I am 36 weeks and in a lot of pain. I feel like someone has kicked me in the groin and my hips and lower back keep cramping. I am also feeling a lot of cramping and pressure in my lower abdomen. I have called my doctor and she keeps saying it is probably just ligaments stretching but I am on my third pregnancy and have never experienced anything like this. Does anyone have any info or have you experienced anything similar?

Could this be labor even though I am only having a few contractions an hour?

yes you very well could be in labor, i would go to the hospital and at least get checked, it sounds to me like your doc isnt listening to you, please go to the hospital to be on the safe side, you shouldnt have to be in pain, and at least if you go and they examin you,and then tell you your ok maybe you will feel betteror maybe they will tell you your in labor and you can get it over with and enjoy you new baby, dont take any chances just go to the hospital and get checked out

I did and when I called my doctor they said the same thing. So I asked for an appt the same day, she told me that she couldnt see me becuase she was way over booked, so I went to the hospital and found out that I was in early labor. The gave me meds to stop the contractions and I delivered a healthy happy baby boy three weeks later

On my 3rd pregnancy my labor started at the last stage, And it started 2 weeks early. My doctor told me to meet him at the hospital and my baby was born about 30 minutes later. Every pregnancy is different. Maybe this one is different for you. Get yourself to the hospital. Better safe than sorry.

Call your doctor back and tell her to f-off and you need an in person exam now. You are the patient who is paying her and she can't know what's going on over the phone. Take control back of the situation. If she still blows you off go to the ER. Who knows what's going on, but if your own doctor won't assist you go somewhere where they will.

Well your doctor sounds like a moron. Go to the hospital. You shouldn't still be haing ligament pains that far into your pregnancy.

you may find its because its your 3rd pregnancy that's why you notice it so much I'm having baby # 5 and am in pain alot of the time, very similar to what you seem to have.
my midwife also told me its where the baby is low down and everything is stretching preparing for birth.
try to relax your almost at the end now try warm baths to ease the discomfort

If it were me, I'd go to the hospital, just to be on the safe side. It may be nothing as your doctor suggests but best to be sure.
Good luck

Every pregnancy is different so don't base it off of previous pregnancies. All 3 of my pregnancies were as different as night and day with different symptoms and pains with each one.

It sounds like it might be labor. Although you should be starting weekly appointments about now, you might ask for an appointment to have your Dr. check your cervix.
