Common Questions and Answers about Contractions during period
contractions
Yeah ^ they're a lot worse than period cramps. But the pain is still manageable. At least for me. I waited at home till I was 9cm and went to hospital had my baby within an hour. I didn't want meds and the pain wasn't that bad for meds anyway. But could feel differently for everyone else.
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.
With my first I never felt BH but I just hit 33 weeks with this pregnancy and have been having them all day! When labor hit with my daughter contractions were painful like really painful. So far all I'm feeling is what feels like period cramps not sharp more dull and dont last very long.
Try not to worry. Contractions feel like period pains but they start off mild, gradually get stronger and then fade away again. The more contractions you get, the stronger they become. Also if you place your hand on your tummy you can usually feel it harden during a contraction. Trust me when I say you will know when it starts. Im on pregnancy number 5.
How far along are you? Are they taking your breath away at all?
Typically it is just from hormones that causes the cramping, as the surge will cause contractions, making her period painful. Prevention is much better than management for pain. Exercise and eating healthy can help prevent menstrual cramps to a certain point, but won't always get rid of them.
Idk if ive been having contractions or just pains from being pregnant. My lower back has throbbing sharp pains during the day.. but its not an off an on thing. Its constant. And then at night, i get period like cramps when i lay down. But when i sit up, they seem to go away. Im a ftm, and not really sure what to expect. Im being induced this Thursday. Does anyone think i should go to the hospital if it happens again tonight? I need opinions.
Leg cramps are normal in pregnancy but aren't contractions. Since you've only had leg cramps during your period you most likely don't know the feeling of contractions. It's a tightening pain that goes from your back that wraps around your belly. and it feels like you muscles are tensing up and being ripped.
IM a first time mom so I am confused can someone please explain what I'm feeling? Its a kind of feeling in my lower stomach like if I'm about to start my period I get this SLIGHT PAIN feeling... I'm 37 weeks!
Not sure what it was called. It eased my contractions immediately at first, but then they slowly got stronger with each one. By the time I started pushing the medicine had completely worn off. Not sure what I'm doing for pain this time around.
I get the same pain in the lower part of my stomach, almost like period pain after sex. My doctor said its quite normal but couldn't give me an explanation so I am still wondering myself!
