My name is Amber and i just became 28 weeks pregnant on Friday. My question is could i be having pre-term labor?
My pains are:
bad lower abdomen pains, bad back achs, needing to go to the rest room a lot, painful tightening after peeing, also feeling like i have a UTI but having no blood or anything.

Could i be in pre-term??
Need to know.
Thank you!

sounds more like a UTI. Have you gone to the doctor?

Re: Rosie H

Well i ended up going to the hospital on a Wednesday and they thought that i had a kidney stone and then they kept me until Friday morning because we found out it's a kidney infection. And i've been on a lot of medicine. But while i was there i ended up having to false alarms. Now this Friday i'll be 30 weeks along.
