38-39 weeks pregnant with second baby. I am dilated to 3 and have walked and walked and walked?

Question

I have done almost everything possible that you are not supposed to do while pregnant. I have moved furniture and had sex really hard sex. Nothing seems to bring on hard contractions. I had a leep almost 2 years ago and they told me sex would trigger labor and cut me off at 5 months, at 37 weeks I emerged and had it again. Lost stress but no labor began. Now I have a nagging pain in my lower back and I feel like I am going to start my period with cramps in my lower stomach. I feel like I have a little trickle of something coming out of me and with my first baby I was induced. I don't know what actual labor feels like in the beginning. I am mostly worried about the creamy clear liquid that seeps out, It isn't alot at a time just small amount but all day long.I have used about 8 pantyliners since 7:00 am. I know this may be a little TMI but I need some serious advice, So Please anyone that has been through this HELP! My BF said she done the same thing and had a dry birth-PAINFUL!!! thx

I just don't want to wait and then something bad happen. I am supposed to go to the Dr. at 10:00 am in the morn. I feel like I have something kinda tearing me or like an itch inside. It's not really painful but completely uncomfortable. I know they say when labor begins you will know it but what about the silent labor I have heard so much about. THANKS for all if your advice and please only serious answers!!!!

*******I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL********
And they sent me back home.....again!!!
They said that it was just pressure from him descending and that I could go at any time. I have to keep my appointment for the am and hopefully the next time I have to ask for advice it will be on a fussy newborn!!!! THANX for all of your help and support!!!

Answer 1

It sounds like you are in the beginning of labor. Not all people have labor pain in their belly. I had mine in my back. It sounds like your water hasn't broke or completely ruptured yet but you are are leaking it. Walking helps. It was in medical articles sex does bring on labor if the baby is ready to be born. call your dr now and tell him everything. He may need to admit you in to the hospital to put pit in an iv so your pains will get stronger. I do suggest you call the dr now. If you loose all the fluid, and still haven't started labor, the baby has a higher risk of infection. Congratulations and I wish you the best

39 Weeks Pregnant With Second Baby

Answer 3

u have done all of the things that i would tell u to do. maybe the baby will just come on it's own maybe it's not ready yet and you're rushing to get it over with. are u having a boy or girl? boys are said to be stubborn my friend just had a little boy and she did everything she could to go in labor constantly walking all day and she went in labor after her due date and u said that you're leaking, my sister did the same thing and when she went to the hospital she was in labor because the fluid was her baby sack was leaking so u should check it out DON'T WAIT go to the hospital to make sure it could be time. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 4

you are probably leaking small amounts of amniotic fluid, which means go to the hospital. the longer that bag of water is popped, the more chances of contracting an inter-uterin infection. the lower back pain, and cramping are signs of "stage 1" labor, which doesn't really feel like labor, but it is, and it could mean that you are dialating, and effacing (cervex thinning, also called ripening). there is no harm in going to the hospital, and it is highly recomended. if nothing is wrong, they will send you home, but chances are, you have reached stage 1...good luck.

Answer 5

Sounds like placenta has a perforation and you are experiencing early symptoms of labor. Go to the hosp, you're pretty much ready. If there is a perforation and its not urine leaking from pressure then you'll have to deliver within the next 48 hours. Perforation increases the baby's risk of infection.
Just FYI, semen contains (LH) hormones that help thin and dilate the cervix.

Answer 6

second baby had no labor pains, just tightening in belly. You could be having "back" labor, and any fluid discharge should be checked by Dr. Go to hospital, you are in labor, good luck. Labor pains are severe cramps, that's the description.

Answer 7

The liquid is very possibly your sac rupturing, the back pain could be back labor. You need to call your ob NOW. Give them all the details. Even if you are not in full labor, if you are loosing your ambionic fluid, you need to be induced. Good luck.

Answer 8

Sounds like your water is braking. When I was pregnant my water broke it was a big gush till I had him. My labor pain was in my back like you said you period was going to start. I think you need to be checked. If your water breaks you have to deliver within 24 hrs. I only got to a 5 and they had to take him because he wouldn't drop. Hope everything works out ok.

Answer 9

What you need to do is go to the hospital and not wait to see your doctor in the morning that is what you need to do. If I was in this situation and all the things you have mention is a sign you should be at the hospital not online trying to get advice. You are just putting you and your baby more at risk. JMO

Answer 10

You sound like you are in early labor. Feel your belly and see if it's hardening. You may want to head to the hospital so they can test and see if the liquid is amniotic fluid. You sound close to having your baby.
