I'm feeling lower back pains (dull but present), and more pressure down there. God I hope this is the beginning of labor. My vision is a little blury too and my shoulders are achy . ADVICE anyone?? I'm 40 weeks, 3 cm dilated and 50% efaced, my due date is 1/19/07 (this friday). At around 3pm upper back is also hurting and I have more pressure down there. I've had a few contractions about 8 mins apart. Well it's now about 8:20pm and now my lower back is very painful and my hips down through my legs. If this is the beginning of labor I want to hold out as much as possible. SUGGESTIONS??? IS THIS EARLY LABOR??

Well good morning. as of 11:48 am Thursday morning NOTHING. I did spend all night with sharp pains and additional pressure down there but not enough to go to the hospital. I'll keep waiting and crossing my fingers for the next couple of days

A couple of suggestions:
Drink a glass of water and lay down for 30 minutes. Time contrax during this period. If contrax don't lessen or go away, it could be labor.
OR.....
Take a shower. If contrax don't lessen or go away, it could be labor. Aiming the water at your back could help with the pains you're having.
When contrax are about 5 mins apart and you can no longer talk through them, it's time to consider getting to the hospital.

It's not "early" anything. It's on time labor.
