Contractions feel different

Common Questions and Answers about Contractions feel different

contractions

Avatar f tn s just a tightening in my belly and it takes my breath and way a little. Well today they feel different. They are very mild but almost feel like period cramps. Do these sound like actual contractions and not practice ones? I don't recall feeling this with my other babies but I am older and have a more physical job than before. They are still not regular so I don't think I'm in labor, just curious.
Avatar f tn If this is not your first baby....WHAT was different when you GAVE BIRTH..this time...DID YOU EXPERIENCE your water break... When labor came..and never did before...etc..(i have 2 kids...due with my 3rd...next Saturday...and i NEVER experienced my water breaking...
Avatar f tn I have expierenced both.. My first daughter I started with contractions the doctor broke my water for me... My second daughter my water broke and contractions came about 2 hours later everyone is different..
Avatar f tn The way a contraction feels is different for each woman, and may feel different from one pregnancy to the next. But labor contractions usually cause discomfort or a dull ache in your back and lower abdomen, along with pressure in the pelvis. Contractions move in a wave-like motion from the top of the uterus to the bottom. Some women describe contractions as strong menstrual cramps.
Avatar f tn m not sure what all my different aches and pains are. I am 25 weeks pregnant and sometimes I feel like my uterus wads up into a ball. This happens most often when I have intercourse and have an orgasm (I know TMI). You can visibly see a knot in my abdomen and I have to stay still and breathe deep for it to go away. At first I thought maybe it was the fetus wading up into a ball. Sometimes it hurts more than others.
Avatar f tn How did you ladies feel before you went into labor? Did you feel perfectly normal or was something that felt weird or different?

Avatar f tn Okay my last day of ovulation was the 2nd and it is now the 6th. On the 4th it was just nausea. The 5th it was nausea and I was a little more hungry than usual. And today its nausea, headaches, backaches, and I'm really tired even though I didn't do anything. Why do I feel so different.. Anyone have any suggestions?
Avatar f tn I went all natural. The contractions were really painful. Once i started pushing i didnt feel a thing. I only felt burning on my first 2 pushes. The pain will all be gone when you have your little one.
Avatar f tn How can a contraction feel like? I know its different for everybody and the pain I have been having I am not all to sure that is what it is. Has anyone ever had a contraction feel more like a low stabbing sharp pain following a low back pain. Im not feeling much tightness. And also whrn you are having a contraction does the baby tend to move during it? Please let me know!
8622136 tn?1399000554 I have back contractions/back labor.. and I wouldn't wish that on the devil. Its horrible. To make it even worse it was on one side. When I'd take a step on with that foot it just felt like life was over for me. It's painful. On the other hand I've never had stomach contraction ive felt when my baby moves to the front of my stomach I can feel her back its very uncomfortable. Is that the same?
Avatar f tn what do contractions feel like? Do they feel like the BH ones?
Avatar f tn Braxton hicks aren't usually painful though they can be the bigger you get. Contractions apparently feel like period pains, I've never experienced them so for me they feel like I need to go number 2 due to the immense pressure your bottom. Or horrible never ending gas pains lol buy that's just me.
Avatar f tn what do contractions feel like? I've been told several different things.I'm 35 weeks & 6 days. the doctors have hooked me up different times but it's like I'm missing the felon of them when the paper would show that I'm having them. is hard too tell with all the uncomfortable passin I've been in lately.
Avatar f tn Its still crampy and really doesnt ease up, but it goes into moments of intensity that seem unbearable (like the worst gassy pains you could imagine) and it lasts up to a minute and half at a time before easing back into just the less painful cramp. Are these contractions? I know theres different kinds, but I dont really feel them low unless it radiates there.
Avatar f tn With contractions your stomach will get really hard and feel super tight...
Avatar n tn And for me it only feels like menstral pains in early labor, then the full blown contractions are different. If it gets more painful you should call your doctor though, cause everyone is different!
904073 tn?1245113785 I don't think my epidoral was strong enough because it felt like fire torch being stuck up me when my son came out it hurt so bad! My first son they gave me 100 mg of Demeral and 4 numbing shots which I asked for with my second son but my new obgyn said he wanted me to be able to feel things to push I so much didn't like it because it hurt but its different with everyone!
Avatar f tn It's because they're different for everyone. My sister felt like somebody was stabbing her lower back, I had menstrual like cramps from heck.
Avatar f tn Ya I've seen a lot on this app. Alot of different situations. Some feel their contractions strong and some don't. And some are dialated for weeks and some dialate all the way from a 1 to 10 within a day . And some ladies waters break and some have it done by the doctor. I just don't know what to expect for me lol. My mom keeps telling me that contractions just feel like tightness and that's what I'll feel.
