What would you do? Please don't be rude I know none of you are dr.'s I'm not asking for medical advice!!!?

So this is my third pregnancy both previous were sections and I am having a repeat with this baby. I am 37 weeks and have been contracting all day and night today 14-15 minutes apart about 35 seconds long and on the pamphlet from my dr. says only to call when you have more than five in an hour. And I have had that problem before and called and they said to drink something cold and lay on my left side and if they get to being 7 minutes apart to call back. Well I have already tried water and left side and I am still contracting ever 14-15 min. for 30-35sec. each. I can physically feel her head pushing down and I am hurting like hell. I want to call the dr. but I know they are either going to tell me to call back when they get closer or to go to L%26amp;D and let them check me out. The only thing is I know my cervix was only 75% effaced and I wasn't dilated but a figertip friday. Also all of the contractions are in my back with a menstrual type cramp in the front but doesn't feel like the contractions I had with my first child that were all in my stomach. I know from going with my cousin to l%26amp;d when she was pregnant that their monitors don't pick up back labor... soooo Question is if you were in my position what would you do wait it out or go in? I don't want to go in and them send me home and end up having to go back in a day or two later because of feeling the same way and this doesn't feel like its going to let up.What would you do? Please don't be rude I know none of you are dr.'s I'm not asking for medical advice!!!?
if i were you i would go in and get checked. i am prego with my 5th baby and ALL my other ones i had back labor with. my first one i was 16 and i woke up at 530am with back pains laid on a heating pad it didn't help had to pee (or i thought) i made it to the bathroom and thought i pissed myself only to later find out my water broke, pain was still bad so i laid back down and tried to go to sleep ended up finally calling my sister and telling her i needed to go to the hospital, got there at 730am and was dilated to an 8. then a few hours later she was born. if your not sure and your in alot of pain GO and get checked if anything to make sure it is not nothing serious if your not in labor.What would you do? Please don't be rude I know none of you are dr.'s I'm not asking for medical advice!!!?
Go ahead and get checked in Labor and Delivery.
if i was in your shoes i would go in to the hospital straight away and tell them something doesn't feel right, its your right to be checked over!!
You should go ahead and go in hun I fully would listen to the answerer who is a labor and delivery RN
doctorrss!!
You should go in and have L%26amp;D check you out and see what is going on with you two.
i would go in if you're having that much pain
I am not a doctor but have been in labor 5 times. Unfortunately I never experienced back labor. But I do know that with every contraction you dilate more. They say with active contractions you should dilate 1cm every hour, but I think that is for those whose contractions are like 5 minutes apart. If you go to the L%26amp;D they can check to see how far dilated you are at least even if the monitor doesn't pick up the contractions.
I would do what the doc says, to call when they are 7 minutes apart.....unless you are just in so much pain that you can't take it....





Even if you go to L%26amp;D, don't worry about it, they are use to people doing that - and heck that's what they are there for......who cares if they send you home - atleast you'll feel better about the whole thing....





Congrats and G'luck=D
I think you should go in..you know your body better than anyone. And its better to be safe and go get check out even if they tell you to come back. It sounds like you have been in early labor for a while today so maybe by time you make it you will be a little farther...try walking to see if that gets them going more also.
