Common Questions and Answers about Contractions but not dilated

contractions

Avatar f tn I am 41 weeks pregnant on monday 27th april and i have to get induced on monday. My cervix has not dilated one bit and im -3 as of yesterday, but this morning when i woke up, i noticed a thick little White discharge with some brown/blood in it... it wasnt alot just a small little glob. Can your mucus plug start to come out when you arent even dilated? Should i go to the hospital or just wait it out? Im having no contractions that i know of.... im a first time mommy so im a little confused.
Avatar f tn Hi, I had an interesting Saturday evening. I started getting contractions all day saturday. It was uncomfortable but not painful. We were out with friends for dinner and I started timing these and I had 7 contractions in an hour. I called my Ob and I was told to stay with my feet up and drink a litre of water. We were done with dinner so I am sure the restaurant would not have wanted us to hang around for an hour with my feet up.

Avatar f tn The samething happened to me I was 38 weeks and 2 days. I was only 1 cm dilated but I had strong contractions that were 5 min apart.
Avatar f tn Not really.
Avatar f tn Went to the doctor today at 36+6. Not dilated, babygitl is still high. But when I got home and had to pee maybe 3 times, my mucous plug was steadily coming out. What is the likelihood that labor is near? No contractions yet but I had some light spotting and have been doing exercises on my fitness/stability ball.
Avatar f tn I keep having contractions about 5-10 min apart but they are not to painful they are stronger the the bh ones I was having not sure if I should call to go in or wait and see if they get stronger
6088943 tn?1381725210 No not really. I am 35 weeks and 50 percent thin but not dilated. You can be thin out and dilated and still not go into labor. It could be days or weeks everyone is different. How many weeks are you.
4499377 tn?1373555885 So I talked to my doctor and he says that they are real contractions but not labor contractions?? Is this possible? (I guess I assume it is because my doctor said so, but it seems so unreal!) Has anyone else had this? If so, how long did you have to deal with these really painful contractions that last quite a long while but then disappear back into BH contractions?
Avatar f tn I've been having contractions for the past two days & yesterday I went to the hospital & they gave me a shot to slow them down, but I'm not dilated at all but when they checked me they could feel my babies head down there already. Anyone else have this going on or know if its a sign of labor coming on. BTW. I'm only 28 weeks.
Avatar f tn But when they checked my cervix they said I was open but not dilated enough to be admitted into the hospital so they send me home. Well I'm still having contractions,slightly stronger then the ones I had before I feel like I have a fever & my head is hurting. I don't know what to do to help get things going or ease the pain it's been 10 hours of constant contractions :( My due date is on Monday. Is anyone else going throught the same thing or has gone through this before?
Avatar f tn I thought for sure it was labor because with my first I had contractions for three days 5 minutes apart and mildly painful but only dilated a cm a day until they admitted me at 3 cm and the rest of my labor took over 12 hours. This time I didn't want to be in the hospital that long so I waited it out tried to sleep, walked my treadmill and kept busy but the third day this time they went away and I didn't dilate at all!!
Avatar f tn Is it normal to be dilated to a 2, but not be having contractions? Im in the hospital because im 32+2 and my little baby believes he's ready so their trying to make sure he gets the shots he needs.
Avatar f tn I went in for my ob check today and my contractions are consistently 5 minutes apart and have been for 5 hours now. I am not dilated at all yet though. They are mild contractions like braxton hicks but are relentless. My ob sent me home and said everything is fine for now. I guess Im just confused on where I'm at. Has anyone else had this happen?? I didnt realize contractions could be so frequent and NOT be considered labor. Its still so early and I'm scared. Will they let up?
Avatar n tn Mine were 3-5 minutes apart with smaller not as strong ones inbetween but when she checked my cervix I was only 1cm dilated. She told me maybe tonight or within the next few days.....three days of contractions has me completely worn out!
Avatar f tn So this is my second pregnancy and I remember having pain labour with my daughter BUT I don't remember it being this bad. I've already gotten to the shot to stop contractions and they said I'm only finger tip dilated. But the contractions are back and painful.
Avatar f tn i was having contractions before and after yes. they hospitalized me around 3am when i was 3cm dilated. around 8am they checked me again and sent me to shower so i could go into labor and delivery. at that time i was having really strong and close contractions. after my shower they took me to L and D and checked me again aand decided to break my water for me. then they left me alone and BAM!!! an amazing urge to push took hold and jude was born.
Avatar f tn I ended up going to the hospital last night after not sleeping for two days due to painful contractions and they told me I was still only dilated to a one. I was extremely frustrated and upset by this. They said my baby is head down but "spinning" so he's not causing enough downward pressure for me to dilate. Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do to help yourself dilate? How long did it take you to progress?
Avatar f tn Im 34+2 weeks and not dilated at all but am getting contractions, i guess meaning that I could start dilating any day now or not at all
4459975 tn?1360114539 Sadly no :( I'm 35 weeks and have felt braxton hicks....no dilation though. I'm due March 8th, hoping its sooner though! Good luck!
Avatar f tn My first pregnancy I never felt contractions until I went into labor and I never dilated past a 1 but my son came on his own two days after his due date. I remember going to a drs appt and her telling me I was having a contraction but I never did feel anything. This time around I feel every single one of them.
