contractions

Avatar f tn I am 34 weeks pregnant, doctor told me yesterday that my cervix was very thin for 34 weeks and today I have noticed cervical pain that has gotten worse throughout the day and now I am able to time the pain every 15 minutes. I don't think they are contractions though. The pain is a little bit above my pubic bone and just feels like a sharp pain for about 5 seconds and then stops. I also noticed that I had spotted once while going #1 but the blood was only on the toilet paper.
Avatar f tn Yesterday around 4pm I started having contractions every 10 minutes, around 8 I started having them every two minutes and went to the hospital to confirm I was having regular strong contractions every two minutes lasting a minute to a minute and a half each, they discharged me at 6 this morning because I wasn't dilating but in STILL having contractions every two minutes and they are still strong as ever!!!
Avatar f tn I have been having contractions every 10 minutes since last night. I went to maternity services and of course they stopped. The doctor is not too worried but now it feels like it's constantly cramping and it occasionally gets worse. I've taken 3 baths today and that helps a bit but when I get out the cramping comes back. Any ideas to help with this pain?
Avatar f tn I'm 39 weeks and in the past half hour have had a Braxton hicks every couple minutes each lasting about a minute ? Does this mean anything ?
Avatar f tn Been experiencing light contractions every 5-10 minutes for the past hour but not really that painfull... should I be worried.... is this the start of labour???
5251716 tn?1365719074 How are things going now?? My contractions with my first baby took a few hours to go from 7 minutes to every 3 minutes, hopefully it'll be faster for you! Good luck girly!!
10216428 tn?1408618980 Im 38 and im having contractions every 5ish minutes lasting a minute. The thing is that they dont hurt. I just feel my tummy get tight and thats it. But doctor told me to come in if they were that often.. but if they dont hurt should i still go in?!
Avatar f tn Anyone else have to go pee every 20 minutes? I just get comfortable in bed and I have to go again! And when I drink a lot of water I end up going every 5 to 10 minutes no joke!
Avatar f tn Keep an eye on it. ... They usually do start every half hour and t then decrease to every 15-20,10 minutes, etc. If they're getting more painful, longer and closer together you know it's the real deal. Good luck and best wishes!
Avatar f tn If they're not consistently coming every 10-15 minutes then it's probably Braxton hicks. Labor contractions are consistent and won't stop if you stand up and walk around or take a bath. If they keep coming and get stronger and closer together you could definitely be in early labor (: good luck!
Avatar n tn I had something similar happen except my little one decided to break my water 15 minutes before they were to be sending me home, 5 hours and 15 minutes later I had a 7 lbs 19 3/4 inch bundle of joy in my arms

5615074 tn?1378316840 I had the easiest labor ever with my daughter. I didn't feel them until they were a minute apart, and only got half the dose of IV pain meds closer to pushing. I have been having contractions that actually hurt now but they aren't anywhere near close together probably 15-20 minutes apart. Is there anything I can do to get some relief? I can't take a bath because my daughter will want in lol.
Avatar f tn Only if they get stronger and are timed evenly apart. For example you have one every 10 minutes apart or every 5 min. Apart. If it's on and off and one is 20 min. Then next is 10in. Then 15 apart.
3105573 tn?1355979465 Contractions very consistant for over an hour plus lower back pain about 5 minutes apart. pain only 2-3 on scale. Breathing and heart rate increase with contractions. Should i call hosp?
Avatar f tn You'll know if it's real deal contractions if you time them. If they come every 10 minutes and not every 10, then 15, 20, then it's false labor. Try drinking water and laying on your left side and timing them.
Avatar f tn We decided to head over to the hospital 30 minutes away and contractions were still every 5 minutes. Once at the hospital my contractions came every 10 minutes disappointed that they had gotten far apart I still registered in labor and delivery. They monitored me or 20 minutes and contraction stoped I was so upset because they stopped i thought it was false labor again. The nurse came in to see how dilated I was and all she said was "oh, no we can't let you go your 6 centimeters.

Avatar f tn Depends how far ur hospital is but I wouldn't go till ur in establish labour. Contractions every 10-15 mins otherwise they might send u home.

2177836 tn?1355173877 ve been having tight sharp pains on and off since yesterday at 11am. They lasted all day about every 30 minutes till 2am and finally stopped. Started again at 6 am for about an hour and than stopped. started once again at 9 and had them about every 15 minutes, the last couple of ones were times at 10:49, 10:53, 10:58, and 11:08. I get up and walk around to see if they go away but I still feel them while walking or even standing.
Avatar f tn I have been getting contractions daily as well and am 36 weeks and 4 days. They last for a few hours and are anywhere from 15 to 8 minutes apart and are somewhat painful, but haven't progressed yet, so I think its just our bodies preparing for labor.
Avatar f tn The protocol is go in when they are consistently every 3-5 minutes apart but if theyve benn 6 minutes consistently for 3 hours now, you should call L&D now.
