Avatar f tn Good luck, its a little early but hopefully baby don't need a NICU stay. (: Fingers crossed for a fast delivery and recovery!
Avatar f tn Could i be in early labor and is it possible to be in early labor before active labor for weeks?
Avatar f tn If you are really worried go to labor & delivery next time the contractions start. Have you been checked to see if you've dilated any?
Avatar f tn I'm currently 34+4 and yesterday I went into labor. I'm 3cm dialated, the contractions have slowed. They said I could have the baby in hours or days.
Avatar n tn Any ideas how to speed this up! I'm in early labor! Had contractions all day but Doctor sent me home! Now contractions seemed to have stopped. I want to have my baby!
Avatar f tn Sounds like braxton hicks to me i used to get the alot i would think i'm going into early labor best thing that helps them to stop is to lay on your left side or starting drinking alot of juice and water even a warm bath can help and that's why they start back up because your walking you might be dehydrated i hope it stops for you because your still really early feel better
Avatar f tn Am 39 weeks and 6 days pregnant, since yesterday i have diarrhoea, lower stomach pain, i also have frequent BH contractions that are very painful but not lasting for long. Is this a early signs of labor? Plz any tips on how to get things progress fast will be appreciated.
Avatar f tn I feel like crap today. I've been having contractions all night painful contractions starting in my back. I couldnt sleep at all. Up every hout. Nothing has helped. I am a little constipated tho but having severe cramps like I need to go. I still have 4 weeks left. Her head is engaged nd I was a fingertip dilated last visit. Which isn't much but I feel like I am about to explode. I feel like throwin up too. Maybe i am jus tired. Idk. I'm gonna eat. Drink some water.
Avatar f tn Okay I know this may sound gross but I'm 39 weeks and I get diarrhea very very often...plus very bad cramps due to gas and just wandering if this is early signs of labor? I've heard yes and no.
Avatar f tn Could be. I've had that every night for a week and a half though, so it might be nothing but annoying.
4658567 tn?1364142123 Isn't it too early to be losing the plug and dilating? This will be my second baby but still seems to early. I guess my body was more attempting early labor.. Does losing the plug this early give a sign that I'm gunna go into full blown early labor??
14868695 tn?1443396776 I've been in early labor since Thursday early morning. The contractions weren't too bad until yesterday... Today they are soooo strong and have been almost every 10 mins since the beginning. I'm 70% effaced and only 1cm dilated so I keep being sent home. The maternity ball helps a little but I'm so exhausted and tired that I just want to sleep. Anyone else in early labor??
Avatar f tn How close are the contractions? And are they very painful?
2169899 tn?1354674056 Drink plenty of water, eat fiber and eat a balance meal. I am fine now no more contractions I was also constipated which was causing the contractions.
Avatar f tn Has anyone went into labor at 31 weeks? I been having contractions and lower back pain all morning. And just feel like I'm going to go into labor before full term. Anyone else feel this way?
Avatar f tn How long did you guys last in early labor I have contractions have had them all day, got sent home cus I wasn't progress fast enough.
Avatar f tn Oxytocin (the hormone that makes you orgasm) is responsible for contractions when you go into labor. Practice contractions post orgasm are totally normal although not always comfortable! Drink some water and lay down for a while to relax them away.
Avatar f tn I'm pretty sure you're in the early stage of labor. That's how mine started. I woke up around midnight on may 20 feeling like I had to go poop really bad. I wasn't able to go but when I wiped there was light pink stains on the tissue. That feeling like I needed to poop just wouldn't go away. It kept coming every 10 mins. I wasn't sure but I decided to start recording the time because I read that contractions can sometimes feel like the strong urge to poop.
