Ok I am almost in my third trimester. I am 27 weeks and 2 days along with my second baby. Yesterday my husband and I went on a cultural tour in South Korea with his unit. I already have a hard time walking because of my back and the baby pushing against my injury from 2005. My husband kept nagging me to stay caught up with the tour group even though we didn't have to. Mind you this baby is pushing really low and its making my pelvis feel like it's going to break and is on fire. The last time I felt this I was in labor with my first son.
So while we were walking with our son it was really cold out and my back is hurting and I am feeling some really bad cramping. We decide to take our son to the museum where its warmer. So since about 9 a.m. that day I began to have bad contractions and I know they were and not braxton hicks because these pains were going from my back all the way around my belly and would get worse over time then die down. I couldn't get to a hospital seeing as we were 4 1/2 hours away from it on this trip. So on the bus ride home they were pretty bad too like to the point I was white knuckling the seat handles. But they eventually died down. I didn't go to the doctors but I am wondering if my contractions got worse because while shopping I went to change my son and he kicked me in this one spot on my stomach that has a bump right above my belly button that is painful to the touch and it almost brought me to my knees. That's when the contractions started getting really bad. My next doctors appointment is the 5th and I am wondering what to do. It scared me, so today I am taking it easy and off my feet except for having to get up and feed my son and change him.
I hate to scare you but this could be a thing where every second counts. Go see a doctor-it is better to know than not.
You really need to go see a doc asap. How scary!
Go to the doctor, the emergency room if you have to. They will either confirm that something is wrong and help you, or they will ease your fears. But go. Now. Blessings.
Please, please, please get medical attention ASAP. Let us know what happens...I'm going to be thinking about you all night now. God Bless.
Go to the doctor ASAP. It could be nothing, but better safe than sorry.
P.S. I like your profile pic. I've liked Inuyasha since high school. lol. :)
I'd give your a doctor a call and let him know whats going on. The doctors office will let you know if they want to see you sooner.
Go to medical right now. If I'm counting right, it's still daytime hours, yes? Go in and get seen. If not, go to the ER.
It could be nothing, it could also be your placenta detaching / a placental abruption. Which is how I lost my daughter at a little over 6mo.
Ditto... Dont mess with it. Call your dr immediately. Baby could be in distress. God bless...
Go to the Dr now!! I was 29 weeks with my twins and I didn't know it but I was having pre-term labor. I went to a bridal shower the day before, my aunt and my mom got everything that I needed so I could stay off of my feet. I called up the doctors office the next day just to be seen to make sure that everything was fine and the receptionist put me on hold then got back on the phone quick (they all knew who I was....) and told me to go over to labor and delivery now (I was working in the building right next to the hospital in the same parking lot), I went over there and yes I was in active labor and was dilated to a 1 almost 2.
You should definitely have called your doctor ...I hope you've decided to go in to Labor and Delivery to get checked.
Don't chance it. Go to the doctors ASAP! Get an ultrasound to make sure everything is ok and an internal exam to make sure you aren't dialating. Good luck.

Have your hubby go with you to the doctor and have the doc give him a piece of his mind about how pregnant women sometimes cannot keep up. Get to your doctor now. Better safe than sorry, you do not want the baby to distressed.
Every day you can stay pregnant is worth several days in the NICU. Here in southern CA the local hospitals see many a pregnant lady give birth prematurely after visiting Disneyland. No one else can feel what you feel in your body. Get checked out and be assertive with anyone who tries to push you to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. All the rest you can now will be so worth it. When I was admitted to the hospital and struggling to understand what "bed rest" meant one of the nurses offered to take me to the NICU so I could see what I was accomplishing in staying pregnant. I said no thank you. While I am not a fan of "scaring" someone, I am forever grateful to her. Our family and friends constantly marvel at our little girl's health after being told she would not live unless I stayed pregnant longer. Not "viable" was what they said. SO. I hope I don't stress you out, you need to relax! But I am trying to share my experience because I want to somehow give you that feeling I had of being empowered with the ability to choose health for my child. I also had a toddler at the time and it was tough. Being that you are in Korea I am guessing you are far from family. I hope you have some friends out there who can help you out. Congrats on a new baby!
So, what happened? ?
