Avatar f tn First and foremost i have to thank you all for always answering my questions and being nice! Heres my labor story I was having pains at 9 pm monday night but it wasnt painful i wasnt gonna go in but my friends from fb and roommate made me go in... i got to the hospital around 1am the nurse said i was having contractions they were going to stop my labor but i was already dilated to 5 centimeters!
Avatar f tn 45 days to go.. Ready to have my prince in my arms.. This is baby #4.. Feeling pains right there and then but I'm doing great how about you all how many weeks and how are you all feeling?
Avatar f tn My Dr will not induce if neither of us is on distress. ***** being in pain all the time. My contractions do sometimes let up. Yours?
3138931 tn?1350940318 I've had painful contractions all day!! Even while walking!! Also been bleeding alllll day since my second sweep. Baby hasn't been too active. Hopefully something tonight!!!
Avatar f tn Do you have to have contractions in order to dialate? I keep reading storys of women saying " oh im dialated to 2 and didnt even know it" hows that even possible?
906115 tn?1344200509 AnxiousGurl- I have carpal tunnel and my arms hurt real bad at night but nothing to bad I guess. Hurts more at my elbows more then anywhere else hwich is different for me. Melka- I understand how you feel having had 4 preemies already and on bed rest the whole time with them! It is draining emotionally and mentally that nothing seems to go right and the excitment of things don't feel right really. You will get things and once it is all over you will be able to concentrate on the baby.
Avatar f tn I ended up getting the epidural after 7 hours of labor with horrible contractions and only dilating about a cm and a half in all that time. When I decided I really needed it it took the anesthesiologist over an hour to get to me and by that time I was crying for it. I was so happy once I finally got it but ended up being in labor for a total of 25 hours and pushed for 4.
Avatar f tn The hospital I go to keeps you if you are dilated to 4cm and if you are having contractions consistently even if you don't continue to dilate.
Avatar f tn Braxton Hicks and contractions are two seperate things. When you are in labor, contractions are what happens when you dial ate is the best way to explain it. Braxton hicks feel like contractions but its more like muscle spasms.
Avatar f tn did you get induced? im going to be induced at 37 weeks bc baby is small and I was just wondering what to expect and how long it'll take to actually have her?
561451 tn?1257476350 I have read your posts. I am sorry you and baby have to go through this. I hope to hear the good news from you and DH soon. Praying for baby and mommy's safety.
Avatar f tn Thank you and congrats to you as well... This is the first time I've experienced my water breaking on its own... In fact this labour was full of a lot of first for me...
Avatar f tn Aw good luck with everything!
12380259 tn?1424964291 so I thought with my baby girl this pregnancy I would want an epidural but im stating to change my mind once I read that its not as bad as you make it, that the contractions are worse then the actual pushing. So I was wondering if any of you ladies could give me some advice or stories about your personal experiences!
242143 tn?1215470308 i thank all of you for all the great info on all this, because i live almost an hour from the hospital and that would have been such a pain to drive all the way there and nothing happening. i only had back labor pains with ds, so this contraction thing is new to me, too. almost feels like i'm doing all this for the first time! good to know people are experiencing the same things! dh is clueless!
Avatar f tn You will know contractions when they start...some people say it feels like really bad cramps but incant explain how it feels.. to me its way worse than cramps.. also your body will know when its time to push.
Avatar f tn My water broke the morning I was due,I had no contractions for 9 hours then bam! I was in hard labor (contractions every 2 minutes) for 18 hours. If you still haven't had your baby try gently massaging your nipples. No longer than 5 minutes each though. After the five minute intervals wait at least an hour before doing it again.
Avatar f tn They may be regular contractions if they are patterned. My contractions are never very painful until my water breaks.
Avatar f tn I am confused as to what is happening... iv been gettin bad cramps all day long... has not stopped... this is my sec child so i no what contractions are like... this feels like extra strong period pain nearly making me feel nausious... i am nearly 38 weeks... i have said this to my mam and she said to wait it out and see what happens... im not sure i agree with her... can anyone shed a light on whats goin on???
Avatar f tn make sure you know if they have this rule in case you want epidural...I had all my children four of them without it ....
Avatar f tn Can cramps and contractions get confused? Im 39 weeks...been losing mucus plug all day. I need help..(not an explanation on what real contractions are..
Avatar f tn All of this was really helpful. Thank you. Its funny how when you first get pregnant you imagine labor or I did anyway as the first time you experience contractions or feeling off..I didn't expect so many contractions beforehand that were false alarms. I didn't expect so many false alarms period. Its hard for me not to overthink it. I guess ill know or have some clue when d day is here.
Avatar f tn Not a question but I have been having contractions all night long. Im waiting for them to get less than 5 minutes apart. So painful. Im 38 weeks and 2 days.
