Okay.. so i have been asking a lot of questions about contractions and everything..
Well for about an hour i keep getting cramps in my lower stomache but nothing that isnt bearable.. My tummy gets hard here and there but not the whole time im cramping. At points in time i will get a pain that makes me stop what im doing down from the middle of my stomache to my pelvic.. around there.. Im also not feeling to good.. meaning like really drowsy & i feel like my face is burning but my cheeks are not warm..
I dont know what exactly is going on..
Last week i was having bad back pains and a lot of braxton hicks..
Im a little over 36 weeks pregnant..

EDIT:
Serena, I know you're trying to be helpful, but she's full term...and everyone's labor is different. She may have 1 hour, or have 21 hrs...better safe than sorry.

Sweetie, it sounds like you may be in the early stages of labor. Luckily you are 36 weeks along so most doctor's consider you full term so that you don't have to rush to the doctor's right away and can watch to see how it progresses and make sure they are contractions (I went into preterm labor at 30 weeks, I'm at 34 weeks and still having problems but on anti-contraction pills) You may want to call your doctor though if you don't know their rules on when to come into the hospital. Honestly, if you are in early labor, you want to spend the least amount of time in the hospital, it makes the labor drag on. The contractions may stop on their own too. This happened to my mother when she was pregnant with my brother.
I would time them, see if they have a pattern to them. My doctor said that when I'm full term, and if my water hasn't broken, that I should time my contractions. If they come every couple minutes and I can't talk through them, that then it is time to go to the hospital. My contractions came on like a wave of pain. They started not so bad then increased in pain and there seemed to be a peak of unbearable pain...where I was just waiting for it to stop (my husband was never a help, he would tell me that the contraction monitor said I was coming down now...but it never felt that way, it felt like it was getting worse.) Then it would release slowly and the pain would be mostly gone.
When I went into preterm labor, it all started with me not feeling too hot. I felt like I had the flu, I was burning up and just moving really slow. Shortly after that was when the contractions started to kick in. I hope this helps :) I'm 34 weeks along, but they are taking me off my contraction pills next week (and I'm going off of bedrest.) I'm expecting our baby to come shortly after (not sure why they are taking me off at 35 weeks instead of 36 weeks...oh well.)

Um sweetie you need to call the hospital and let them know you are on your way. That way, they will just take you strait to OB when you get there. You need to go now if you haven't already. Better safe then sorry!!!
