Avatar f tn Newbie here to the forum but not to pregnancy. Im on my 4 th child but dont remember if what im feeling are contractions or not. Ive not had "normal" contractions before. Ill describe this ....Stomach gets tight but not at a noticable pattern. I have had 3 days of loose stools and now feel constipated... Dr said not to worry til contractions are normal and closer together but i dont know. Yes i know better to be safe than sorry and go get checked.

Avatar f tn I know you are ready and it is painful but this way you will know for sure that the pains you are feeling are contractions and that you are making progress even if it may still be some weeks yet. You don't know unless you go in.
Avatar f tn I think that the contractions help move baby into position as well as down the birth canal.
7249862 tn?1392252689 This is my second and I still don't really know what contractions feel like. My water started leaking, but I still kind of knew then something wasn't right. So just go with your gut feeling. Either way, if your worried go get checked, that's their job!
Avatar f tn How do you know when your having contractions ? This is my first pregnancy. And I have been feeling pressure below my belly button and I'm having lots of back pain.
Avatar f tn I'm the same way. I'm 40w and the pain in my pelvic area are crazy but my doctor said that's not contractions and those are normal pains.
Avatar f tn I'm 38 weeks and 3 days. Sometimes I have pain in my unterus especially when I walk or when I'm sitting for a while and get up. I'm just wondering how do contractions feel? This is my first baby. And I honestly don't know how it feels. Does every ones contractions feel the same? And then people say how far are they apart. How exactly do you time them? I feel like an idiot for not knowing any of this but this is first time being pregnant And no one talks to me about this.
323702 tn?1217775973 Hello ladies. Well today I haven't been feeling very well. I feel silly asking cause I've had 3 children and still dont know when the contractions start. Today I have been feeling nauseated and having to go to the BR all day. Also I have been having this painful back pain that had been coming and going all day and my belly gets rock hard and it feels crampy and hurts. Its been coming and going all day. I can't get comfotable.
Avatar f tn with real labor contractions your stomach will really tighten up hard with the pains and they will become regular and closer together but trust me you will know..
Avatar f tn I know right... i have contractions all the time an sometimes i feel them but more often i dont... its weird... i wish i could tell better, the ones i feel have to be stronger i guess cause sometimes they r painful... i also feel them in my back.
Avatar f tn I'm the very same! I know I wasn't getting labour contractions but not sure if I was getting braxton hicks or not!
6363715 tn?1394225781 Just went thru this last night went to the hospital because I was have contractions every 4-5 mins but sent me home bcuz im not dilated. You'd know if you were having contractions your whole tummy tightens up and it almost feels like period cramps while your stomach tightens up usually can last anywhere from 30 seconds to 60 seconds.
219836 tn?1213543852 I am not sure if they are contractions. I have them like every 5 minutes or so. Also all day today I been having a clear discharge with a little red on it I don't know what that could mean. ANy suggestions or answers? I won't be seeing the doctor until tomorrow but it wont be my doctor since she was put on bed rest due to complications with her pregnancy which I did not know until today.
Avatar f tn Thats called braxton hicks,its fake contractions i go thru it too
7801868 tn?1395885718 Will you know when your contractions get stronger/closer? I didnt even know i was contracting until they hooked me up to a monitor today. Im 1 cm dilated and 38+5. Im scared that since i didnt notice these ones until earlier when i saw them, i wont know when to go to the hospital.
Avatar f tn and finally with my fourthit started with contractions this may be a little trickier for the first time moms since towarda the end of your pregnancy you will feel contractions which are not labor contractions....if you feel a contraction start timing it..labor contractions come in the same interval and they don't go away....non labor contractions are irregular and you don't have to stop doing what you're doing...labor xontractions will stop you in your tracks...
383536 tn?1225030613 s water breaks before getting to the hospital. Well then how do you know its time? i know the contractions and what not. But how do you know what a contraction is if its your first? And if i had a miscarriage before 12wks would that effect when this baby will come? I am so confused. I know i have awhile to get yet cuz i am only 22wks 5 days...but you know i need answers. Oh and when do you start getting Braxton hicks? what do they feel like?
Avatar f tn Normal contractions do not stop they increase in intensity. Braxton hicks come and go that is what it sounds like. Losing your mucous plug doesn't necessarily mean your in labor or going to be anytime soon, in fact it can regenerate. You could call the Dr though and see what they say.
4728986 tn?1361251576 For the past few days I've been having contractions that have been at a regular pace along with period like cramps and back pain.along with pelvic pain. My water hasn't broken. I'm 32 weeks going on 33. not sure what's going on, has any one else had this?
Avatar n tn I don't ever remember getting Braxton hicks this early with my daughter but I do remember going into preterm labor somewhere around 28-30 weeks.. I just wish I could remember what a contraction felt like so I'd know whether to go in or not.
2112967 tn?1339022368 I'm around 37 weeks and 3 days and have been having contractions (very irregular and infrequent) for the past 5 weeks, as of about 3 weeks ago my OB told me I was 60% effaced but the cervix was still closed, as of a week later my OB told me I was still about 60% effaced but was now 1cm dilated (and the baby's head was further down than the previous week).
