I was told that using my breast pump could help to induce labor. I started using it about twice a day since Monday. Right after I used it on Monday I noticed that my belly was really hard. Ever since, it seems that my belly is constantly contracting. Today I have not only had these contractions(?), but I also have had six bowel movements and my sides and back hurt. It also feels like my pelvic bones are separating really low in my crotch. I know that I am antsy to have this baby, but I don't want to feel stupid and be sent home. I went in at 33 1/2 weeks because of menstrual like cramps and low back pain. I was told that I was dilated 2 and 50% effaced. They also said that I had an irritable uterus and gave me a lortab and sent me home because I wasn't dialating any more. My last Dr. appointment was last Wed. and he said that the baby was moving down and that I was starting to dialate and soften up, but he didn't say how much. Do you think I should go to the Dr?
