Avatar f tn m still having contractions and they will not do anything. She told me that I can go to work on Monday. Im so confused.
Avatar f tn I'm due yesterday... A few contractions lately but, not much else! Hoping she'll come soon! Dr says only dialted 1cm aa of yesterday.
Avatar f tn Im not sure if these are contractions, but every time I clean the house and especially while doing dishes my stomach gets very hard and I get sharp pain. The pain goes away pretty quickly but I always have to come lay down. No bleeding or anything unusual while this happens, just pain. Anyone who can help me?
Avatar f tn All I feel is bad back pain and its coming and going I'm not really feeling anything in my stomach area its all in my back. It takes my breath away.
Avatar f tn So she's still not out, am a week over due. I get contractions or false contractions. I've tried everything. Castor oil(made me constipated) sex (painful) walking (my legs hurt) squats, on all fours. I DON'T want to get medically induced:(. Does anyone know of anything that actually works???
Avatar f tn m due in 2 days, im not dilated at all or anything i have some contractions that just always stop. Do yall recommend anything i can do to help dilate me? A work out a dance? Idk just anything, i am walking but anything else y'all have heard that works to help with dilation. Or anything i can eat or do to help make contractions real, other than castor oil of corse. Im not willing to take that unless i go over due for to much since i dont want to get induced.
Avatar f tn Walking is fine, but you can try and make it more fun than that. Dance a little, nothing that will make you fall but still lol go up and down the stairs, again don't run. sit on your bed and bounce or use one of those yoga balls.
Avatar f tn ( 39 weeks and 4days and nothing...just mild contractions every now and then.

Avatar f tn If you can reach, try putting pressure on your big toes, that can bring on contractions. Try walking and doing lunges, that helped me go into labor with my second pregnancy.
5251716 tn?1365719074 I had a c section with my first back in 2009. Im planning on doing a vbac this time around without any pain medications. Is anyone else due in Dec that's also doing a vbac?
470885 tn?1326329037 I'll be 37 weeks this week. Went to the OB this morning and he swabbed for Group B Strep. And gave me my papers....just in case I need to go to the hospital between now and my next appointment next week! I have no idea if my cervix is doing anything on its own this time because he doesn't start internals until next week.....I hope I can go on my own this time, rather than having to be induced like last time.
Avatar f tn So I'm sitting here with contractions 1-3 minutes apart and what is my boyfriend doing ? Sitting on his computer coding . . . I'm about ready to scream . Gahh .
1816154 tn?1463430018 i saw my doctor last week and he said i am having contractions but they are not strong enough to do anything to the cervix to help efface or dilate it=/. it seems like now my contractions are getting alittle stronger but not by much now that im 38w1d. could with in a week could i be effaced at all? what types of feelings would you get if the baby is starting to drop or if your effacing or if your body is doing any changes? im planning for a vba2c for my birth of my lil girl.
Avatar f tn I am 39 weeks 3 days. I am scheduled to get induced next Wednesday night when I will be 40+2. My baby feels as if he is getting higher instead of lower. I am afraid to get induced and have complications. All the women in my family have natural births usually a week before due date. I feel as if I've done something wrong or I'm not doing enough for my baby. I still haven't felt a single contraction or Braxton hicks.
6363715 tn?1394225781 I do have a high pain tolerence but i feel like there not contractions cause every one says there so extreme. Ots totally possible for them to not be very painful tho right?
Avatar f tn Which is like tightening or something like that. Idk ive been wondering if ive just not noticed or if im not having them. I suppose it normal. No clue though.
Avatar n tn Saying BH don't hurt is inaccurate. Everyone's pain tolerance is different. I've had some that really hurt and realized I was over doing it and not drinking enough. I've had others that was more like oh no big deal. None of it made me go to the hospital but it wasn't fun either. The round ligament pain people talk about is better described as a stretching or pulled muscle feeling. It doesn't come and go after 20 seconds.
Avatar f tn So I'm 31wks and have gotten morning sickness back. The day befre yesterday I got very sick and couldn't keep nothing down, not even water for over 24hrs. My appointment yesterday I did the usual pee in a cup and as soon as I gave it to the nurse she knew something was wrong. My urine was very oarnge and I was severly dehydrated with R1 protein and +2 keytones. My doctor checked my cervix and sent me to labor and delivery because I was dilated and having contractions fro dehydration.
Avatar f tn so i am dialeted at one cm and having constant horrible contractions doctors are not doing. anything.. my last pregnancy i had a emergency csection. has anyone else been in this situation and what happened. .
