contractions

Avatar f tn I'm already three days past my due date and yesterday morning woke up having contractions. They got to the point where they were four minutes apart so I went to the hospital. When I got there they had slowed down! I got sent home because I'm not all the way effaced yet but my contractions continued. I took a long walk and got home and fell asleep. When I woke up they were almost stopped!
9222490 tn?1406013792 I started having irregular but moderately intense contractions. Then throughout Monday my contractions almost waned completely. Then around 11 PM. They started up and I went to the hospital around 2 30 Am on Tuesday when the contractions were 5 min apart for 1 hour. Had him at 9 40 am Tuesday. Yeah your little one may very well be coming within a day or so.:).
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 n tn My doctor said you have to be atleast 37 weeks before they won't stop contractions, but ideally baby wouldn't come before 39 weeks
Avatar f tn m just bummed out that i have to keep going through these pains and im not dilated at all! They keep stopping my contractions but im tired of going in for hurting so bad just to get brethne shots! I just wish they would make up their minds and come or stop with the contractions! I want to see them so bad!
8550901 tn?1400740690 breast stimulation also cause uterine contractions... spicy food is supposed to upset your digestive track to cause contractions (personally have not tried it)... long walks help the baby get lower by pushing the head down through the birth canal and help you dilate... Pineapple also helps ripen the cervix... hot baths will relax you, but not help with labor progression-- helps when your in active labor having contractions. ..
Avatar f tn Iv been having constant contractions for about four hours now. Prayers for labor would be greatly appreciated!?! Iv been having issues with them stopping after a while lol im 38weeks and ready!

4904373 tn?1372032756 i hope they dont stop hun! i was having contractions for a week but they kept stopping. but the good thing was when i went into labor and they went to break my waters i was already 9cm!
Avatar f tn I think i might be having contractions 2 months early, but i'm not sure, what do i do to figure out?
7892775 tn?1395673991 t talk through them it takes everythingto ffocus breathing. Just not sure if they are regular or not. I tried contraction timer and it says they are averaging about 3 minutes apart and lasting average of a minute. Not sure if I should call or wait no matter whether I change position or activity they aren't stopping.
Avatar f tn go ahead & time them for an hour. if they get stronger and/or closer together call your doctor or the hospital.
Avatar f tn My Dr is not sure what is causing them. He has me pretty much on bed rest and they are not stopping. Do you know what can be causing my contractions?
1813627 tn?1337722375 Right before I went to go to bed I had some bad cramping in lower abdomen. I went to relieve myself and turns out to be diarea ( sorry about tmi) so after fell asleep for about 45 min then woke up horrible cramping and pain top of belly I though it was because my stomach and BM seem to be off tonight. But now the pain is coming and going and even after a hot shower and cold glass of water it's not stopping. Could this be contractions? I thought you felt contractions lower belly.
Avatar f tn So I'm dilated 4 80% and -1 but my contractions keep stopping its so fusterating
Avatar f tn Well, by your body being ready usually it means you are dilated, thinnd out, have regular contractions usually less than 10 mins apart without stopping no matter what, extreme pressure, mucous plug fallen out, and maybe even water breaking.
Avatar f tn Not sure if this is the real deal. I know I'm having contractions right now. Have been since five thirty today (it's nine right now making that the and a half hours).I can't seem to time them because it seems constant. They always hurt bad, some moments worse than others, but I can't distinguish a starting and stopping point. Any suggestions?
Avatar n tn Now I woke up today (June 7) with my stomach hard and lower back irritation has gotten allot worse. And pain has increased. Baby is still moving but i have not experienced this with my other children! Please help? Idk if Im in labor....?
Avatar f tn Did I just set something off? Ugh!!! Second baby, first was all and only back pain so not sure what contractions feel like, I was induced first go round... Definitely having the hot back pain too.
Avatar f tn My labour was like this with my daughter ( shes 4 now ) and when i explained to my midwife about my contractions stopping and starting,she advised me to eat lol....apparently it does something to your uterus and helps it contract. Even if you dont fancy eating big meals hun,eat picky bits.....it worked for me,contractions came thick and fast at 11.30pm and she was born 1.07am so it might be worth ago.
3182438 tn?1359489871 ) And It made me very shaky and made the babies heart rate go up (doctors will explain them both being side affects) but it helped my contractions slow down then they stopped. Talk to your doctors about stopping your contractions, good luck!!!
