contractions keep stopping

So I'm dilated 4 80% and -1 but my contractions keep stopping its so fusterating

I started having irregular but moderately intense contractions. Then throughout Monday my contractions almost waned completely. Then around 11 PM. They started up and I went to the hospital around 2 30 Am on Tuesday when the contractions were 5 min apart for 1 hour. Had him at 9 40 am Tuesday. Yeah your little one may very well be coming within a day or so.:).

) And It made me very shaky and made the babies heart rate go up (doctors will explain them both being side affects) but it helped my contractions slow down then they stopped. Talk to your doctors about stopping your contractions, good luck!!!

My labour was like this with my daughter ( shes 4 now ) and when i explained to my midwife about my contractions stopping and starting,she advised me to eat lol....apparently it does something to your uterus and helps it contract. Even if you dont fancy eating big meals hun,eat picky bits.....it worked for me,contractions came thick and fast at 11.30pm and she was born 1.07am so it might be worth ago.

Could just be Braxton Hicks contractions! Your body's way of preparing you for the REAL labor pains. I am 33 weeks along and have experienced some of these. Let me tell you, they can be painful. Especially if this is your first pregnancy and you're not sure what to expect. My best friend is 34 weeks along and she's been having Braxton Hicks since around the same time as you. Every pregnancy is different. Best of luck to you!

Right before I went to go to bed I had some bad cramping in lower abdomen. I went to relieve myself and turns out to be diarea ( sorry about tmi) so after fell asleep for about 45 min then woke up horrible cramping and pain top of belly I though it was because my stomach and BM seem to be off tonight. But now the pain is coming and going and even after a hot shower and cold glass of water it's not stopping. Could this be contractions? I thought you felt contractions lower belly.

Iv been having constant contractions for about four hours now. Prayers for labor would be greatly appreciated!?! Iv been having issues with them stopping after a while lol im 38weeks and ready!

How far are you?

You could be dehydrated which will keep the BH from stopping. Pressure is very normal at this point. I find I don't pee as often either even though everything says it should be more. Try drinking more, and if the pressure is bad you can take Tylenol or a warm bath.

no harm going to hospital to check how far dilated you are and they can also see if it is contractions or not, but they say its not labour until contractions are like few mins apart, but if theres pressure then that could be real contractions..plus you are 39weeks, okay to have a baby now... just go check it out... no water break?

i hope they dont stop hun! i was having contractions for a week but they kept stopping. but the good thing was when i went into labor and they went to break my waters i was already 9cm!

Okay so this morning i have clear stickiness when i wiped ever since that ive been having menstrual cramps ever 2/3 min apart usually when i have the contractions it'll go away but for some reason these contractions aren't going away im getting them alot but im just guessing im dilating more...

) keep in mind after 27 weeks 9 out of 10 babies survive birth, I went into preterm at 32 weeks, dilated to a 2 within an hr and had contractions ever 2-3 min and they put me on meds, bed rest and pelvic rest till 36 weeks, but if you stress you will make it worse, that's what caused mine so just keep your head up they can stop labor most of the time just keep calm.

i remained in bed and drank my water and had about 3-4 more of the sharp stabbing pains in my vagina but no more contractions. after an hour of laying in bed and no contractions i decided to get up and start doing things (dishes, laundry...etc.) while bouncing back and fourth to the computer ..the usual. that brings me to now...i just had two more painful (but not too painful) ones 20ish seconds long...10 minutes apart. and now one more as i am typing about 16 minutes after the last one.

At least you're having contractions. All I get is BH! I've been 3 cm for weeks and 80% effaced since my appointment Tuesday. I'm due Saturday. No signs of labor.

m trying to make the same decision myself. I work with toddlers on a good day only 3 bad day up to 6. Trying to keep up with them all day is tiring then I get no help with daily duties. I'm stressed at work and home so I really want to quit right now at 32 weeks. But hopefully these ladies can help you make a decision & also me.

I think i might be having contractions 2 months early, but i'm not sure, what do i do to figure out?

Why did they want 2 stop ur contractions??..thatd what makes u dialate....

I keep contracting but nothing is happening. They are becoming painful but not enough to go to the hospital. They don't seem regular. I can't go to the hospital because Hubby has to go to work. We can't afford for this to be a false alarm...

m just bummed out that i have to keep going through these pains and im not dilated at all! They keep stopping my contractions but im tired of going in for hurting so bad just to get brethne shots! I just wish they would make up their minds and come or stop with the contractions! I want to see them so bad!

No I was having contractions for a month before having my son and they kept stopping them being too early and then at 36+5 had more still stopping them and it took me 31hrs to fully dilate but only with the help of ptocin

Ftm here and I'm getting contractions that feel much different than the braxton hicks I've been getting before. These are a bit more intense and include cramping and sometimes back pain but they keep stopping after a while. I'm so frustrated and confused about what to do. Every now and then I'll get a slightly wet feeling in my undies and I'll check but it's nothing. How am I ever going to figure out when it's the real thing?
