Severe Back Pain, Periods Like Cramps In Lower Abdomen. Having Regular Labor Contractions. Reason?

I am 38 weeks 3days. For the last 5 days I ve been having regular labor contractions that last approximately 30 seconds and are 3-4 minutes apart. I also am having major back pain and I m having a constant period like cramp in my lower abdomen that s doesn t go away. I ve been to the hospital 4 times and they ve sent me home each time. I m dilated 2cm and 70% effaced. Any information...because I am full term I just need something done to help me dilate?

hello,
You are carrying 38 wk plus pregnancy and presents with true labor pain. Cervix is also dilated 2 cm with 70% effaced. So you are near about to deliver your baby.
In this time,back pain,lower abdominal pain are quite common and originating from uterine contraction.
It is emergency situation.So contact with your doctor/local hospital to admit immediately for safe delivery of the baby.
Wish you for successful mother.
