A member asked:

34 weeks pregnant. painful consistant cramping. the baby already dropped and hospital verified. using the bathroom a lot! advice? does this mean labor

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be labor: But the only way to tell if it is labor that is starting to open your cervix is to be checked. Since you are 34 weeks, and we don't want the baby born yet, call your doctor and go in and get checked. Other possibilities is intestinal cramping if you are having constipation or diarrhea.
