contractions not normal

Normal I never had Braxton hicks with my first two kids but I had a episode at 32 weeks so I would say normal

Yes I've been drinking lots of water and eating healthy.

Cramping is normal. Your uterus is growing. As long as it's not constant, unbearable, and there's no bleeding you're fine. I always had more cramps after sex. Orgasm causes uterine contractions, which is what you're feeling. No need to worry, it's normal.

Yes it is for the first few months some people still have menstrual cramps when there period is due. I did until the second trimester. As long as you are not bleeding or passing any clots and it's only happening when AF would have been due I wouldn't be to concerned. If your too worried call your doctor it never hurts to check.

Theyre stronger than my normal braxton hicks but theyre not getting stronger unfortunately

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.

Its normal

Is it normal for contractions to get really close to gather for hours then slowly become further apart then slowly go back to being close togather? All night from 10 to 5 Am they where 10 min apart then slowly. Got far apart now at 30 min and getting shorter.

Ok so I'm 38 weeks and according to my OB I am 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced sorry if that's TMI… but I've been in and out of the hospital 3 times because of strong regular contractions that have been non stop since last Tuesday but they haven't made anything progress. This morning my lower back mainly my hips hurt and through out the day it got progressively worse.

I asked my doctor he said it is normal but I don't want to be having contractions and me not knowing it's hard knowing what's real and what's not especially if your a ftm ; (

Me too! I went in at 30 weeks for painful contractions that had to be stopped .. But now I'm 36 weeks & have had painful BH & also the diarrhea.

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.

m only 35 weeks but let me clarify just for you. Is it normal not to have felt any Braxton Hicks contractions (which they are contractions) this far into my pregnancy...

With my second child, and iv been getting alot of pains in my stomach (everywere) so hard that i cant even move sometimes...not sure if there contractions or wat but my whole stomach tightens up....

Last night and today I have had severe back pain with mild contractions every 10-15 minutes. My mom said that was exactly how her labour with me way until her water broke 7 hours later. My water hasn't broke but I have been losing pieces of my plus. I don't know if I should be going to the hospital or just let this take its course and see what happens?

It definitely could be contractions. A few weeks ago I was taking a nap and I was woken out of my sleep by painful contractions. They stopped after about 2 hours and weren't consistent... your body might just naturally labor in the hips.
