hi carole
welcome to HealthcareMagic
you have every reason to be worried as a caring mother
your treating must have evaluated your daughters condition well before saying that they will start on tuesday
labor pain you must be knowing is the most painful experience of before deliveries
it is usually rhythmic and starts as back ache and spreads all over abdomen with painful uterine contraction
if the
uterus contracts without any pain then may be it not labour pain
doctor must have done an internal examination to asses your daughter's condition
before sending you home
sometimes incordinate uterine contractions do occur
if your daughter has passed 7 days after her edd and she is having the prostration she should be evaluated well before sending her home
she may be considered for induction of labour
your daughter should keep close watch on her foetal movements till it is delivered
talk to your doctor and express your apprehension
