Avatar n tn Hey ladies I am 10w 5d first baby. I can't take the neusea anymore. I have been to the hospital twice not able to keep anything down. I am scared I'm not a strong enough person to handle this. I have never felt so sick and it doesn't go away. All that helps is to sleep. Any encouraging words for this first time mom?
Avatar f tn Im having a lot of contractions also but painless! I'm 38 weeks. I'm up since 3 am bcs with the contractions I have a very bad stomachache w nausea. Could I be in labor?!
Avatar f tn Why would they send me home of I'm having contractions every 3-5 minutes?
Avatar f tn So, lately I've been having contractions but their not long or strong enough to send me into labor.. They usually feel like mild menstrual cramps. I guess my questions is, will I know when the real ones come on.. Are they going to be so strong and painful that I won't be able to speak through them or move. Sorry, first time mommy here.
Avatar f tn t so strong at first just strong we enough for me not to sleep at all. I would pace back in fourth and get in the tub. Then once I calculated my contractions to be about 5 minutes apart I contacted my OB since it was already the morning. And she admitted me to labor and delivery. But if you feel something is wrong always go to er or call your on if they are opened.
Avatar f tn I have been having strong contractions since yesterday. Last night they were about 8 min apart and very intense and kept waking me up. I also lost my mucus plug. Called my My mid wife at about 3am, she told me to take a tylonal and try to get some sleep as they were not close enough together to head to hospital. She came and checked me today, checked to see of water broke - says it hasn't and that I am not dialated any more then a finger tip.
Avatar n tn It depends on many things.. Yesterday I was with contractions for over 6 hours, painful but not strong enough, so I didn't even bothered to call to my midwife and ask. Is it your first? For pain, take a shower!

Avatar f tn Im finally having contractions 3-4 minutes apart. They hurt but they arent strong enough yet. Any ideas on what i could do so they can get stronger?
8550901 tn?1400740690 breast stimulation also cause uterine contractions... spicy food is supposed to upset your digestive track to cause contractions (personally have not tried it)... long walks help the baby get lower by pushing the head down through the birth canal and help you dilate... Pineapple also helps ripen the cervix... hot baths will relax you, but not help with labor progression-- helps when your in active labor having contractions. ..
Avatar f tn Is it normal to experience braxton hicks every other day at only 24 weeks? They are strong but they are slightly painful... My mom said the issue is I'm not drinking enough water.. Could this be true?
Avatar n tn Its just braxton hicks contractions. Totally normal and they will increase as you get closer to your due date.
Avatar f tn I am measuring two weeks ahead, have been having contractions forever but no change in cervix, and she is not moving as much but when I do kick counts she still does her 10 movements within that time frame, it just takes her a bit longer. At first I thought for a couple days this week she was just being lazy but this is day 3 where it has gotten less and less. I have a doc appt Thursday and was going to bring it up to him then, just wanted your alls opinions and experiences with this? Thanks.

9768879 tn?1412696065 I'm a ftm, ill be 39w4d tomorrow and im 1 cm dialated. I've been in early Labor and having conractions since Monday afternoon, i went in to the hospital with contractions 3 minutes apart however they weren't strong enough to dialate me any more. I need some suggestions on what to try to dialate and efface more.. So far I've tried walking, pineapple, squats, and bouncing/rocking back and forth on the corner of the bed.
Avatar f tn I am 37 weeks pregnant, I have been to the hospital 3 times in the past month with strong stomach pains that lasts from 1-3 hours long! They are not contractions, its a constant pain, my back HURTS at the same time. The e.r. does not see anything wrong and they keep sending me home. Has anyone else experienced this? What could it be?
6588814 tn?1391015002 That Im gonna have my baby girl today! Ive been getting woke up by strong, not close together, contractions all night. Now I just feel different. And the contractions are different then the normally are.
Avatar f tn It way oo early for the little one to be here. My dr told me that if you can talk or walk threw the contractions they are not strong enough to do anything. However if u have any doubt go back to the hospital. If you are in labor they need to try and stop it. Its too early to have your little one.
Avatar f tn Its confusing because they say braxton hicks contractions come randomly nd are only in the front nd your stomach just gets really hard, I get those occasionally nd it just feels like he's in there doing a full body stretch, pushing his butt against my uterus nd my stomach gets really hard. But then, mainly after sex I get the menstrual cramping that starts from my back then goes to my front nd those will come 4mins apart. But my stomach won't get hard.
Avatar n tn Just worried that the contractions were that strong. BH shd not be that strong though and hardly painful. How are you today though?
