How do I know if I'm in labor?

I'm 13 and almost 8 months pregnant. I've been having stomach pains all day, but now the pains are almost unbearable. I've never been good with pain, but anyways, how do I know if I'm in labor or if it's just part of my pregnancy?

NikkiRose99, if your pains are unbearable, it's time to go to the ER. Don't listen to what AshleyMcarthur said!

I think your water has to break first before you go into labour

Not necessarily. Mine didn't!

It doesn't have to. With all three of my kids, the doctor had to break it.

@Everybodyhurts, everyone kept telling me to wait. I only went through this once, so they kept telling me, "You'll know. It's when your water breaks." I finally went to the hospital and I was far enough along that I wasn't allowed out of bed!

Report as
Me too. Mine didn't break either until almost 6 cm

Water does not have to break first. Sounds like you're in labor. Go to the hospital NOW!!!!

It could be time.... but how many pregnant 13 year olds who think they may be in labor.. is going to set up an ask.com account (and ask their first question) to ask strangers if she is in labor?
BTW.....welcome to ask.com
