Avatar f tn Same thing happened to me when I had it two weeks back. It continued to hurt my belly and lower back for the whole night and next day. It was just like period pain. I am so afraid that I didn't attempt for it again since then. What I have been told is that could be contractions as the body prepares itself for labor. I am 36 weeks today.
Avatar f tn My mom keeps telling me i will probably have bad back labor because of the pain i had before and during pregnancy. so im definitely going for the epidural!
Avatar f tn My first son weighed 9 lbs 1 oz and I was sick and in pain during most my pregnancy it was quiet rough on my body. This pregnancy has been pretty smooth going compared to my las however I was up all night last night throwing up and can not keep ANYTHING down. Now my back is cramping and I'm afraid I am having contractions in my back but I have no idea seeing as I was induced during my first pregnancy because of his size and him not ready to come out.. is the use of a heating pad ok?
Avatar n tn I've had no issues at all with my son or my pregnancy. I've not even mentioned it to my doctor but my midwife knows I'm still breastfeeding and was really supportive. You could try the kellymom website or the la leche league website for more information about breastfeeding whilst pregnant.
657364 tn?1261259557 Hi. I just wanted to know if it is alright to take a mild laxative (i.e. Metamucil) during pregnancy for constipation. I asked my RE and he said it was alright. I didn't want to push my 3 DET embies out.
Avatar f tn I know its possible to have back contractions without feeling them in my front and I am so worried thats what im having bc my back has been killing me! How exactly can you time back contractions!? Im 35 weeks!
Avatar f tn I'll be 39 weeks pregnant tomorrow and so far I've had literally no contractions, no braxton hicks etc, all I really get is a crampy feeling, but I've got really bad back pain which comes and goes, and bad rib pain too... from my last midwife app two week ago he's 3/5th engaged he's been head down for a while now, he's dropped really low I can literally feel him headbutting down there to the point I worry he'll just pop out, anyone know if there back contractions?
1462841 tn?1318525863 I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant...How far along during pregnancy can you still have intercourse??
Avatar n tn Go back and demand you get an ultrasound done to see what the heck is going on. Tell them the bleeding hasn't stopped and now you're having clumps/clots. Go to a different hospital if you have to.

Avatar f tn I thought it was common pregnancy back pain im finally getting but it got worst during the Night so i went into L&D and it was contractions but i got sent home cause I was dialated 1cm and 8min apart. Around 7am the next day I woke got out if bed and had went clear fkuid run down my legs.
Avatar n tn Another cause of abdominal discomfort during pregnancy is related to hormones. The pregnancy hormones can also slow down digestion. This causes gas, bloating, and adds to that overly full feeling. If you are experiencing contractions at 28 weeks, I would recommend speaking with your doctor. It may be just the Braxton Hicks contractions, but it is better to make sure. I don't know if your stomach discomfort is related to the contractions, but make sure to mention that as well.
Avatar f tn Mostly doctors say its very common during pregnancy but if it gets worst or continue later down the line make sure you tell the doctor and get it checked cause it could be early contractions and sometimes with that you could be positive for premature labor.I know that's what happened to me and my cervix was a finger tip open but it closed back and I'm 30 weeks but I still get cramping now and then which are contractions.and I'm positive for premature labor.
200198 tn?1259887597 unless your doctor tell you not to it is safe to have sex at any point during the pregnancy (well until your water breaks and I don't know many mom's who would want to have sex after their water breaks) as far as contracting after having an orgasm I don't know exactly at what stage it is considered normal to contract, but I started having contractions with sex when I was 2 to 3 months with all 3 of my pregnancies, it is usually only a problem if your doctor think you may go into prem
Avatar f tn ve been hurting like every night im feeling contractions but they dnt stay n tonight im nt havin regular contractions but my lower back is hurting badly but nothing like contractions anybody know whats goin on? Is it labor?
Avatar f tn I'm not sure if I should call my doctor, I've been having pains on and off in my upper stomach and lower back. I've also been having Braxton Hicks contractions for the past month but they were mostly mild pain in my lower abdomen and my stomach hardening and once I would lay on my left side and drink a bunch of water they would eventually subside. Also the baby is still moving but when he kicks during the cramping it feels like my uterus is going to break open.
10633889 tn?1414018565 ve always dealt with back pain and bad sciatic pain during my pregnancy but today is has been consistent. Any advice? My next doctor appointment isn't until next Friday.
Avatar f tn m not picking on you at all, I promise!) Young moms are at risk for preterm labor, and I went into labor twice during my pregnancy, so keep a close eye on it! You don't want to be delivering yet!
Avatar f tn I did with my first pregnancy when I contractions the pain would wrap around to my back, it was brutal pain, I had my hubby massage my back literally bruising me but I couldn't feel it so it wasn't helpful.
Avatar n tn Your sex drive will fluctuate through your pregnancy. Also pain is normal after or during while pregnant unfortunately its apart of it sometimes. I would try taking things slow dont get too rough or fast it might help with the cramping.
Avatar f tn it sounds like contractions, probably practice contractions
