Never did I think I would go into premature labor..

with my daughter I carried her to 40 weeks and only had BH twice. With this pregnancy I've had non stop BH and early this morning it turned even worse. I seriously thought I was going into labor. My stomach was getting so tight it was hard to breathe and it made me sick!! I'm terrified this is my body warning me there's more to come. They were pretty consistent about every 10 minutes but after an hour or so they let up a little. I'm only 21 weeks and really freaking out!! I've stayed hydrated and have taken baths when possible... I've been in labor before so when I say I felt like I was in labor I'm not meaning that lightly! Any suggestions other than talking to my OB?

  • Go to the hospital to see everything is ok !

  • Even if there's no bleeding or leaking fluid?
  • If you already have experience going into labor are saying is the same feeling + the title of your topic is saying you are going into labor; I will go running to the hospital just to see everything is ok and not push it to wait for bleeding

  • I agree with PP! Go right away! If you are in labor, they can give you something to stop it at the hospital. But if its too far along and water breaks, there is nothing they can do that that point.
  • Will be heading there as soon as DH gets home in just a few minutes...
  • I was having a similar experience yesterday so I went to L&D to make sure everything was ok. Turns out I was dehydrated. Make sure you are drinking a ton of water. I thought I was drinking enough but clearly was not. I would def go get checked out just to make sure everything is ok :)
  • Good, keep us updated. Praying for you

    Dehydration can cause this drink more water
  • I had this happen with DD2....I had a ton of braxton hicks starting around 18 weeks, and then some time around 25 weeks I was up one night walking back and forth trying to walk them off.  They came regular and strong.  They finally went away, and then next day I had my regular OB appt.  Everything was fine, and I continued to have braxton hicks regularly up until about 30ish weeks.  I actually went post due with DD2.  I spend a good part of my pregnancy terrified though.  I hope what happened to you is what happened to me, and just a strange occurance.  
  • Hope everything is ok
  • Sending thoughts and prayers!!
  • I keep checking in hopes of an update.. Hope everything went well ! still in my T&P



  • Praying for you! Please update when you're able
