Suggest Treatment That Help Alleviate Labor Pains

I was due to have my fourth baby July 3 and on July 4th (today) my mucus plug came out. I have been having what feel like labor pains for several days but not close enough to go to the hospital. Yesterday on my due date I was sure it was the big day-pains were about 3-4 minutes apart until I sat down to rest-then they were further apart. And I had pains all night and today. Driving me crazy! Can you tell me it won t be long now? YYYY@YYYY

Hi,

The time of delivery depends on the labor pains how many openings of mouth of the uterus is achieved.

So only a gynecologist who has examined you fro. inside can have some idea about delivery time.

Please get yourself examined. If labor is in progress, baby is alright &birth passage is sufficient.

The doctor may give you medication to stimulate good pains (no alienation is helpful at the moment) &get you delivered normally.

In case there is no progress &labor pains are increasing. There may be some obstruction in delivery & doctor may take you for cisseian section.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
