Common Questions and Answers about Painful contractions not progressing
contractions
I thought for sure it was labor because with my first I had contractions for three days 5 minutes apart and mildly painful but only dilated a cm a day until they admitted me at 3 cm and the rest of my labor took over 12 hours. This time I didn't want to be in the hospital that long so I waited it out tried to sleep, walked my treadmill and kept busy but the third day this time they went away and I didn't dilate at all!!
I been having small contractions ever since 1am and it's noe 10:37pm and the contractions are a little more painful but still not close enough like for me to go to the hospital. I'm 40w+2d as for today and at my last appointment which it was last Thursday I was completely closed not dilated or effaced at all. Those this mean that I'm progressing slowly? I still don't want to go to the L&D because I know they will send me home as my contractions are not that close.
Yes, not all contractions are painful. They only get painful when you're in active labor and its progressing.
Has anyone's doctor sent them home when they were having painful contractions every 2-6 minutes?
I believe the difference is whether or not you are progressing. Like the contractions getting more regular and closer together, becoming more dilated. I hope this helped.
My first contractions felt like I had to have a BM, a lot of cramping and pressure, then it just went to very painful cramps that started in my back and wrapped around to my uterus.
She never described them with pain, so I told her that maybe she was just lucky and her contractions werent painful, because A LOT of women on here have described them as painful and that's what I need to prepare myself for
If your dilation is progressing they will most likely admit you. If it is not, they may choose to give you another hour, or may just discharge you. The crappy part is, even if you have bad contractiona 4-5min apart but are not dilating any further they will still send you home and you just keep suffering from labor contractions until you progress more or (in my case) you get induced (I stayed with mt contractions for 6 weeks. Awful.).
Id rather be due in two days and not progressing very much than not due for months and progressing way to fast for my lil one to cook for the right amount of time:( i hate being scared of progressing more and having him so damn early
I'm being induced on Sunday morning I was due march 19 I am not contracting my baby is easily 9 pounds. And i am around 4 cm dialated. And no signs of progressing earlier. Super miserable but mappy I am finally getting this baby out and to meet her!
Last weekend i had what im guessing braxton hicks because it wasnt very painful and wasnt progressing but it was all night every 5 minutes. My midwife told me to take a tylenol and if u can sleep throught it then its not labour so i did and i slept.
t mean your labor is progressing fast enough. I was sent home one night even though my contractions were every 4-5min. Even though I was contracting labor wasn't progressing. I went back the next night in serious active labor and delivered within 4 hours of walking into the hospital. Be patient. Take a warm bath, and go for a drive down a bumpy road, it helps!
I started labor naturally but at 6cm I stopped progressing so they popped my water, did the epidural, and gave me pitocin which made it way more painful. Within an hour of them hooking me up with pitocin my daughter was born, only 14 minutes of pushing and a minor internal tear that needed a few stitches.
My recommendation, try to have your water popped first +if youre dilated a bit already) and give it a little bit before getting the pitocin.
I had it done Wednesday and I've been having contractions ever since but they're not progressing. They're painful as hell but they're not getting any closer. My fiance and I had sex last night to try and help and all day I have just felt so much pressure and I can barely walk without feeling like I'm going to tear something in my vagina.. Is this normal have you ever had this happen to you? I'm 39 weeks and 4 days.
I have really painful contractions but theyre less than a minute away and then they stop for 5-10 minutes then they come back for less than a minute and come and go and stuff they are VERY painful but I was checked today and im not dilated or effaced at al
