2053975 tn?1343405733 I've been having back pain since 12:30am, it is now almost 2 hrs later and the pain is still there. Its not getting worse, but its not going away. I took a warm shower and changed position and they cramping in my back won't go away. How long should bh last. Im 39+3 so im hoping this is it. Input would be really apreciated.
Avatar f tn It sounds like it did, it can't last forever, so it will slow up (mine did). The back pressure may be back labor and you dilating still, does it come and go? If it continues I'd call L&D and go in and have them check you, let them know you've had your bloody show, and you're having bad back pressure.

4235497 tn?1356982472 I have been contracting every 10 min since 3am. It is now 5pm and I am still having them. I had a doctors appt this morning so I let him know so he gave me a vaginal exam and he said that I wasn't dilated and that my cervix is still thick. He says that he won't give me the medicine to stop the contractions. So how long do I have to stay with these contractions? They're not that painful just uncomfortable.
Avatar f tn how long were you FTM in labor? Everyone tells me the first takes a long time. I live an hour away from the hospital and I don't want to go right away. I want to stay home as long as I can. But all I can think about is my neighbor who had her baby in the car while they were on their way to the hospital.

377493 tn?1356502149 What does that mean exactly, and how long can this last for? I am having frequent contractions, and they hurt!! There is no pattern to them, they just sort of come whenever. Favorite time seems to be late at night/middle of night..sleeping is becoming a problem and I am getting grumpy!! lol. I somehow think lack of sleep will be easier to deal with because I am taking care of my baby...that's a happy thing! This is not. Anyone else have this go on this long?
