9861610 tn?1427856389 Oh my goodness this is so me! I'm 37+3 and for the last week I've been getting contractions. They'll start and get closer and then when they get to about 5 min apart they will slowly start to die off. I was excited at first but now I'm just annoyed. My poor mother has to be sick of false alarms by now and I don't even tell my husband about it anymore because then he just gets all anxious.
Avatar m tn Since last oct. I have stopped and strated smoking about 3 times. Before that and chantix I could never stop but have stopped for almost 3 moths and the other times for a little less. When, I started smoking again, it was only for about a week. I seem to start when I get real upset. I know this isn't good but it's alot better than before and I will keep on and get it right. anyone else had this problem?

9222490 tn?1406013792 30 and then I waited to see if another one would come around 10 and NOTHING. It's now 11 and I still haven't gotten anymore. I feel so disappointed. .. Has anyone else had labor start and just stop out of no where? And did it start back that day??
5492154 tn?1374801006 I'm 28+5 with my third little boy and just like his brothers he is trying to come early too. I woke up this morning and was spotting. I've not been feeling good for about a week and thought hopefully it was just Braxton hicks but nope I'm hooked to an Iv for fluids and had the shot to stop my contractions. Atleast I'm only dialated to 1.
Avatar f tn m so confused because they keep coming strong but then slowing and softening and no they are most defiantly contractions. Some of which I can't walk through. It's been over 24 hours with them like this, I'm beyond frustrated and ready to meet my girl!!!
Avatar f tn I would go back to the doctor they may want to do something else to keep baby in for a few weeks good luck and prayers are being sent your way...
Avatar f tn I am almost 38 weeks pregnant, due March 29 but so far I am measuring ahead. I am 60% effaced and I'm 3-4cm dilated. Can anyone give me any ideas to help naturally induce labor or to get contractions started? I've been walking, my husband and I have been having sex, I even tired the milk and orange juice thing... Anything else? My belly feels so tight just no steady contractions. My doctor believes I'll be in within a week but I have no pain and very irregular contractions.
800427 tn?1324945719 i remained in bed and drank my water and had about 3-4 more of the sharp stabbing pains in my vagina but no more contractions. after an hour of laying in bed and no contractions i decided to get up and start doing things (dishes, laundry...etc.) while bouncing back and fourth to the computer ..the usual. that brings me to now...i just had two more painful (but not too painful) ones 20ish seconds long...10 minutes apart. and now one more as i am typing about 16 minutes after the last one.
Avatar f tn Ftm here and I'm getting contractions that feel much different than the braxton hicks I've been getting before. These are a bit more intense and include cramping and sometimes back pain but they keep stopping after a while. I'm so frustrated and confused about what to do. Every now and then I'll get a slightly wet feeling in my undies and I'll check but it's nothing. How am I ever going to figure out when it's the real thing?
Avatar n tn I start counseling next Wednesday. I am just frustrated, as I went through three weeks of severe anxiety waiting for the effects to lessen, and I even asked her if we should continue for another week, or up the dosage, but she felt like the side effects were more severe than they should be and I was likely not going to be benefiting from the drug. So she is trying to avoid another week of misery for me, but gosh, I hate starting over again.
Avatar f tn atleast... but now i am only allowed to relax and shower and cook and take care of my two.boys but.mainly have feet up...
4476031 tn?1374200674 with me, i had my water break, and contractions wouldnt start, so they induced me the next day, and when contractions started i felt presure, and contractions were more and more frequent, and pressure at the back can mean its real contractions..
1523981 tn?1311318595 Went to bed and now they seem to have slowed down however I keep waking up to pee and I wake up starving not sure why. I also felt sick for most of the day and threw up around lunch time This is baby number 2 and it's completely different then the first. I'm just waiting for my water to break like it did last time. I think I'm still having some contractions in my sleep as I'm dreaming that I'm in the hospital. Any ideas on how to get things moving.
Avatar f tn It could be early labor but if you can't distinguish when they start then I don't think they're the real deal...
Avatar f tn I started on crestor, than realized I am ttc and starting not feeling well and am on my ttw...I test for my pregnancy saturday. I took the crestor for 4 days than stopped and its been a little over a week. Should I restart and then stop if pregnant or not bother because of the possibility of there being a fetus? I am just worried about my health.
