contractions

Avatar f tn Just go to the hospital some hospitals will let u walk around for a hour to see if you progress and they will admit you if you do since your so close and your contractions might get stronger while walking good luck =-)
Avatar f tn Go to L&D, if your having contractions!
8550901 tn?1400740690 I'm 36+1 and I get them too... they feel like a really painful menstrual cramp along with the typical tightening of the stomach. I asked my dr about it and they said it's Braxton hicks. Although the pain is very real. .. they aren't considered real contractions until they begin getting stronger and closer together... like every 5 minutes on the dot.
Avatar f tn My boyfriend has completely ignored me throughout this whole pregnancy. doesn't hold me (without me asking him too) doesn't fall asleep with me anymore, doesn't have sex with me anymore. (But has time to masterbate to other girls pictures and hasn't truly said why he doesn't want sex with me anymore.. it's always an excuse.) Tonight he got upset and usually I care to find out what's bothering him. But I truly don't care at all.
7868606 tn?1410358984 So today I noticed that my contractions were definitely getting stronger. Not regular amd numerous enough to go in. As im only 35 weeks. But they are getting stronger. I guess I'm gettin prepared. Are yalls gettin stronger too?
7892775 tn?1395673991 I'd probably go back to l&d. Sometimes you can progress quickly. While laboring in the hospital I was 4 cm, it took me a while to get there with being induced. They told me, my baby's surgeon, and the nicu staff it would still be a few hours before anything happened. I pushed my son out only 30 minutes later. Just saying, listen to your body. If contractions are getting stronger and are remaining constant or getting more frequent, they shouldn't turn you away.
Avatar f tn t go to the hospital until they get strong enough to take my breath away.is there a way to get these contractions stronger and progress labor?
Avatar f tn Some women feel contractions like cramps all day until they get stronger and closer together, other women ( like me) wake up in the middle of the night and their water breaks or you feel strong contractions that are really close together and getting stronger!!! Mine stated at 4 minutes apart and pretty strong and only increased from there until I was in so much pain I was puking less than 3 hours later!!!
Avatar f tn I've had labor both ways. And in my opinion the only difference with being induced is the contractions are stronger, like no joke stronger. Other then that I didn't not a difference. I was induced with my first and had an epidural, with my second it was all natural from beginning to end.
Avatar n tn So I'm having what my midwives think are BH contracts; however they they don't act like anything any of the articles say they are. These this started four weeks ago and don't go away, They started off light and got closer together but didn't get stronger until the next week, where they jump further apart and throughout the week get closer together. The following week they did the same thing (jumped further apart, grown stronger and then got closer together).
Avatar f tn I don't attempt to push on my stomach cuz my BH contractions hurt and the closer to my due date the stronger they feel. They are irregular and so I know they aren't the real thing.
Avatar f tn I'm due in 6 days and since 2am today I have been having VERY bad stomach pain it's kept me awake. It's been getting stronger & closer together also. Are these contractions? Should I go in? I'm so miserable right now but hate going in unless it's absolutely necessary.
Avatar f tn Ive been having contractions for 48hrs now, getting stronger and around 10 mins apart...been to the labour ward and was told nothing was happening down below. The contractions are defo getting stronger but not no more regular, then was told today it 'could be' early stages of labour and to wait it out....... HELP!!!! cant do this for much longer am in pain!!!! trying my best to keep active and moving but i damn hurts! Any advice????
Avatar f tn I was induced and hated it. But its different for everyone. The contractions come on harder and stronger because the medicine is forcing you to have them.
Avatar f tn She had me go home and get my stuff. I got to hospital at 6. Started me on pitocin to get my contractions stronger.
Avatar f tn Yep mine has been doing that for the past 2 weeks and I'm 37 weeks.. I'm not sure if it is a problem I always figured it was a good thing.
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
Avatar f tn t that bad but now they are only getting stronger...
Avatar f tn Theyre stronger than my normal braxton hicks but theyre not getting stronger unfortunately
Avatar f tn s movements have gotten stronger not painful yet, but definitely not able to be ignored like before. Im definitely past the "popcorn" phase. Anyone else noticed this ?
7249862 tn?1392252689 m gonna be going to the hospital shortly real contractions are five mines apart they get stronger and stronger if there five mins apart for one hour and there getting more painful it's the real deal braxton hicks are irregular and usually will stop if you lay on your left side or drink water congratulations btw =-)
Avatar f tn I keep getting really intense tightening as they start to fade off it gets stronger. They are still bearable. After the tightening I get a mild cramp like period cramp and then lower backache. Is anyone else having this? I've got nine days left to go.
Avatar f tn My braxton hicks got stronger and stronger the closer I got to the due date. They were pretty uncomfortable. Labor contractions can vary person to person but generally will be a lot of pain. I describe as very strong period type cramp that is very localized.
Avatar f tn Maybe they are just not strong enough. My poor sister had contractions for almost a week about 7minutes apart. Hers didn't get stronger enough until the day she delivered my niece.
Avatar f tn Hi guys I'm getting really bad period like cramps is that what contractions feel like?
