Question
I'm nearly nine months pregnant and have been having labor-like pains for quite a while now. I wonder if I should go to the doctor's because I have been bleeding a lot, as well. I am only 15 years old, so I am scared to tell anyone. What should I do?
Answer
Please go to the hospital ASAP. Bleeding suggests something is wrong, although the labor pains frequently happen before the actual labor starts - they are like practice.
