I feel so weird today..is this normal?
I am 34 weeks and last night I started having a ton of BH contractions which I read online is normal, but I was having one every 5-10 minutes?
Also when I woke up today it felt like he dropped even more which I didn't think was possible, he has been so low the entire time.
I all around just don't feel good either, like I have a stomach ache or something.
Is this normal? I don't wanna call my doctor for nothing but I just feel "weird" and uncomfortable.

I actually just had all of the same symptoms yesterday at 32 weeks. I wound up going in and they said I have to rest and drink lots of fluids so I'm working from home today. I hesitated calling the doctor but in the end I'm glad I did so I would call them

Since you are 34 weeks I would call your doctor just to be safe. If you deliver now your baby would be a premie...better safe than sorry, though I am sure it is probably nothing. Good luck!

Call your doctor, that's what they are there for. There's no harm in telling them what's going on.
Keep us posted!

the BH every 5-10 mins is no good for 34 weeks give your OB a call just in case 
At 34 weeks, I had a few days where I was having 3-4 per hour and I was told that if I had anymore, I should go in for monitoring
drink tons of water, it could be dehydration related! get those feet up!

Re: I feel so weird today..is this normal?
Thanks everyong!
I am calling my OB right now, you ladies have convinced me. I know she is gonna have me come in for monitoring...
I am drinking water right now with my feet up but I watch a 1 year old all day and she is sleeping so this will be very short lived.
I need to keep this baby in for 3 more weeks!!!

Re: I feel so weird today..is this normal?
I am STILL waiting for her to call me back!!
I know its her receptionist, she is the worst! last time I called and got another lady and she just made me hold while she went and got my OB.
I am still having BH's every 10-15 minutes!!!  Sometimes even 5 apart..
I think I am gonna call them back now.

I know, its her dumb receptionist. I love my Dr. But some of her staff really irritate me.
I called back and spoke to someone else who I love and she put me on hold to get her (the obvious thing to do!) I am sitting in waiting room now, gonna go on monitor...

Glad to hear u r at the doctor. I know exactly what you mean. My doctor (s) are great but the front office staff is horrible...if they even pick up the phone.
Hang in there and keep us posted!!

Re: I feel so weird today..is this normal?
ok 5 hours later!! I am having BH contractions but she thinks I should be fine. My cervix is closed and there is no bleeding/discharge.
She did swab me (fetal fibronectin) to test for preterm labor which I will find out tomorrow and if so I have to stop working.
She told me the same old: feet up, hydrate, relax, rest. Its much easier said than done but right now I am finally doing that  I would love to just do nothing, turn my brain off and relax but that's not a reality for me right now.
UGGHH and I still hate her staff, the nurse made me pee in the cup twice b/c she dumped the first one, and this has happened before (does she not realize how hard it is for a 34 week preggo to pee in a cup)! They left me alone on monitor for an hour! I had to get up attached to it w/no pants on, lol, in order to get someone to come check me b/c I was there for 2 1/2 hours and had to go. I am thinking next birth I may go to a different group.
Anyway thanks for all of your sconcern, as long as that test comes back negative I should be fine and just need to chill. I am only working through April so it should be ok.

Re: I feel so weird today..is this normal?
Your doctor's office sounds like a nightmare. I'm glad you are okay. Try to get as much rest at nights and on the weekend as possible.
