I am 38 weeks and 2 days pregnant and have really bad sharp pains mainly in my uppper stomach and a little in my lower and it hurts to walk, lay down or do anything. My lower back hurts really bad when I lay down. My baby is also REALLY active right now and he hasn't been this active in a LONG time!!!
I went to the hospital a month ago for what the dr. thinks was placenta abrubto but I haven't had any bleeding since then.

This placenta abruptio thing concerns me.If your placenta was starting to separate a month ago, I hope your doc has been following you closely with ultrasounds.
If it's your first baby, you may not know. It's never a bad idea to get it checked out at the labor and delivery unit where you intend to deliver. The symptoms you're describing could be early labor, but could also be signs of a urinary tract infection.
you should get this checked out, just to be safe. No need to worry about being overly cautious. This is your baby!

This to me sounds like your aches and pains are because your baby doesn't have any more room therefore making you extremely uncomfortable.If your pain is affecting you then you should see your doctor.Not to worry you but if you passibly have a problem with your placenta you should get that checked again because you or your baby could be in trouble.Bleeding caused by a placenta abruption can cause you to bleed excessively.This is probably tour ligaments causing you the pain.Try getting on your hands and knees to relieve some pressure, maybe a bath ,water can do wonders for relieving pressure and pain.

If your water breaks or you start having periodic cramps - for me they started out easy, and about 10 20 minutes apart - then progressed to 5 minutes apart and felt like cramps from a bad period, but they lasted 30 seconds - the gone until the next one. You're in serious labor if the cramps get 2 minute or less apart and/or you can't talk while having a cramp.

You should go to the hospital and have it checked out -- better to be on the safe side. My contractions started at 2 minutes apart and stayed that way, and my water never broke (they had to break it at the hospital). Every labour is different, and pain tolerance is different. It can be hard to tell.

Did you tell your Doctor about the pain, because nobody can really tell you if you're in labor, because every labor is different. Don't ever feel that a trip to the hospital is a waste because it is for the health of your son.

You'll know! Even if it is false labour, or Braxton Hicks, you'll know that its labour rather than heartburn or something else. If you're in labour, you will have contractions at regular intervals...starting far apart, but they will be the same each time, and will pass in between. If your pain is constant, it likely isn't labour, but you should still get checked out.

Sounds like you might be over due and the stupid doc doesn't see it. Is there anyway you could go to the emergency room? Hon you could possibly be needing a c-section because you cant have it. Is this your first? Better be safe than sorry. Good Luck and Congradulations. I hope you the best.
