Am i paranoid or is something going to happen soon?

Question

Ok, im 32 weeks pregnant and im 16 (big chance of premies) I have a lot of syptoms of pre-labor----HUGE increase in baby movement, i feel really weak and tired all the time, i want to be super close to my family and my boyfriend, slight cramping like period cramping, lots more vaginal disharge i seem so much wetter and theres some excess in my underwear ( disgusting i know bear with me), im not sure if i have dialated or not and i havnt felt any contractions or braxtin hicks, im not really sure if i've dropped i never really felt out of breath the baby isnt below my ribs i dont think. Should i talk to my doctor or is it natural?

i have a gift of motherhood book made by my hospital and i was reading it and thats how i found these pre labor signs and increase or decrease in activity were both on there. thanks.

also ive been having diharea but i am pretty sure thats because of my iron pills, i was classified as anemic, and i started taking pills over 450% iron total a day....

Answer 1

Everything sounds normal to me. When you get crampy try drinking a glass of water and lying down on your side for awhile and see if the crampiness goes away. Usually uterine irritability is caused by even the mildest dehydration, so always try to hydrate yourself and rest first if you start feeling like that. If it doesn't get better after 30-60 minutes, then call your doctor if you're worried.

Although 16 year olds generally might have a slightly higher risk of preterm delivery, if you've been taking care of yourself and getting regular prenatal care, your risks are really not any greater than any other pregnant woman. Unless your doctor has said you are at high risk for some specific reason, don't worry about it. It's normal to feel a lot more aches/pains and have an increase in vaginal discharge as the pregnancy goes on.

But always always always call your doctor if you're experiencing something new or if you aren't sure what's happening. Even if it's after hours, they have an answering service and will have a doc or nurse call you back.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Actually it would be a decrease in fetal movement


Menstrual-like cramps, with or without diarrhea.
A feeling of pressure in your pelvis or lower abdomen.
A persistent, dull ache in your lower back, pelvic area, lower abdomen, or thighs.
Changes in your vaginal discharge, which may increase in amount or become pink or reddish.
Persistent, regular contractions of your uterus, 4 per 20 minutes or 8 every hour.3 These contractions may make your abdomen feel firm to the touch.
Not feeling well, including:
Unexplained fever.
Fatigue.
Uterine tenderness.

Answer 3

you sound to me like a girl at the end of her pregnancy... not meaning you are going to deliver just at that uncomfortable state in the last weeks . the baby is stronger and bigger now so you are going to feel it more and the cramping is it at the bottom of your belly that could be whats called ligament rounding i got that alot towards the end lik 32 weeks and up. just call your doctor and tell him whatever it is you are worried about.. it will be ok whatever the outcome.

Answer 4

u should also talk with ur midwife also just to get her opinion on it ust sounds natural thats what i had i turn out to be week late when i had my son once get feelings of contractions then i would be more worried but until then enjoy ur pregnancy cause more stress can cause early labor

Answer 5

You probably lost your mucous plug that's why you're wet. Same thing happened to me last pregnancy and it was a couple more weeks before I went into labor.

Answer 6

If you are worried at all about anything, you should always talk to your doctor. Especially if you are cramping. Good luck and congrats.

Answer 7
