Avatar f tn Why does it seem like I only experience contractions at night time. I'm only 37 weeks & I haven't lost a mucus plug so I'm sure they are braxton Hicks. But I only feel them at night time, anybody else like this?
6295353 tn?1395241495 I just didnt think much of it because you know its just at night while I sleep and it been like that for the past 3 nights but they are very mild they dont progress or go and come back its like a pain that is just there. So idk if thats normal or not.
4838572 tn?1367706719 No matter what type of activities I do during the day I always get contractions at night and they are strong. Last night my bf woke me up askin me if I was okay because I guess I was whining and tossing and turning in my sleep and he thought I was goin into labor. Hopefully my baby isn't over due because I can't take this much longer.
Avatar f tn So im just over 37 wks and i get braxton hicks all day but thats just the tightening and no pain but every night for a week now i wake up and im having like period cramps and aching in my uterus. I just wanna know why only at night? This is my 3rd baby and before this pregnancy i never had any braxton hicks i never even knew what they felt like. With my other 2 i basically just went into labor with no warning signs.
Avatar f tn It said they may be regular but change in intensity and will often go away for similar reasons to bh contractions. I has cramping ever 7 min one night and contractions every 5 another night both times lasting more than an hour then just quit!
9523089 tn?1414211966 I felt about 5-10 small contractions the day before in the afternoon so I took castor oil that night and bam I went into labor the next morning.
Avatar f tn I went to the er last night and im 1cm and 70% effaced n was in so much pain that i dont remember having when i was pregnant with my son!! But they sent me home,. I was wondering how far labor is??
Avatar f tn Im 37w4d and ive been having bh contractions all night. At 11 pm i timed them and they were irregular after an hour or 2 i decided to go to sleep. Well i woke up and the first thing i noticed is... Im still having contractions! Im uncomfortable but not quite in pain. Maybe slightly crampier than last night. Is this false labor? Im going to call my doctors office in an hour or 2 and ask if i should go in to l&d and get a stress test just in case.. What is this?? Could it be early labor?
9947231 tn?1406836084 Contractions that are not persistent, intensify as they progress and become constant are probably just Braxton Hicks contractions, they are more so common at later hours of the day and night. If they go away, probably the case.
7019649 tn?1396792517 Anybody else get woken up at night sometimes with contractions? Mine have been going away within 30 minutes after I drink water and change positions.
Avatar f tn I have been experiencing them as well since week 34, now I am 36 weeks in and get them at night as well. I don't think you're going to go into labor early, your body is is just preparing for babies arrival and dilating for the big day!
4268628 tn?1375041176 I have gone into preterm labor with each of my pgs on and off starting at about 20 weeks. Usally I went to the hospital and my ob met me there. I was kept while I got a shot to stop my contractions, and i wasnt allowed to leave until the contractions stopped. Based on that this time I am getting a weekly progesterone shot to prevent the preterm contractions and labor.
Avatar n tn It's just a swab culture of your vagina. I get it done every two weeks because of my contractions. It determines if you're at risk of going into labor within next two weeks. If it's negative than you have a 99% chance of not going into labor and if it's positive than that only means you have a 50% chance of going into labor.
Avatar f tn We came in when my contractions were 20 mins apart (because we live so far from our hospital) and by the time we got here they went from 20 mins apart to 4 mins apart. But im not dilating past 2cm so now they have me walking for a few hours to see if it helps. If it doesn't they'll send me home. Im terrified going home with my contractions this close together.
Avatar f tn Im 23weeks and i was admitted into the hospital. I worked until 3pm and my job requires me on my feet all day long. I went to the hospital after work and they hooked me up to the monitor and I was having a few contractions, so I they hooked me up to an IV and I drank lots of water.. I went to sleep and through the night I didn't have any contractions. My question is. Is this normal to have with being dehydrated? The dr just kept talking of babies being born at 24 weeks.
Avatar n tn I had the WORST False Labor Contractions ever last night. I thought it was the real thing because my stomach was very hard & it felt like my baby was curled up in a ball. I woke up out of my sleep in pain, had to Vomit & felt very weak. I'm a first time mom & after being in pain like I was last night i'm afraid to see how the real ones feel. I'm 39 weeks as of today. Has anyone experienced false labor contractions & gotten mad because they wasn't the real thing?
Avatar f tn Last week on monday i was 2.5 cm dilated & last night i was having badd contractions 4 mins apart so i went to L&D & i was dialted to 4. They kept me over night but said they wouldnt give me meds to help labor but they also wouldnt stop my contractions. They checked me again at 7 am & i hadnt made any progress so they let me go home. Im still having contractions, but not as strong. Wen should i be expecting REAL labor?
Avatar f tn chamomile tea does and especially if you add a plant called ground cumin im mexican and thats what my mother and aunts took to get ready for labor and im also 39 weeks and at night I get small contractions but I guess its getting me ready for the real deal should be soon my due date is in 6 days (: good luck !!!!
Avatar f tn This happened to me last night! I had painful contractions all night but they went away this morning. This is my 3rd baby though. I text my midwife and she said to take a bath and relax. You could call your Dr just to see what she says.
Avatar f tn I'm 39 weeks today and last night went to er for my contractions they were about 5-10 minutes apart they sent me home saying it was probably early labor well today for the last 1 1/2 hours I've been having contractions about 2 minutes apart with lower back pain as well as some cramping lasting about a minute.
Avatar f tn I did castor oil at 38 weeks when i was in early labor. It is true, it does stimulate uterine contractions, BUT!!.., it won't dilated you.. I had extreme contractions..less than two minutes apart and was in labor, but I wasn't dilating.... so the docs sent me home in excruciating pain and j just went right back, they ended up giving me morphine to help me relax and dilate. I did try it and I wouldn't recommend it because it very well may just cause more complications...good luck..
Avatar f tn m already 3cm dialated and 60% thinned out. Started having contractions at 9pm and they got to be every 5 minutes apart but the pain was still tolerable. They lasted till 2am then I got two really strong ones and now nothing! I'm ready to meet my princess!
