Common Questions and Answers about Contractions you'd

contractions

Avatar f tn If ur not in any real pain then ur probably having false labor contractions, or just ur plain ol' BH contractions. Real active labor contractions will stop u dead in ur tracks from whatever it is ur doing and take ur breath away until the contraction goes away and comes back. Just try and take it easy and pay attention to ur signs n symptoms. Either way ur close and almost there! As am I, just playing the waiting game..
Avatar f tn I say u should go check cuss I had my baby at 35 weeks
Avatar f tn t go away but I am still having contractions that at in my stomcahe every 20 minutes. And every time baby moves it hurts. And I started having the contractions around 2:30. I also have diareah. Is labor close?
Avatar f tn ll kinda make your breathing feel slightly different. To differentiate between braxton Hicks contractions and real labor contractions you need to pay attention to your stomach getting hard and if it's accompanied by pain. You'd feel it get tight. It's hard to miss. You also need to time them. Write down what time they happen and for how many seconds or minutes.that way you can tell how far apart they are and how long you're having a contraction.
Avatar n tn Those are most likely practice contractions. If they were real you'd be dilating.
Avatar f tn Last night I woke up with lower back and pain I woke up today and I feel nauseous and lower back pain and the have few pain on my lower abdomen that comes an go am I having contractions?
Avatar f tn Give them a call first- but if they were real contractions you'd know it! They could develop though so try drinking some water and sitting still for a while. If they get close together, more painful or last over an hour then go in.
Avatar f tn I think it could be sciatic nerve, I had the very same thing, it hurt day and night, it went away after like three days, I still don't know what it was for sure, if it were labor i think you'd still feel frequent contractions along with the back pain, but I don't know for certain.
Avatar f tn How far apart are your contractions? I know it's said that people say to labor at home that you'd be more comfortable and there's a greater likelihood that you would progress further at home than at the hospital. I'm sorry you're so uncomfortable! Try and keep moving - walking helps. Even sitting on the toilet is said to help! Good luck and keep us posted!
Avatar f tn That's hw I feel. Like everyone just says it's like cramps but I can't really believe that.
Avatar f tn I heard that pineapple will bring on contractions? Have any other moms heard this...
10025015 tn?1422498264 You'd have to eat around 7 fresh pineapple, including the core for it to do anything. It does contain bromealian which is what can abuse contractions but its safe to eat as long as you don't eat like 7 lol.
8485484 tn?1408936473 It doesn't really do anything you'd notice. It strengthens your uterus to make it easier to give birth.
Avatar f tn Had sex at 3am. Went to the bathroom afterwards at 3:30 and felt some dripping on my hand. Told my fiance I thought my water broke. He was like "I think you'd know". So I said I'd give it to the morning. Got back up and heyyy. Water dripping all down my leg. Didn't feel anything except that I was basically peeing on myself. Lol. Contractions started an hour later just like my midwife said.
Avatar f tn I am 40w and 3 days with my 2nd child i am not having any contractions. I have had none my whole pregnancy how can i bring on contractions so i can try for a vbac.
10843549 tn?1425096623 You'd feel contractions if it worked. They did mine last week n I was having contractions for 2 days n my mucus plug came out but tgen everything stopped...
Avatar f tn The last couple days I've constantly been really wet and it's a weird smell it's clear there's not a thickness to it. I've been thinking it was normal discharge until I started to actually think about it. I'm 35 weeks tomorrow and my contractions the last week have gotten bad but controllable. I honestly don't know if I'm leaking, or what's going on but I don't want to go into the hospital and look dumb for nothing?
Avatar n tn From what I've been told the cramping isn't caused by the sex itself mostly by the orgasm and release of hormones in the brain, so even if you were to pleasure yourself some other way you'd likely have the same problem I did for the first couple months of my pregnancy and it's returned again now that i'm full term it causes full on contractions so it might go away for some time but then again it might not
8377023 tn?1399509160 You're welcome. My baby did that a lot when I hit around 24 weeks when she started to get bigger. I thought it was contractions. But she was just laying on nerves. If it was contractions you'd feel pressure and if it was braxton hicks you would feel tighting.
Avatar f tn im havin bh contractions bc there not regular but they kinda hurt. any ideas yall? told my fiance when he gets off work in 2 hrs we might be going to l&d. btw last monday i was 1cm and babys head was -1 but she didnt say if i was thinned out any and on tuesday i lost my mucus plug.
Avatar f tn I am 33 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Today I used the restroom ( just peed) and now I'm feeling I guess you'd say crampy ads feeling pressure, it's quite uncomfortable. What would this be?
Avatar f tn Damn these contractions are no joke!!! How did you ladies that decided to go natural get through them?
Avatar n tn s riskier to induce for a Vbac because pitocen and Cytotec (the most common induction methods) can cause super strong contractions that can even rarely cause non scarred uteri to rupture. However, if you soften and dilate your cervix with cervadil rather than Cytotec/misoprostal and keep your dose of pitocen low, I would think you'd probably be okay.
1523981 tn?1311318595 I'd wait for your contractions to become more regular and closer together. Once they're around 5 minutes apart you'd want to head in.
1297015 tn?1298250473 I will be 32 weeks on friday with my second pregnancy and have had this question in my head, how early can you go in to labor after having an emergency c-section with the first pregnancy and being this baby is breech? Can you still get contractions when you have a breech baby or when you'd had a c-section?
Avatar f tn You'd have to do it for several hours before it triggers contractions.
