contractions

7913021 tn?1418048620 My Question is, can you tell a difference between contractions vs. Stomach/bowel cramps? Because it obviously might make you have diarrhea but can you tell the difference between the two kinds of pain???
7913021 tn?1418048620 I had mine done the day before my due date, was cramping for hours and about 12 hours after getting it done I noticed a very noticeable decrease in movement with my baby but was still feeling him move just not nearly as much so I went to sleep woke up next morning & realized I wasn't feeling him move at all...went to L&D and turns out I was in labor! Doctor said a lot of times you'll notice a decrease in movement when labor isbeginning.
Avatar n tn Im due september 9th I dont have any contractions jusy a few braxtom hicks any other women having cramping yet
Avatar f tn The risk is just too much for making baby sick if he/she has a bowel movement in the womb and inhakes it. If you can stomachs tea I hear raspberry leaf tea is a great starter, along with nipple stimulation and even sex.
1628090 tn?1300193423 Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder, in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. Dystonia is more of a continuous vs, intermittent condition.
Avatar f tn Can you feel contractions in your back????
1911870 tn?1345419009 If you are dehydrated or the baby had a growth spurt it maybe fetal movement instead of contractions! I had that and when they hooked me up to the machine to measure the contractions every time I had the pain it registered as fetal movement and they told me I was dehydrated and he was going through a growth spurt in which he freaked out because there is not much room left in there! Almost like he was trapped..lol!
Avatar f tn The movement I dnt mind. I am 37+4 and was stuck in traffic tonight had the worst contraction. It's not like I can stop driving especially since u have other kids.
Avatar f tn t had any more contractions except on my back, and the last 2 days my baby has barely moved. I know that movement normally slows down a bit and is harder to feel, but I've only felt maybe 2 roll/kicks all day yesterday. I'm trying everything I can think of. I'm waiting for my dr office to open I'm an hr so I can call and come in to get checked and make sure he's ok...I'm so nervous!
8365413 tn?1407251515 Does the baby move during contractions.? & does the movement hurts? I cant remember.
Avatar n tn Hope everything is okay. I know they will probably just make you wait until pains/contractions get closer together. But it doesn't hurt to call and check!
Avatar n tn You can definitely feel the difference between gas vs movement/kicks. It takes more time for first time moms. Im one and it took 18 weeks for me to feel a tiny bit of movement and 20 to feel full on kicks.it varies..no worries..
Avatar f tn I've had contractions for the last 3 days. Multiple times they have last a few hours where I was timing them and got to like 6 minutes. The pelvic pain and even pain in my stomach is so uncomfortable and the little guys movement has slowed down. My mom keeps telling me to go get checked and I'm not sure. Any advice? ??
Avatar f tn Can you feel the baby move throughout contractions? I have been having frequent contractions so I don't know if I can feel the baby or if she is still sleeping.
7249862 tn?1392252689 Of course you know everyone is different... With my 1st pregnancy I had an epidural & with the second I went natural and it was the most excruciating pain I've ever been in. My contractions were measuring off the charts. I swore if I ever got pregnant again there'd be no way on God's green earth that I go natural again.
Avatar f tn Ugh I'm on the same boat with you I'm 36 weeks n been feeling the same!!
Avatar f tn Just to prepare myself, and i know everyone is different, can anyone tell me in comparison what contractions feel like? Im 32 weeks 4 days and know what the braxton hicks feel like but i want to mentally prepare for the real thing.
Avatar f tn 38+4 weeks and just got brought out of a dead sleep because my stomach hurt so bad. I keep thinking that I'm going to have a bowel movement but everytime I try nothing happens. I dont want to wake my hubby up and run to the hospital if I just have to use the bathroom, but im beginning to think its contractions. Anyone feel this way??
Avatar f tn Bh can be different for each pregnancy as far as pain but your stomach gets really tight and hard. Real contractions are similar but they are regular and you can time/predict them.
489099 tn?1286220981 Contractions feel nothing like Braxton Hicks contractions. They are very painful whereas BH contractions are just uncomfortable. It's hard to explain how they feel but you will definitely know when you are having them. They are pretty powerful.
Avatar f tn I heard its alot more painful and intense and trust me when I say waiting to go into labor ***** as well the contractions but w induction the contractions start up intense right away
Avatar f tn When I was 8 1/2 weeks I started feeling the flutters of movement. At 12 I started feeling it kick. At 15 you could actually see it kicking my belly from the outside. Now I am almost 19 wks and have not felt the baby move at all since saturday. Before I felt it move every single day. I know I am still early on in the pregnancy but should I be concerned? I am suppose to have a dr appt on jan 9th.
