The pain are very similar to those of period cramp.it best for u to go to the emegency room to get checked out mostly if you are pass do.

If ur water breaks u are ready for labor but don't go waiting till that happens because some times thing go rong done mean to alarm u but if the pain are minitues apart ur cervix is jus gettin ready to deliver a baby.U'll have pains as well in ur vagina feelin like if u also have to do number 2 if u know wat I mean.

The pain are goin to be stronger as u start gettin more contractions.the best thing to do is walk so u can start openin centermitires but go get check out it better to go find out then wait till later.

Good luck on ur delivery hope u have a beautiful healthy babii congrats.

At your age it is very common for you to have fake labor pains. Your body and uterus are not ready to have a baby so you are going to be more uncomfortable. Talk to your doctor and also you will know when you are in labor.

Tisha-1 agony auntSweetie, if you are the 13-15 year old girl who asked about fever and strep throat, you really do need to see your doctor to ask these questions. Do please make a list of all your questions.

From the webmd.com website: "Your health care provider is available any time to answer your questions and to ease your concerns about whether or not your contractions are signs of true or false labor. Don't be afraid to call your provider if you are not sure what it is you are feeling. He or she may ask you some questions to help determine if you are truly in labor. If there's any question at all, it's better to be evaluated by your health care provider."
