Since all my pregnancies have been different i am really not sure what is normal or not...I dont want to sound stupid yet calling the dr..lol. I have been having contractions alot now which i am assuming are the braxton hicks and i am 21 weeks right now so i know they can start this early. But they are quite often through the day and night although not painful just tight. Then now my breasts are leaking already too. Also i have a discharge from below as well which i had and i know is normal but it seems much more than what is normal.. my back hurts so bad that some days i cant even walk and i cry all day. A friend told me maybe cuz it was my 3rd baby that everything is just earlier and a little more extreme...she has 5 kids so maybe but i would like to hear more experiences. Should i just go ahead and get into the drs? I have a full fetal exam on Wednesday so should i just wait till then? What to do what to do....i am thinking that i am farther in this pregnancy then they first thought too.

{{{HUGS}}} At the very least call your OB/GYN office and discuss your concerns over the phone. They will tell you if they think you need to come in. Better safe than sorry.

I would call the Dr today. They would rather see you than not see you with those types of symptoms. Please let us know how it goes.

See the dr today. And let us know how it goes? I had actual contractions for more than 2 months asuming they were Braxton-Hicks. I got put on bed rest and Brethine to stop the contractions.

Ditto! Call call call! I'd rather feel like I'm bugging them than not call and possibly put my baby or myself in danger. They are there for you to call.
Let us know!

Yes they kept me in the hosptital last night to monitor the contractions and leakage...the dr sent me home and said if the contractions start getting paiful or longer to come back but for now just to rest...i also have a pinched nerve in my back..uuggghhh. That he told me if it moves down my leg to come back in quickly. Thants e1!
