how to make contractions stronger

Anyone know how to make your contractions stronger & make it the real deal? I'm having them now & they feel like I'm starting my period coming about every 15-20 minutes... sometimes 10 min. But they ALWAYS go away after a while :/ i mean I think that's what they are. They are tolerable & not painful but are not comfortable! I'm hoping they will get stronger!

Ok so I am getting contractions annoying niggling back ones that spread round my front they come at night which makes it hard to sleep im just fed up now and want to make them stronger and more frequent I am 2cm dilated so far. Any advice???

Well I went in last Thursday with them that way and they sent me home but I was only a cm dilated and 50 effaced. I'm a first time mom so not sure what to do. I want to go in because they are stronger then what they were last week but I don't want to end up being sent home.

Theres heaps of free apps you can download that will do it for you ..

Well it has to start sometime..... Some women feel contractions like cramps all day until they get stronger and closer together, other women ( like me) wake up in the middle of the night and their water breaks or you feel strong contractions that are really close together and getting stronger!!! Mine stated at 4 minutes apart and pretty strong and only increased from there until I was in so much pain I was puking less than 3 hours later!!!

Sounds like contractions or braxton hicks how far along are you? I have been having contractions they feel like period pains and get stronger however mine arent close enough together there about 20min apart make sure you time them!!

Good luck its almost time..

How often can you get braxton hicks contractions?

I will like to know how effective is the red raspberry tea to induce labor. My due date is tomorrow and my OB told me to drink in since I'm not dilated or effaced at all. The baby is already head down and in position.

t go to the hospital until they get strong enough to take my breath away.is there a way to get these contractions stronger and progress labor?

So I am currently 36 weeks.. Last night I had pretty severe contractions about 5 min apart.. When I was about 27-28 weeks I went to L&D because I was having contractions my doctor prescribed me on some pills that make the contractions go away so I took one pill last night they usually kick in pretty fast but after an hour and half I still had them I didn't go to the ER because they weren't getting stronger..

You're full term, so having contractions now is okay. BH aren't regular, they're sporadic and can vary in strength. Real contractions are regular, and get stronger as they progress. Have you passed the mucus plug? Also, call your Dr. It's better to make a fuss about nothing than to possibly injure your baby because you don't want to be a bother.

What were your symptoms if you don't mind me asking? Were they really painful? How scary!

Some women have diarrhea days before labor because the body is wanting to clean itself out before delivery. How close are they and are they getting stronger?

m 4cm dilated and 75% thinned out! My doctor sent me to the hospital to get monitored and my contractions were not regular so they sent me home. My doctor also wants to induce me next week but I do not wanna be induced at all. So can anyone give me any tips to bring on labor?!

how far along are ypu ?

True contractions are not relieved but an 8oz glass of water, resting on your left side for an hour and wake you when you are sleeping. True contractions cause you to make cervical change. I don't know how far along you are. They can feel like a squeezing and then release, can feel like back pain that comes and goes. Regardless, try 8oz glass of water, resting on left side (for good blood flow to baby) and then if it doesn't resolve call your OBGYN office.

With my first i went into labour the next day. This time around i was 6 cm when she did my sweep and i immediarely started getting contractions and they sent me to l&d where they gave me pitocin to make sure my labour didnt stop as i was having false labour for 2 weeks.

I am due Wednesday and my doctor told me to make sure to time contractions and wait at home until they are 5-7 minutes apart for at least 1 hour. Also, you shouldn't be able to talk through the contraction. Hope this helps.

So this morning I was having contractions and they were pretty strong, well i bought some castrol oil to help things along. I took it about 9am and start having more contractions around 3pm and there was quiet a few stronger ones which i was excited for. Well after like 8 contractions they stopped. Took another dosage of castor oil around 5 and now nothing again..things need to happen and continue to happen.

U will know when there real with my first I kept thinking I was in labor but they always sent me home so when real labor hit I knew why! Cause it was nothing compared to what I was going to feel! This time I told the hubby no false alarms I will know!

Try not to worry. Contractions feel like period pains but they start off mild, gradually get stronger and then fade away again. The more contractions you get, the stronger they become. Also if you place your hand on your tummy you can usually feel it harden during a contraction. Trust me when I say you will know when it starts. Im on pregnancy number 5.

My doc tried to induce me but my insurance wont allow it! How can I bring on labor???

Real contractions hurt and get stronger astime goes by. Braxtons, are very unconfortable, and will tend to lesson by drinking water, going to the bathroom, and swithing positions.
