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
1287128 tn?1331134538 When I went into labor with both of my boys, my contractions were not painful until the midwife broke my water around 7-8cm. The only way I could really tell it was real labor was the consistency of the contractions and the pressure. I know everyone is different, but if they remain very consistent, I would think you are in labor or very very close!! I would wait another hour and if the timing stays regular or gets closer, I would go in. Can't hurt to be checked!!!
Avatar f tn They can be painful for some people. The rule of thumb is 4 or more contractions (BH or not) go to emerge or call your doctor.
Avatar f tn I'm 39 weeks and have yet to feel one painful contraction, I'm really nervous that I'm not going to know when I'm in labor since I haven't felt anything painful yet, I don't even know what contractions are supposed to feel like other than the tightening I feel from Braxton Hicks. Or if I get painful contractions and think I'm in labor then I get sent home because I'm not...
Avatar f tn Im 33 wks and mine have been painful yet irregular already too.
6363715 tn?1394225781 I do have a high pain tolerence but i feel like there not contractions cause every one says there so extreme. Ots totally possible for them to not be very painful tho right?
Avatar f tn Orgasm can cause contractions. Drink some water and lay on your left side. It should ease up.
9827649 tn?1410039233 I'm 33 weeks & I'm having painful, irregular contractions. What should I do?
Avatar f tn Irregular and extremely painful contractions would have my midwife telling me to come in. Have you tried calling? And like pp said, a hot shower could ease but be careful!
Avatar f tn ive been getting braxon hicks since 21on weeks, but ive also had real contractions too. Braxon hicks dont really hurt, you can just feel a tiggtening and if you touch your tummy itll feel harder.
7530804 tn?1398546771 the BH I had at 24 & 26 did hurt.. they wrapped around into my back & I did NOT want to move. I of course brought this up to my OB, and he said it was definitely normal. I've had a few since then (I'm 29w4d now) & they've not been painful again, yet, but obviously noticeable. I think they're just like anything else.. it's different for everybody.. to say they're not painful is an opinion.
Avatar f tn Im almost 37 weeks and ive only had braxton hicks contractions this is my first pregnancy and im not really sure when or if im supposed to feel real contractions and what they will feel like will I only feel the real ones when im in labor or what??
Avatar f tn The general rule is 4-1-1. Contractions 4 minutes apart lasting 1 minute for 1 hour is when it's time to go to labor. A lot of people don't lose their mucus plug and most people actually have their water broken by their doctor. Contractions aren't painful for everyone. My water broke on its own and I didn't even feel tightenings, but contractions were coming up on the monitor.
Avatar f tn I'm 39 wks and 1 day and I'm still not dilating. I'm having intense contractions but nothing. Its becoming extremely painful.
7171901 tn?1396208243 My due date is jan 19. I had contractions for 12+ hours but they were not painful just really uncomfortable my doctor said to come in if they were regular and sharp or painful. They eventually went away now ive been in bed for 3 days in so much hip andback pain with random cramps but nothing consistant. I think our time is coming soon for labor but there is no way to know if its coming tomorrow or in a week or two.
2112967 tn?1339022368 com I came to the conclusion it was my mucus plug) and since then I have been having more painful contractions (they started becoming a little more *regular* about a week and a half ago) and now pretty much anytime I stand up or straighten out it feels like sharp pains shooting through my pelvic area (around where my legs connect to it). I am not sure what is going on as of now and am slightly concerned cause I am a high risk pregnancy.
Avatar n tn They started out as uncomfortable, but now they are a little painful. I have tried everything to make them stop and nothing works. I get the feeling that my Midwives don't believe me and it's getting to me. My mother is a raving lunatic because she's never heard of anything like this before. Has anyone???
7058746 tn?1393435420 They were regular.. i drank water n laid down per Dr.. fell asleep an hr ago just woke up. My stomach is sore like it went through hell.
4499377 tn?1373555885 So I talked to my doctor and he says that they are real contractions but not labor contractions?? Is this possible? (I guess I assume it is because my doctor said so, but it seems so unreal!) Has anyone else had this? If so, how long did you have to deal with these really painful contractions that last quite a long while but then disappear back into BH contractions?
Avatar f tn I was having contractions every 5 minutes apart some were very painful others were not so I decided not to go. I am currently 38 weeks 5 days pregnant and if he doesn't come before thursday I am going to be induced at 7:30 am. Kinda hope he comes on his own but I don't think he will. What helped me was hot showers on my back and drink a lot of water to try and calm the baby down. Put your feet up and try not to do too much as this can cause more pressure and more contractions.
