Avatar f tn My doctor said nipple stimulation was not a good method to induce labor.
Avatar f tn I have only experienced being induced labor, not regular. But I got an epidural after only 3 or 4 contractions because it was very painful. I think I have a pretty good pain tolerance but I was not going to make it with drugs!
Avatar n tn //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK470546/ These are less painful than true contractions, believe it or not. If they checked your cervix and you aren't having true contractions, then this is the annoying braxton hicks. There are triggers for this. A very common one is dehydration. Drink drink drink. At work ,can you take a break more often? Can you lift less if you are lifting things?
Avatar f tn Contractions are contractions its when they start to form patterns and are consistent u know its true labor. I agree with the first comment. Personally I can do without the prep of braxton hicks I want the labor to start and I be done with it all.
Avatar f tn I am 29 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and I have read lots of articles that say your second labor is less painful and the time is usually cut in half.....how many people has that been true for? My first labor was pretty short and fairly easy so I hope the things I read are true.....
Avatar f tn Unlike true labor, these contractions are usually not painful and do not happen at regular intervals. They do not get closer together, do not increase with walking, do not last longer as they go on, and do not feel stronger over time as they do when you are in true labor. What Do True Labor Contractions Feel Like? True labor feels different for every woman. It may even feel different from one pregnancy to the next.
Avatar f tn if you are walking or are being active when you rest they should subside... true labour contractions get closer, stronger and follow a rythm and do not stop when you stop your activity... i know when im driving the BH are more apparent, when i have to pee, and if i very active...
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 I keep having contractions about 5-10 min apart but they are not to painful they are stronger the the bh ones I was having not sure if I should call to go in or wait and see if they get stronger
3113559 tn?1347750099 But everyone keeps saying my entire belly will get extremely hard, and that since its not extremely hard its not a contraction. Any idea if this is true. Anything will help. Thank you ladies.
Avatar f tn Braxton hicks more than likely. They can range from uncomfortable to painful. Usually they are irregular, not long in durations and go away with time or change in position. They're still contractions, just practice ones. True contractions will not ease up over time they will get more and more painful as time passes on.
1287128 tn?1331134538 When I went into labor with both of my boys, my contractions were not painful until the midwife broke my water around 7-8cm. The only way I could really tell it was real labor was the consistency of the contractions and the pressure. I know everyone is different, but if they remain very consistent, I would think you are in labor or very very close!! I would wait another hour and if the timing stays regular or gets closer, I would go in. Can't hurt to be checked!!!
Avatar f tn How far apart are they and I think they r just bh but u never know reg contractions will be really painful from what I hear and did u lose ur mucus plug?
5739386 tn?1378836460 I guess il find out. I did a lil to much today. And I'm just sitting here relaxing and I'm having minor contractions baby boy moving. So I guess il take a warm bath to see if they go away or get stronger any other suggestions? Il download a timer to see how many mins apart are they but it's kinda bringing a tear to my eye.
2075737 tn?1379447682 For the most part you'll know, trust me! They are painful. True contractions tend to wrap around to your back as well. Or from your back to your front. There's a huge difference between your belly being hard and a contraction.
Avatar f tn Do contractions always start low like period cramps? I've had a few cramps today.
Avatar f tn Im being Induced due to cholestisis on the 26 what can I do or take so I can go on naturall labir instead of being induced I heard the inducing part is more painful. Is it true? Im scared?
Avatar f tn But I guess my question is what do actual contractions feel like so I kind of have an idea of what to watch for? Also what do Braxton hicks feel like as I never experienced these with my first.
Avatar f tn When you are having contractions and you place your hand on your belly if it is a true contraction and not Braxton hicks do you feel anything. With your hand other then hardening?
Avatar f tn I've had 6 in a hour
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?
7891785 tn?1397532007 Im only 31 weeks, and thats why im asking if anyone knows if that could be true or if ive just worn myself out?
