Answer 1

if your body is telling you something isn't right..i personally would go up to the hospital. Its hard for a doctor to tell you everything is ok without actually examining you and making sure that its really ok. Especially since you are over 40 weeks pregnant..almost 41. I would go to the hospital. It could be signs of a problem like your blood pressure is too high or something. I wouldn't take any tylonol either. Thats just me personally...I mean..since your over 40 weeks..again..i wouldn't do anything unless i got checked out first. For all you know..you could be in labor and the signs could just not be fully set in yet! Good luck with everything!!! My opinion is to go get checked out!

Those are signs that you're going to be in labor soon. My mom had the same thing. First it started the week she was 40 weeks for about one a day, then after a couple of days it was one every 3 hours, then after a couple of days one an hour, then so on. Until she got to 42 weeks and she was having them when they were like 10 every 8 minutes. Then she knew she was in labor. So she rushed to the hospital and it was just a late labor. She was almost 43 weeks. So that might be what you have so don't take it. Wait like a couple of days to see how many you get. You should go so he can examine you and if you are going to be in labor soon they can keep you there until you go into labor. Good luck! Feel free to e-mail me!

Answer 3

Your body is getting ready to start labor, that's how I felt when before I started labor. They won't admit you because you aren't in full labor yet. I just tried to remain calm and I went for short strolls. If you can handle the pain without the Tylenol then don't take it, but if you are miserable or just want to take a nap, then taking Tylenol is okay. Good Luck.

Answer 4

I would call your doctor back and make them listen, this is you and your child. If your doctor doesn't listen if it were me, I would head for the hospital just to be on the safe side.
