why contractions at night

Why does it seem like I only experience contractions at night time. I'm only 37 weeks & I haven't lost a mucus plug so I'm sure they are braxton Hicks. But I only feel them at night time, anybody else like this?

No matter what type of activities I do during the day I always get contractions at night and they are strong. Last night my bf woke me up askin me if I was okay because I guess I was whining and tossing and turning in my sleep and he thought I was goin into labor. Hopefully my baby isn't over due because I can't take this much longer.

Contractions that are not persistent, intensify as they progress and become constant are probably just Braxton Hicks contractions, they are more so common at later hours of the day and night. If they go away, probably the case.

Anybody else get woken up at night sometimes with contractions? Mine have been going away within 30 minutes after I drink water and change positions.

So im just over 37 wks and i get braxton hicks all day but thats just the tightening and no pain but every night for a week now i wake up and im having like period cramps and aching in my uterus. I just wanna know why only at night? This is my 3rd baby and before this pregnancy i never had any braxton hicks i never even knew what they felt like. With my other 2 i basically just went into labor with no warning signs.

Why is it at night we feel more of these sensations then during the day?I have tingling feet, sapping pain senations, the bag of worms moving under my skin, and low back pain. I am waiting for a appt with a nero.

I just didnt think much of it because you know its just at night while I sleep and it been like that for the past 3 nights but they are very mild they dont progress or go and come back its like a pain that is just there. So idk if thats normal or not.

m already 3cm dialated and 60% thinned out. Started having contractions at 9pm and they got to be every 5 minutes apart but the pain was still tolerable. They lasted till 2am then I got two really strong ones and now nothing! I'm ready to meet my princess!

Last night i went to l&d cause i was havin contractions 2-5 mins apart. They checked me & i was 5cm & 80% effaced. I stayed & walked around, they checked me again a hr later & i didnt dilate ne more so they sent me home w pain med & a sleeping pill. This seems crazy to me. Im in so much pain i cnt hardly walk. I thought if u were 5 cm u were n labor?? Wen i had my son i was exactly 5cm & 80% effaced & they admited me. Could me bein this dilated hurt the baby?

that scared me its to early for contractions!!! But the contractions explain why the ER couldnt figure out what was wrong with me last week!

I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow..started having contractions last night..had a doctor appointment today & my doctor sent me straight to L&D, now having contractions every 3 mins also 3cm dilated & this doctor is trying to stop them with iv fluids. Why would he stop them this far along?

I went to the hospital Monday night because I felt just horrible and had a fever was having contractions every 1 to 2 mins they gave me a shot to stop them but it only slowed them down they kept me over night then let me go even tho I was having at lest four contractions in a hour well now I'm feeling the same as I was in the beginning and possibly having contractions back to back again.

Yesterday I started having excruciating stomach pains. I ignored it for a few hours until my boyfriend made me call my ob. Got sent to the local l&d and found out I was having contractions about 20 mins apart. I was started on mag sulfate, and in about two hours they subsided and my pain was almost nil. Was sent to a larger hospital for observation (still in btw) and they stopped the mag to see how I'd do. About an hour later my stomach pain came back and I started contracting.

My husband has had lots of arm and leg twitching at night. It used to be occasional, but, it has been every night for a few months and seems to begin once he is relaxed and continues when he falls asleep, I don't know if it continues throughout the night. It is quite a lot of twitching and is really starting to worry me. He also seems to be unaware of it when it happens.

That's Exactly How I Feel ! My Contractions Get A Few Minutes Apart Then Tey Start Spacing Again And I'm Like Uhhhhh WHY !?

After being there for 9 hours the ER doctor comes in and tell me that I am having contractions, and he spoke to my OB and that at 15 weeks there is nothing that they can do for me. I flipped out. There has got to be something that they can do, right?

Im 23weeks and i was admitted into the hospital. I worked until 3pm and my job requires me on my feet all day long. I went to the hospital after work and they hooked me up to the monitor and I was having a few contractions, so I they hooked me up to an IV and I drank lots of water.. I went to sleep and through the night I didn't have any contractions. My question is. Is this normal to have with being dehydrated? The dr just kept talking of babies being born at 24 weeks.

Yea I was in the hospital at 33 weeks to and mine contractions were 6 minutes apart it helped me but it made me feel ugly my heart start beating fast my body felt shakey and now im 35 weeks 5days and im starting to get the pains again

Nocturnal leg cramps are sudden, involuntary contractions of the calf muscles that occur during the night or while at rest. Occasionally, muscles in the soles of the feet also become cramped. The sensation can last a few seconds or up to 10 minutes, but the soreness may linger. The cramps can affect persons in any age group, but they tend to occur in middle-aged and older populations. Dehydration is one common cause of leg cramps. Potassium and calcium intake are another factor.

Hi all. I am 32 weeks and experiencing contractions every night for the past week. Idk why they only come at night but I don't experience them during the day. They are to the point where it is difficult to breath through them. I don't want to call my doctor because they will only tell me not to worry but I can't help but worry.

I really don't think it's contractions I've been told I might have a early labour however if it's still bad through night I'll give them a ring just wanted to know if anybody else had similar thank you

s what it felt like, legiments stretching and the from Contractions. Sunday night the pain went away so maybe they will go away for you too. They said to drink lots of water, rest on my side && take tylenol, I didn't take it tho cus I don't wanna take any meds while pregnant.

It said they may be regular but change in intensity and will often go away for similar reasons to bh contractions. I has cramping ever 7 min one night and contractions every 5 another night both times lasting more than an hour then just quit!

On Monday, I started having really bad menstrul-like cramps. My tummy got really hard after each one, I got told they were contractions but they hit suddenly and really strong.. they were only about 2-5 mins apart at the most and lasted for about a min, sometimes two. I went to labor and delivery, I was having true contractions but they stopped on their own just as suddenly as they started. I had diarrea all that night and Tuesday.

For the past two nights I've been having lower stomach pains that have kept me from sleeping tryin to find a new position doesn't help but what's weird is that I only get them at night never during the day.? I don't exactly know what contractions are supposed to feel like so idk if it's that. I'm 40week's.
