7913021 tn?1418048620 Anyone know how to make your contractions stronger & make it the real deal? I'm having them now & they feel like I'm starting my period coming about every 15-20 minutes... sometimes 10 min. But they ALWAYS go away after a while :/ i mean I think that's what they are. They are tolerable & not painful but are not comfortable! I'm hoping they will get stronger!
8987997 tn?1413288175 Why would I call a doctor I am not having regular contractions, my water has not broke and this is my 2nd pregnancy? I was asking for advice on how to safely get these contractions going a bit more not for someone to suggest I should panic for no reason I'm experiencing what a lot of women do towards the end of their pregnancy I am not going to panic like something is wrong when I am experiencing nothing out of the ordinary......
Avatar f tn the way i am feeling and the fact that according to the doctor i am contracting..i don't think im going to make it to October..the menstrual cramps are coming more and more...sometimes they are 7 minutes apart...my boyfriend doesn't think im even going to make it to the end of this month..i will be 38 weeks on Saturday..
Avatar f tn I'm a single momma here so sex is out of the question lol I guess I'm gonna be doing laps around the house tonight. Maybe turn a good song on and dry to dance to it if my contractions don't make me fall in pain hahaha thanks for all this advice I totally need it.
Avatar f tn Just makes the pain go away from tummy down to toes no weird side effects u feel 100% normal. It didn't hurt to get one the contractions hurt like heck. I give so much props to the moms who go natural.
Avatar f tn They start out at about 5 min then go to 2-3 min then after about an hour they cool down to 6-8 min apart, they are not very painful. My body is really starting to hurt from them, but they keep slowing down. And I end up falling asleep and waking up with nothing going on at all!!! This is getting really frustrating and I am starting to worry a little. I don't want to stress out the baby with my body doing this and then stopping.
Avatar f tn I've been told that sex, walking, slight squats (don't go down all the way. Do it over the coach or lazy boy chair to make sure I'm not going to hurt myself or baby), nipple stimulation, raspberry leaf tea and evening primrose oil both help dilation and thinning of the cervix, some people say to take castor oil but I wouldn't because it can cause baby to have a bowel movement in the womb and really harm baby.
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???
10021507 tn?1407285147 I'm having sharp pains on my right side. Had about 3/4 in 10mins. Now I'm not sure if they are contractions cause I've heard contractions hurt. Theses pains do not hurt to me.They dnt make me wanna scream&wakeup my house lol. Btw I'm 40weeks&5days.
Avatar f tn Contractions hurt like hell. Early labor you may not know you're in labor. Water will break but something has to press up against it. Like Dr or baby. It doesn't hurt. But it's like you peed yourself and there's a lot of it so it will continue to come out.
8742761 tn?1399611857 m 36weeks with a big baby girl I have been having problems with contractions for awhile and went earlier this week and they tried to stop them and never could well they told me unless my water brakes or contractions 2-3min.s apart not to come back in. Well been having them 5min.s apart now and they are hurting been going for a hour and getting stronger not sure what to do.
Avatar f tn Mine hurt with my last 3 pregnancys and i expect them to hurt with this one. Not everyone goes threw the same things just cause it happened a certain way for u doesn't mean thats how it is for everyone else.
5970740 tn?1377720307 All I felt was a pinch n maybe a little bit of a sting, but nothing major. I just didn't want to feel no more contractions. But ur mind is not even going to be thinking about how it feels...
Avatar f tn Im not sure how to tell if im having contractions. I have been having cramps and back pains for about 2 hrs. The pain is getting worse. i also keep getting cramps in my lower stomach and pelvis. Are these contractions.. how can i tell if i am having contractions??
Avatar f tn I am due the end of August and I am not going to make it to then. I hurt and don't feel like it can stretch much more. I feel like crap. Does anyone else feel this way?
7249862 tn?1392252689 It depends on the dr. I was checked at 37 w by a nurse in l&d and wasn't dilated at all. I felt almost nothing, it was my first time being checked. When my actual ob started checking me it hurt like hell lol not that she was rough bug her hand was much larger than the very small Filipino nurse at the hospital and my cervix was so far back the dr had to push down on baby just to feel it.
Avatar f tn Around 36 weeks.. To me it hurt. I'm not gonna lie. I'm 34 weeks and was having contractions so went to L&D and they checked for dilation and it hurt me a little bit.
Avatar f tn I'm going to try having a bath now and see what happens from there
Avatar f tn How do you know when your having contractions ? This is my first pregnancy. And I have been feeling pressure below my belly button and I'm having lots of back pain.
Avatar f tn I also worry about this. I'm only 25 weeks but I have no idea what to expect at the end and how to know I'm in labor. I should probably read my pregnancy books lol.
4728986 tn?1361251576 You can always call your Dr to be sure....but you'll know when you start having real contractions because they will hurt so bad that you can't continue a conversation (you will have to stop talking or talk through gritted teeth) nor will you be able to walk (like you have to grab on to something to support you)....
4310181 tn?1357690214 Sometimes it hurts worse and sometimes I can barely notice it. It started right after I went to lay down with my son and it hurt so bad I had to get up and they haven't stopped yet. I went to the doctor today and apparently the other one was one my doctor did a check and I am not dilated yet but baby is head down and engaged. I am 31 weeks 5 days. This is my third and I never had BH with my boys. This pain really feels like a real contraction.
Avatar f tn I went to get crampy woke up when it hurt more walked around till it really hurt to make sure (had went Into the hospital a week earlier with contractions but wasn't in real labour) and making me cry then went to the hospital lol
Avatar n tn I just had my son two weeks ago, and I definitely had an epidural. the contractions get to be excruciating, I'm not going to lie. I was only dilated to a 2, having contractions about 5 minutes apart or less and I was literally losing my lid. lol. I was cussing and crying.. then you get the epidural and I fell asleep.. I went threw 12 hours of labor being induced and finally got a c section. after the epidural, you literally can't feel anything. including your legs.
