Labor: When the contractions are painful and five minutes apart for at least an hour it is time to be seen in labor and delivery. If you feel your pain is severe you should be promptly evaluated.

Accepted Answer

Probably menses: If your pregnancy tests have been negative, then delayed ovulation can result in delayed menstruation.  If pregnancy is uncertain, then a blood test for pregnancy will provide a more definitive answer.  In theory it could be an early miscarriage, but a positive pregnancy test is needed to confirm this.  Otherwise it may just be a bad period.                  If you do have a positive pregnancy, se.

Question 6

almost 36w pregnant, nausea followed by vomiting, lower leg cramps, tummy tightening, and back pain... plus constant heartburn. labor? flu?

Accepted Answer

Likely labor: This sounds like early labor, which is usually not such a problem at 36 weeks of pregnancy.  You might certainly have a urinary tract infection or virus.  I am sure that your obstetrician would be happy to see you and sort this out with you.  Good luck!

Question 7

is heartburn part of preterm labour?

Accepted Answer

Heartburn in Preg: Heartburn is very common in pregnancy. From a hormonal standpoint your gut relaxes and acid rises up. From a mechanical standpoint your growing pregnancy will push up on your stomach. These are not signs of preterm labor though; you would feel much stronger contractions.

Question 8

hard labor and change in diet. 50lbs weight loss just shy of a year. frequent constipation and indigestion. trial of prilosec otc was useless.. ulcer?

Accepted Answer

Fiber and hydration: Just over 2 lb per month weight loss is good but set reasonable target weights below 95th percentile but above your height percentile. Ensure adequate hydration, fiber and vitamin intake. A psyllium-based product at recommended dose before meals with water would suffice.
