I have a 6 year old son and I do Not remember being pregnant this long. I have been having so much pressure in the bottom of my belly it literally hurts. I had a Leep about 2 years ago and they said I had an incompetent cervix. Will I know if I am in active labor, Because I was put in the hospital 2 weeks ago and I was having contractions but I could hardly feel them, and they said that they were in the 40's and usually women are screaming for pain meds in the 30's !! Anyone been through this or have any suggestions?
When I ask my doctor she just says different strokes for different folks! Thanks for any comments!!

actually hunn i had a leap done as well before my last pregnancy and i couldn't feel a thing until after my water broke which shortly after my son was born it did help alot have the leep done you only have a few more weeks left maybe talk to your doctor about inducing at 39 weeks that way there is no risk involved with you not making it to the hospital as far as pressure yeah it suxs and near the end we all r miserable and have that nasty pressure where you feel your going to explode i hope this helps for you and congrajulations on your new baby hunn.

Everyone is different and some of us have a high pain tolerance. I have 6 kids and never ever took anything for pain. My longest labor was 2 1/2 hrs. number two was 1 1/2 hrs. By the third one, I was dialated more than half way and still didn't feel a thing, the next one was out in 2 pushes, the 5th one, I walked around the block to the hospital and it took the same, 2 pushes and the last litterally came out without pushing and he beat the doctor! we tried to wait for the doc but it was too late. At least we made it to the hospital around the block!
You must be like some of us. Good luck and soon you will have that innocent in your arms!

You don't have too much longer to go. Yes i have had three kids. My first daughter i felt everything. My son it wasn't until the end i really felt anything...just a lot of pressure and when he crowned is when i yelped some. My third was a breeze, didn't feel much but some pressure when time to push. You're a mommy though, you'll know when your in labor and when it's time. I have a feeling everything will go great. Good luck and congrats!!

Castor oil doesn't work. Well, maybe in the sense that it causes diarrhea and dehydration, and dehydration can cause contractions? Great! Nothing like being weak and dehydrated and unable to control your bowels while you're trying to deliver a baby!
I think your doctor is right: different strokes for different folks.
If you like and trust her, rely on her judgement. You're almost done.
Hang in there.

all i can say is your doctor is right :) Noone can tell you if you will feel contractions.
I went through the whole labor without pain medications, so like you see it's different from other women that are screaming for meds :))

This too shall pass, as does everything. Hang in there. Keep busy with your 6 year old. If you can spend as much time as possible with this baby the time will pass more quickly until the new baby arrives. Good Luck!!

It could be right different strokes for different folks, but the most important thing I would suggest is to maintain your eating habit and drink more liquid such as water and exercise properly to keep you in shape while situation as such your in to.
