Contractions using apostrophes

Common Questions and Answers about Contractions using apostrophes

contractions

Avatar f tn Hi! USUALLY contractions cause dilation. That is most commonly the way it works, although some people can dilate without contractions, and others won't dilate even with the strongest contractions. The nifedical should slow down the contractions, or at least make them milder. It may give you headaches or make you retain water. Depending on how far along you are though, it could be pretty important to keep them stopped, so follow your doctor's good advice. Congratulations in advance.
Avatar f tn Anyone familiar with the book series would recognize it without, and apostrophes in given names can be a nuisance when it comes to filling out school forms, the department of records, etc. Computer-generated forms often drop the apostrophe or sometimes end the name at the apostrophe, or inform you that you are not allowed to do punctuation, and it's annoying to have the forms world get it wrong all the time. That said, keep it if it matters. Like both names.
Avatar n tn Apparently apostrophes are not accepted. Anyway I would consider seeing a doctor as your height and weight are very healthy and should not be the root cause of any health issues.
Avatar f tn So its normal to have contractions every timei have a bm? That doesn't seem to make sense /: anyone else?
Avatar f tn I've been having uterrine contractions & cramps for awhile now along with alot of pressure down there & I feel very nauseous like I need to throw up but can't. I have a feeling it's gonna be a long nighttt!
Avatar n tn I don't have to use the bathroom it slowed down after an hour but now I contract hard when I have to fart this is something new started today
Avatar n tn How nastier contractions hurt? I'm scared half to death, Lol. Is a epidural necessary?
Avatar f tn My due date was Sept 8, 2014 but my daughter was quite comfy so I got scheduled for induction on Sept 9. At 7:30am I was brought to the l&d room where they set up the monitors and everything. At 9:30 they started pitocin which didn't do much to help dilate me more I was already at 4cm. The contractions were more painful then i ended up being able to handle so i got the epidural. At noon the doc came in and broke my water which made me automatically go to 5cm.
Avatar f tn m already having contractions its just not getting stronger..... I need to get a nursing bra; wash my dog; clean my room;pack my hospital bag;....
Avatar m tn Not sure why it stuck random characters in there in place of apostrophes lol.
6520484 tn?1399082398 So I've been timing my contractions for the last while and they are about 60 seconds long 5 - 7 minutes apart. I expected them to be more painful though? And now my little guy has the hiccups. Did anyone else have these kind of contractions? They are tightening with back and abdominal pain. Even when I adjust positions they are continuing.
905197 tn?1282232033 If you think you might be having contractions or braxton hicks contractions take this time to think about them and practice for labor. Relax on some and breath and others distract yourself and ppractice different positions and see what the position does to the contraction. Make it harder or ease it. THis is best to do now aas you will be at home and not hocked up to iv's etc... Best of luck and I hope this has answered your questions.
Avatar f tn Had a sweep Thursday, I was 2 cm at 38 weeks. Lost my mucous plug yesterday morning. Cramping at night but no real contractions. I have 7 days to go but I really don't want to go another week or more... Feels like I could go more. Hoping to go into labor tonight! I successfully used castor oil with my first pregnancy at 37 weeks.
Avatar f tn I was 38+3 already 5cm but was getting no contractions. I put 2oz of castir oil in a milk shake.. then went for a walk. Yes it made me poop and it made me get bad cramps. So after about 1 hour and a half after taking it i went to l&d i was getting contractions and they admitted me. I had my baby 40 mins later.That was my 3rd pregnancy. Oh and my friend did it the same day and we had our sons the same day. She took it the same way i did.
Avatar f tn That's what it sounds like. I had them off and on randomly for a few days, then nothing. After 2 days i had those terrible menstrual like cramps and heavy colored discharge; i called in to ask about them, the nurse told me i was in preterm labor. Turns out it was round ligaments and a bruised appendix (he's a kicker), and the back pain from earlier was just Hicks contractions.
Avatar f tn FROM THE HIV EXPERTS HERE AT MEDHELP: "As far as HIV is concerned, there is no known risk of getting HIV from performing oral sex on an infected partner, even if that person's genital secretions get into your eyes or if you swallow" DR HOOK There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex. The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way.
4658567 tn?1364142123 How do you time contractions?? From when you start to feel the contraction coming or when the contraction starts to get painful?
Avatar f tn I def had to up my water intake, which made a HUGE difference, but I also am retaining so much water that my hand was hurting from the swelling. I am using a wrist guard which helps alot. The pressure is less and I only start to feel contractions when I over exert myself by walking too far (down the hallway!), or pushing myself to work with some of the harder kids. I just hope I make it to the end of the school year!!
Avatar f tn I'm having contractions here and there for about a week, well today they've been all day but not regular and obviously not strong or painful yet. Any ideas on how to get them to be more productive? I would like it of they would get longer, stronger, and closer together ASAP.
17338875 tn?1455776702 Wow, this thread seems to really hate apostrophes. Sorry everything is so garbled. Melatonin is not for everyone -- it works best when the problem is your body clock having been adversely affected. I think you're probably on way too much D, so you want to look into that just for your long-term health. You don't dose someone on a vitamin just because you "feel" something, you have to do blood tests to determine if you're in fact low on D.
Avatar f tn That may be a depending on the person thing but I have never got a uti from bath oil. I have dry skin especially while pregnant and use lots of oil and other stuff in bath water. Some people may be more prone to getting uti.
Avatar f tn I'm 34weeks and 5days I'm having contractions and going at the bathroom atleast every 5minutea
Avatar f tn I have heard some bad things about the medicine they put into your vagina to ripen and dilate the cervix. Would just using pitocen to start contractions and then dilate naturally work well instead?
