"Currently 38 weeks today. So far I've kind of understood there are different types of labor pains. Is it true? Let me explain what I mean.
So at 35 weeks I was experiencing typical strong abdominal pains every 7 minutes with bowel movements. I went to the hospital and I was having contractions but they began to stop and I only had 2 that hour and no dilation so they sent me home. Since then I have been having strong Braxton Hicks and loose bowels.

...

So suddenly today I'm feeling strong menstrual cramps and lower back pain (similar to my first pregnancy induction pains). I've noticed they've become more uncomfortable for the past 3 hours, and having hot flashes as well as my breast hurting more today, not really hungry besides snacking around. So far no discharge yet besides typical vaginal discharge. I feel lost because I don't know whether to think this is early labor or just pregnancy pains though they do seem to get more painful and feels like when I was induced in my first pregnancy. I'm home alone with my two year old and my hospital is 40 minutes away. And rush hour should start in 2 hours so I'm hoping if it is labor to go before rush hour since hospital is downtown. Any tips please. Just don't know what to do or not get to the hospital on time." latest prom collections look hot
