10219953 tn?1426171839 I'm at hospital right now on a monitor since I have been having regular contractions and I'm at 33+2. I'm only 30% and 1. But having the contractions that's are kinda regular especially for this week now Dr wants to give me steroids shot just in case baby born early.
Avatar f tn Idk what contractions feel like. But I've been having pain in my hips lower back and vag. Sometimes when baby moves. It does hurt pretty bad when baby hits my cervix!
Avatar f tn Has anyone else dilated at 31wks. Because of severe dehydration I started having contractions and they checked my cervix and I was at 1cm.
Avatar f tn m scared because they told me that when I get to 34 or pass 34w that I can have my baby at anytime... what happen first? Does ur water breaks or do u have contraction first? PLEASE HELP!!
Avatar f tn I am almost 38 weeks and I'm so confused about contractions.. Rather it's contractions or just me being uncomfortable .. My sides and my back are hurting really bad. I feel like I almost have to go to the bathroom really bad.
Avatar f tn Am 35 weeks today and am having a lot of pressure in my back and lower tummy am a first time mom :( I wasn't able to sleep at all last night no matter how I laid my husband trying rubbing me and no luck and I try drinking a gee glass of water no relief :( I feel like little man is getting ready to walk out :( what should I do and will he be ok ???
9726884 tn?1405998315 Is it normal to have contractions at 18wks, and when did you first start getting them? There not painful just feels a lil weird. Should I let my doctor know?
Avatar f tn last night I went to the hospital cause I was having pains turns out I was having contractions every 4-5 mins but they were only lasting 10 seconds instead of the whole 40,seconds. So they told me I was dehydrated and they put fluids in an ivy. That made the contractions separate but I was still having them. And now today there back close together and within 4-5 Mins apart also.
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar f tn To be honest with u , my first labour was like nightmare. I started to feel strong contractions since my 8th month when i went to the hospital they said my little girl heartbeat so high and she is in danger, they control it then and kept an eye on me for 5 days then sent me back home, At the week 39 i felt the same pain it was in friday i went to the hospital and they said i'm 1cm and i'll deliver on monday i went back home and i was so tired cant move or eat!
Avatar f tn You lose your plug first, but everyone is different. I've been losing a little bit of my plug at a time. It's a yellowish greenish slime almost like blowing your nose while your sick.
Avatar f tn Can I ask what contractions feel Luke and how you know you're having them?
Avatar f tn So im 38 weeks today before i got put on bed rest i had steady contractions. Now that ive been off bed rest i have been walking and exercising some and the contractions will stop but once i stop moving the contractions stop as well...ive tried having sex, eating hot chili, squats, walking at an incline. The only thing i have not done is drink ******* oil..idk what to do...should i talk to the doctor about scraping the membranes...
Avatar f tn Well if you're having really painful contractions (which you should be if deciding to get epidural) then you won't really feel anything because the contractions will be so bad :)
Avatar f tn Okay because I haven't had contractions start yet and I didn't know if I needed to be having contractions before my water has to break! I'm a first time mom, only 20 years old so I only know so much! I didn't know if I peed myself because I was yelling at my mom.
8778737 tn?1413827423 Just letting you know... Contractions are bad... I'm not even at my fullest, and they're painful. Getting pitocen at 3am.....
Avatar f tn My contractions are so mild, I have trouble timing them. For my first child my pain level never passed a 6 on the scale of 1-10. It makes it super hard to time them. My MIL and sister in law informed me tonight that their contractions were never regular the entire time they were in labor.
7215110 tn?1390635660 I've been in her since I found out at 5 weeks I'm now 38&5 I'm so ready for it to be over ready to see my first baby and definitely over the pain it has been a crazy experience!!
Avatar f tn At 37 weeks and 2 days she said she won't check my cervix since I'm not having any real contractions she did last time I was 1cm and half way thinned. When I said I wasn't having contractions she looked bummed! And it bummed me out! Should I be contracting? Wish I was!!
Avatar f tn I keep having really strong contractions. This is my second pregnancy and I didn't feel my contractions with my first. These are bad, they feel like they're pushing the baby down. I'm type 1 diabetic and kinda worried. What should I do???
Avatar n tn My contractions were tolerable with breathing exercises and by letting my body do the work and not trying to fight the contractions. Contractions feel like menstrual cramps that gain intensity as your labor progresses. For me, my contractions didn't start getting a little tougher until around 7 cm and by that time I figure I'm almost there and it's usually 1-1 1/2 later I give birth. If prefer an unmedicated labor as I'm able to get up and walk around after giving birth.
Avatar n tn Its normal unless they are constant one after the other for long periods of time. I had preterm labor with my first at 33 weeks and I just got persistent contractions. So unless its regular contractions its probably just your body practicing.
