Hey sweetie...it's me!*:)~ Damn I feel your pain, and don't know what too say that will help you. I wish I knew something that worked I would definitely tell you so you didn’t have to go through that pain anymore!!! You pour thing:( I have pain like he's REALLY heavy but, not in my legs, I wonder why that is.......?...? I would call your OBGYN 2marrow, and ask them to HELP you find some way to feel a little more comfortable! Your deserve it! And if they don't maybe a message, of your legs and feet. Did you know if you get your big toe messaged it will make labor come on....? I found that out 'cause a girlfriend of mine works at a spa and she told me that when it's time to make me dilate then have my baby daddy(i say that b/c he'd NOT my boyfriend but he's a great guy!!) message my feet mostly my big toe, here's what I’ll do to help you, I’ll get on the internet, and look up a web site that shows all the different areas on your feet that you can message to make different parts of your body feel better, it's kinda cool to think that you can message your feet to get rid of a head ace, or a stomach ace. Ok, well here I go talk to you soon.

You're right, this is not normal for this time during pregnancy. It sounds like you might have "symphasis pubis dysfunction" which is when the cartilage at the front of the pelvis tears rather than just stretching. An elasticated support band or belt can help a little, but it is very painful and debilitating. You poor thing!
If your doctor says you are in pre-term labor then what is he doing about it? He can give you meds to stop the labor until the baby is more mature. I delivered at 35 weeks and I was lucky that my baby was strong and didn't need oxygen, but he had to be fed via tube for a while. Not being dilated doesn't mean anything. I went from "tight closed" to "baby arrived" in about ten hours!
Go back to your doctor and demand some more help, or go to the ER. If you are in pre-term labor they will keep you in or at least give you some meds to make you more comfortable and stop your baby coming too early. Good luck!

You poor thing, I can relate to most of those things! Unfortunately, it is one of the prices we pay to bring a new life into the world, the joy of pregnancy isn't always a joy for some of us! You have tried everything to make yourself more comfortable and nothing seems to have worked, maybe you could try taking some paracetamol for your aches and pains it is not harmful to baby. If your doctor says you are in preterm labour then you may have your baby before you are full term! Chasing after two little ones doesn't help when you feel so miserable the only consolation is you will meet your new addition soon and it will all be over. Good luck, I hope you are feeling better soon!

its hard to suggest anything you could do apart from go and get checked out, with 2 other littlies it must be so tiring. talk 2 ur doc again and let him no how bad things are

Why not go to ER, at least someone else will be obliged to look you over, your doc maybe wrong.
