I went to the doctor on friday and I am starting to dialate. Last night I had some really wierd pains and today I feel like I have been doing sit ups all day. It feels like I'm flexing it and cant stop. Is this a sign of labor or is the baby just giving my stomach a work out?

It could be just braxton hicks, braxton hicks are prelabor contractions, you will notice a lot when your walking and are being more active, its just your body getting ready for the big day.

You could be experiencing Braxton Hick's Contractions which is "false labor" OR you could be in the early stages of labor since you are so fall along. Early labor can last for days. I was in early labor for a solid 2 days befor Active labor began.
:) Good luck with the baby- they are the best :)

Sounds like contractions :)
That's your uterus contracting pushing your body to ready itself for childbirth.
I'd go to the dr tomorrow and get checked, make sure your not further along in labour than u think.
It could be just Braxton Hicks(fake contractions) just letting you know labour is coming, and these are practice contractions letting u know what you're in for!
Good luck! Your baby will be here soon!
Congrats!

Call your doctor and go to the hospital sweets! Even if it turns out to be Braxton Hicks it's always better to be sure! I'll say a little prayer for you!

Could just be Braxton-Hicks, which isn't real labour.
If the contractions become 5 minutes apart for one hour, with increasing intensity... go to the hospital.

When you're in labor, you will know. It feels like menstrual cramps. Tightness is probably braxton hicks.

it ought to harm like all punch in the tummy.. The amniotic hollow area (a spread of bag containing aprox. a million litre of amniotic fluid) protects the youngster from outside blows the the female's abdomen that would harm the youngster.
