contractions

Avatar f tn My cervex is dilated to 1 1/2 and have been having really strong contractions. He put me on nifedical to stop the contractions and my question is...Will I continue to dilate even though i'm on the medicine or do contractions and dilating go hand in hand?
Avatar f tn Spicy foods and walking/swimming and cleaning. None of it has seemed to work like I start getting menstrual cramps but that's about it. Although my Braxton hicks have gotten more intense so I'm hoping that's something.
Avatar f tn m gonna pop him out. Around 1230pm today u started getting the contractions again. I hope this is the beginning and get decided to put me in active labor today!
Avatar f tn I was induced with my first using cervadil (the IV medication is Pitocin, and there is also a gel but I can't remember what it's called). It was less than 24 hours total for me; I went in at 9 pm (no sign of labor - I was overdue) on a Monday, and my daughter was born at 7:09 pm Tuesday. I did not get the epidural and I did deliver vaginally. It definitely hurt, but I haven't done a fully natural birth (yet!) so I can't say if it really is worse.
Avatar f tn I hurd that nipple stimulation can cause contractions. Im 37 weeks with my first.
4310181 tn?1357690214 I was just wondering if anyone has used one and if it has worked and how long you did it for? I have been in labor for 4 days and my contractions are close and strong but I'm not dilating and my doc said to try nipple stimulation but I forgot to ask what I am supposed to do. So any help is appreciated.
Avatar f tn Ok so I'm 39wks and tonight I've gotten absolutely NO SSLEEP. My lower back has been hurting along with my vagina to the point I can't turn onto either side with out alot of pain. Everything in my body actually feels tight. I'm using the bathroom none stop and experiencing some diarrhea. Baby has been also moving alot which isn't really normal after a certain time of night. I know I haven't felt any contractions but I want to know if labor is near. Is this normal??
905197 tn?1282232033 ll be able to see your belly harden if it really is contractions. If you think you are having them, call your doctor and they will advise you. Good luck!!!
7519155 tn?1391560314 Yesterday morning around 4 am I started having Braxton hicks. I eased the pain by using an exercise ball and took a warm bath around 8 am. I couldn't get comfortable so I went to my doc office at 10 am to get checked. To my surprise I was actually in real labor! She could feel my bag of water and I was 9.5 centimeters dilated just walking around. My contractions were not very painful, they just felt like menstrual cramps only a bit more intense pain wise.
Avatar f tn I did with my second pregnancy, nothing until my water broke at midnight went right to the hospital and i asked but they told me i was going to fast by time it kicks in ill already be holding my baby, and this lady is right. Pushing hurts like no other!!! Burns so badly but it went quick. What ppl didn't tell me is after birth. When using the bathroom. Its burn like no other as well.
Avatar f tn after a false alarm , but same day yesterday around 6pm I was getting stronger contractions , they fell so painful they were comming every 5 minutes . I went to L&D and they told me I was already 6 cm dilated with really painful contractions , we got there at 7 pm at 9:29pm November 28,2014 my baby was born !!.everything went so fast I tought of using pain medication for those horrible contractions but It was all goin to fast I have a medication free delivery .
Avatar f tn So its normal to have contractions every timei have a bm? That doesn't seem to make sense /: anyone else?
6452840 tn?1381776492 I found some forums where 2nd time mommies were telling how if you have lots of BH contractions during pregnancy it basically is a good sign that labor is going to be short and not super duper painful and contractions are just very efficient because of all the practice contractions . Can any of you back this up or heard a story ?? Anything? ? What do you think?
6520484 tn?1399082398 So I've been timing my contractions for the last while and they are about 60 seconds long 5 - 7 minutes apart. I expected them to be more painful though? And now my little guy has the hiccups. Did anyone else have these kind of contractions? They are tightening with back and abdominal pain. Even when I adjust positions they are continuing.
Avatar f tn My mucus plug just came out! I think I'm having mild contractions! Should I go to the hospital now or wait?
Avatar f tn It's 5am and I'm heading in to start my induction!! I'm beyond excited:) it has been a really long 41 weeks.
Avatar f tn Because its annoying when people on here are trying to get advice and stuff and there is always those certain people that have to put there 2 cents in all the time. I'm not mad haha. You seem like you're the one that is all upset. The girl that posted clearly has already taken it and she doesn't need to hear people horror stories or feel like she is harming her baby. If you don't agree, simply don't take it.
Avatar f tn I am 32 weeks and have had preterm contractions for the past 3 or so weeks and I am now on medication to help. However, today is was confirmed that baby has dropped. Is it early for this to happen? How long for other mommies did it take for you to deliver after baby dropped?
Avatar f tn My contractions (early on) felt like a tightening of my entire belly but everyone is different. It also sounds as though you lost your mucus plug as well, i.e.: the bloody show. I always called my doctors office to see what they wanted me to do. My thoughts are with you! Take care, God bless and congratulations!
Avatar f tn It is all in what you can handle. If you have an orgasm it could trigger uterus contractions. And if he is 2 rough it could cause you some discomfort after, but the baby is fine.
Avatar n tn But try not to push hard when using the bathroom
Avatar f tn I've been having uterrine contractions & cramps for awhile now along with alot of pressure down there & I feel very nauseous like I need to throw up but can't. I have a feeling it's gonna be a long nighttt!
Avatar f tn After about 10-15 minutes and turning to lay on my side another big gush that just kept coming. My water had broke around 5pm. No contractions though. I was admitted to the hospital and around 8 they started me on pitocin to induce contractions.it was slow at first but by about 12 I was hurting but only dilated to 5cm. I was tired and hungry and ready for it to be done. The contractions were coming every 3-5 minutes for a couple hours and when checked around ten to three I was still only 7cm.
Avatar f tn I'm 32 weeks and the past few days my back has been contracting and it really hurts. It'll stop shortly after drinking water and moving . But what could this be ? Braxton hicks ?
