Common Questions and Answers about Why do i feel contractions during my period

contractions

Avatar n tn My last baby was like this. When my contractions started I layed down on my side to help ease pain. I finally got up during one contraction and stood in my shower....caused my water to break and I was 2 minutes apart from that point on. I was kept at hospital since water broke but it was a long labor. I couldn't get on my knees since I had already been given an epidural. The nurse and I finally took a bed sheet and played tug of war during contractions and baby finally turned.
Avatar f tn I have no idea how do contractions feel. I didn't have any so far (I don't think). I've been having evening cramps that are pretty light, but I can't distinguish how long they last. Are those could be contractions?
Avatar f tn Ive been having contractions for two days and today they have slowed down alot, but today I slept all day and I just feel really emotional and achy, and I feel like I need to use the restroom but when I try to go nothing happens? Got a doctors apt Monday but I just feel like I cant wait that long, HELLLPPP!
Avatar n tn After i was admitted and hooked up to monitors the doctors found out i was having hard core contractions, but i didnt feel any of them....just wondering why i cant? Doctor said they were real not BH contractions..
Avatar n tn Hey!, I dont think anyone can really describe how contractions feel....but you said the your 35wks so you might be feeling braxton hicks contractions. Thats the little play/play contractions before the real thing kicks in... Or if you want a better understanding of braxton hicks contractions you can search it up on google...
Avatar f tn t no mine were contractions initially . I felt a pain in my back and then it radiated to my pelvis like period pains. My stomach didn't initially really tighten.. my waters didn't break until I was pushing and my show didn't come until my contractions started.
982641 tn?1252025412 t far along enough that it felt like any kind of tightening - more just like a really severe period. I thought that knowing the difference might help me get a picture (or idea) in my head about it.
Avatar f tn now that you mention them feeling like menstrual cramps, about a month ago i felt mentrual cramps for like 3 days, they werent thatt strong, it felt just like if i was going to get my period. would you happen to know why that happened? i've been to my doctor after those cramps & everything is great according to him.
Avatar f tn My contractions were completely irregular, I went in and they said I was a two and wanted to send me home, completely refused. I went in at 1 15 and had my son at 8 20 but was pushing from 7 50.
11195379 tn?1427921527 So I've been getting this sharp pain in my tummy I don't know if it's contractions. I get period like cramps then sometimes I get a sharp pain. Is it just growing pains? I'm a ftm and don't know what to expect lol. I'm 37wks and 5 Days pregnant.
Avatar f tn I'm 30weeks and 1day pregnant this is my first baby and i don't know how contractions feel at all i will have sum pressure but i don't think nothing of it could it be contractions?
6366847 tn?1381549089 Contractions feel like very bad period cramps. As for me tho I never had period cramps so the doc explained it like a really bad upset stomach I have to poop feeling.
Avatar f tn I've heard they come in the front or back I don't know about anyone else? But with my 1st I had back contractions they felt like menstrual cramps! My 2nd I had both front and back!! If you watch a movie on birth don't let it scare you too much cause some women are different some woman scream their heads off while other grunt. I didn't scream but tears just came rolling out of my eyes.. It won't hurt too much when you push though it's kind of a relief!

Avatar f tn Most people say contractions feel like period cramps, but I have to disagree. I think they feel more like cramps you get when you are trying to hold in your poop until you find a bathroom, just more intense. I think too many people focus on timing contractions. Until they begin to make you cringe and hold your breathe, there is no need to time them and can put a lot of unneeded pressure on the mother.
6873109 tn?1385614660 Omg I didn't know what contractions felt like till on thnskgiving day I felt it so intense where my stomach was hard & tight, my bk was hurting so bad and I felt so much pressure where I felt I need to poop.
467721 tn?1208469005 I feel nauseated and feel like i need to vomit almost all day. My stomach tends to ache. I have PCOS and i am currently going to the Fertility Clinic. My doctor put me on Metaformin, but i dont have any type of Diabetes. He told me it was to lower my insulen. I have looked it up and seen the Side effects it can give, but i have been on this medication now for about three months, taking up to three pills a day. It hasnt done anything but give me diarhea all day.
Avatar f tn So then I assumed it was probably my endometriosis acting up because I later stopped bleeding. Now last night my husband and I were having sex and I started spotting again during sex. Can someone please tell me why I might be going through this ?
368785 tn?1270432283 While I was loading the dishwasher today, I started to feel a sharp pain behind/to the left of my bellybutton. When I put my hand on my stomach it felt a lot harder than it usually does, but it only lasted for a few seconds. This happened three times for less than ten seconds within a ten minute period. DH wanted to call out of work to stay with me just in case, but I sent him to work anyway.
