contractions

Avatar f tn My first pregnancy I never felt contractions until I went into labor and I never dilated past a 1 but my son came on his own two days after his due date. I remember going to a drs appt and her telling me I was having a contraction but I never did feel anything. This time around I feel every single one of them.
Avatar f tn But believe me you WILL feel them farther into labor! Lol. Dont worry about missing them. Im on baby #2 and I feel all my contractions but im waiting for them. I cant wait to have this.boy! Brace yourself tho..its an experience!
Avatar f tn So heres the deal girls.... I'm 37 weeks bout to be 38 tomorrow ... on July first i went to the hospital due to cramping and they told me i had urine infection and that's what caused my cramping but i was dialed to 3 cm, but my cervix was thick. So I'm on antibiotics and i had a follow up with my ob and he said my cervix still thick and I'm dilated almost 4 but i have no contractions...
Avatar f tn Mine were 5 min apart and no dialation but they kept me overnight because they said contractions so close could send me into preterm labor and im only 34 weeks

5098230 tn?1430974779 Well last night was a full moon and I didn't go into labor :/ but had some pretty intense contractions last night.

Avatar f tn I'm due in 2 days and have all kinds of signs but no contractions or baby. I'm waiting desperatly! Good luck ladies!
Avatar f tn Sounds like contractions/preterm labor. I would call your doctor ASAP and get checked at labor and delivery. Good luck!
Avatar n tn My hands and feet swoll over night and I can barely walk. I have no idea what the heck is going on with my body. No contractions or Braxton hicks. All I have is sharp pain in my thighs when the baby moves. Any advice to help this kid along? I'm so tired and just want him in my arms!
Avatar f tn My guess is my body is starting the first part of labor but since the contractions are not getting consistently stronger nor more frequent just yet, i dont think i am in active labor. If your contractions slow down then its not real labor yet.
4331946 tn?1355816857 t always mean labor. You def know contractions. I was cramping and thinking omg its contractions..
Avatar f tn My oldest I was in labor for 3 hours. No epidural. My second I was in labor for literally 20 minutes. No epidural. I also was in the room when my sister had my nephew and she went natural. Her labor was 2 hours with no epidural. If the pain gets to where you can't take it, they do have meds they can give you through the IV. Hope all goes well for you.
Avatar f tn With my first I got the meds after about 13 hours of labor, I want dilated enough for the epidural so I asked for meds. It made me feel drunk, but it didn't take away the pain, I still felt everything. I definitely got the epidural after 18 hours of labor, and didn't even feel the needle. It actually helped my labor progress as well. Do what you're comfortable with!
7366593 tn?1400009626 I am also at a 3cm but have been at 75% effaced for 3weeks...mucus plug they said was gone 2 weeks ago. But I havent had any blood or contractions yet either..I have tell wed. To get her out or there schedualing induction...
Avatar f tn today I am 36 wks n 6days woke up this morning with excruciating bk pains that would not let up no matter how I turned or moved. Felt lk menstral cramps that were n my bk and lower abdomen, n urge to use the bathroom n pinkish discharge.so I called ob got appt n they monitored me n sent me to l&d triage bc my contractions were 3-5min apart but when they checked me they said I was only fingertip dialated. Baby is engaged n I can feel her moving n my pelvis.
Avatar f tn Follow the 511 rule. Contractions every 5 mins that last 1 min for at least 1hr. That is considered active labor. But it can never hurt to go in and get checked.
4499377 tn?1373555885 So I talked to my doctor and he says that they are real contractions but not labor contractions?? Is this possible? (I guess I assume it is because my doctor said so, but it seems so unreal!) Has anyone else had this? If so, how long did you have to deal with these really painful contractions that last quite a long while but then disappear back into BH contractions?
4658567 tn?1364142123 t strong enough for real contractions.. They have been no where near the ones I had for false labor.. Was pretty made when I got sent home and told to sleep.. Hate the ones where you can't tell if its baby bundling up and pushing or real contractions.. Been having a lot of those..
Avatar f tn Im having a lot of contractions also but painless! I'm 38 weeks. I'm up since 3 am bcs with the contractions I have a very bad stomachache w nausea. Could I be in labor?!
Avatar f tn I'm due june 8th too & I'm having contractions but I feel no pain?
