctors tell us to go to hospital after-hours if you have more than 6 contractions in an hour. Otherwise, since they won't try and stop delivery at this point, I just wait it out. I haven't had 6 yet, but I feel like we are well on our way. :)
  • I'd call for sure. The day my water broke I just felt "off" all day with odd symptoms. I thought nothing of it be it was only 33w but it was the start of their arrival. Good luck!!!

  • sounds like how mine started as well. I was having this sharp pressure in my crotch for a day or two so I went in and was checked and she noticed a big difference in how low baby A was. About 8 hours after she checked me my water broke. All this time I was having contractions

  • Update: I'm not in labor! :) I rested and my contractions calmed down. Also had an ultrasound and Baby A completely flipped and was transverse putting a lot of pressure on me. Also, the ultrasound guessed Baby A at 6 lbs 9 oz and Baby B at 6 lbs so it's possible they are just weighing easily on my pelvis. Also, my doctor thinks I have SPD. So, with all of that, I am fine and just experiencing a new level of uncomfortable. Ha! I did have a huge contraction on the monitors and am dilated to 2, which has never happened to me with my three other kiddos, so my body is getting ready, I guess. Only 6 more days, regardless! Thanks so much for all your feedback.
