| On July 5th, I was 29 weeks and sent to the hospital having contractions. They stopped them after 6 hours. And about two days ago I was back in the hospital having mild contractions, which only lasted about 2 hours and they stopped and they sent me home. I am dilated in between 1 and 2 CM currently. I am 33 weeks, and have been having really bad pelvic pressure, and sharp pains. These usually accure more at night, and off and on during the day. I know the doctor said pelvic pressure is normal, but I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same symptoms. Sometimes when I stand up, I feel as if the baby is just pushing to come out, and its very uncomfortable. Yes, I am being very paranoid about every ache and pain because I don't want this little girl to come out yet. Just wanted some people's opinions. Maybe it will help me feel better. (This is my first baby) |

| Complications aren't normal. If you're having symptoms go see your OB. Having had a preterm baby myself, if I did not go to the hospital out of concern my baby would likely not be here today. |

| I am 33 weeks and don't have any of the symptoms you are talking about -- a little bit of pelvic pressure, but no feeling like the baby wants to come out. I would definitely call your OB and if there is any question get over to the hospital. Good luck -- I hope everything is okay! |

| Call the Dr.'s office to check in, but be ready for them to send you to the hospital for an NST. It's a better safe than sorry approach and what any OB office should tell you to do. I felt like that with my 1st 2 kids and at 29 weeks I feel that way with #3 now, so I can sympathize. If you don't feel regular contractions and don't want to spend the night in the hospital, I'd say stay in bed until Monday if you can & then call them. Good Luck! |
