yes. labor to me felt just like period cramps. i did not even recognize it was labor, got to the hospital 30 minutes before my daughter was born. no time for the epidural so i would not recommend waiting until the last minute to go to the hospital.

According to my doctor this is just your body preparing to give birth - the cramping could be helping the baby to descend lower into your pelvis, and helping your cervix to keep dilating.

I am 39 weeks also, 1 cm dilated as of yesterday, and having the same symptoms.

If they get progressively stronger, your water breaks, or you begin getting distinct contractions that are coming at a regular interval, go get checked.

Otherwise be happy that your body is doing some of the work it needs to with just minor cramping - much better than having to make all this progress in labor!

Good luck to you - we're almost there!

I would get to an emergency room if I were you, especially if this is your first child.

What if I am 50 percent effaced and 30 weeks pregnant can they stop labor?

Yes, they will give you a large dose of magnesium which works as a muscle relaxer to stop your labor, then they will give you a smaller continuous dose to prevent you from going back into labor. I was 30 weeks pregnant, 3cm dilated and 80% effaced and they were very successful in stopping my labor.
