contractions

Avatar n tn I went to the hospital last night but I have t dilated any yet. The contractions were pretty frequent but they come in go as they please. Could this be signs of early labor?
Avatar f tn Go to the hospital and they will hok you up to see if you are beginning labor. Sex can cause labor in later pregnancy. Im having my second baby and that sounds right. Keep time of how far the tightness is between each other and how long it stays tight.

Avatar f tn What are the signs of early labor?
Avatar f tn My third I was having bad irregular Braxton hicks contractions for a week then on the early morning of my due date I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst constant contraction pains then went straight to hospital.
8793709 tn?1409594060 There's so much ur body does / undergoes in preparation for labour: baby turns head down, baby drops / head gets fixed, lose your mucus plug, water breaks, contractions start, dilation, effacement, etc etc. It seems that some of these don't occur at all or have to be triggered during actual labour. but in what order and what stage of pregnancy do these events usually occur??
Avatar f tn Did anyone ever get all of them and actually go into labor in a few weeks...
Avatar f tn t rely be able to tell if your water broke if you were in the shower or bath but the most important thing to tell by is your contractions none of the other stuff you named off are really signs of labor bcuz a lot of those are just common with pregnancy but if your having steady contractions 5 minutes or less apartthat last less than a minute each and they are coming consistently than yes go in immediately!
Avatar f tn Okay what signs are you having? Are you dilated? Contractions are normal throughout your pregnancy beginning as early as 6 weeks pregnant. These are called Braxton Hicks contractions. They prepare your uterus for delivery. Back pain is not a labor sign. Many pregnant women have back pain throughout their pregnancies. My second pregnancy had the WORST back pain that left me unable to move at times. So cramps and back pain? Don't think you're in labor.

Avatar f tn So this is my second pregnancy but I never went into labor or had contractions with my first because he was breech. I was woken up with bad cramps, nausea and very loose stools about 2 hours ago and the cramping has stopped but I still feel extremely nauseous. I'm only 30 weeks and I'm just concerned because I've read a lot about labor starting and having loose stools and flu like symptoms.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever experienced NO signs of labor approaching and within a couple of hours or a day or two ended up going into labor? I ask because I am currently 39+2weeks and so far havent really had any signs. I want to know there is hope my baby girl can come with me having no signs leading to labor. I dont want to go past my due date or have to be induced. Anyway, please answer if you have experienced this, I would love to hear your story!
Avatar f tn The moment i left the hospital i started getting contractions. I ended up back in about an hour later and had my son wihin 6 hrs! I had no idea that day i was gonna go into labour but as soon as my contractions started i knew.
Avatar f tn ve had problems with bleeding throughout pregnancy due to the placenta being in the wrong place. Luckily my scan at 28 weeks showed it had moved and baby was already in the birthing position and laying rather low. However, the past couple weeks I have had bad lower back pain and a dull period like pain in my abdomen (alongside Braxton Hicks)! I also had a bit of a runny tummy... but don't know if that's due to the Sekot I had yesterday evening. What doesn't help...
Avatar f tn Keynthing is if you can't talk through contractions normally your likely in labor. Learned that from a class at my OB.
Avatar f tn I remember with my first son I had BH but the day of they were increasing in frequency ... that's when I knew they weren't BH n they were the real deal.
Avatar f tn So i will be 39 weeks on Fri I have nine days left till my due date still no baby no signs of labor...is this normal?? Can u still go in labor and not have any signs like mucus plug or contractions???
6387609 tn?1393274731 At 26 weeks u should go in immediately if u have signs of pure term labor so they can stop labor any constant contractions bleeding or water breaking don't pro long it baby still needs to stay in for a while!!
2075937 tn?1334884194 I know every person is different but what are some signs of labor?? I'm 37 weeks and having really bad contractions for the past hour or so and I've been feeling nausea to are these signs of labor or am I okay?
Avatar f tn Hi there :) I myself felt this way. If you're feeling off I'd go get checked. When i did, it turned out that my water had broken higher up inside me & i was having contractions I couldn't even feel! Trust your body, the longer you wait the more of a chance there may be for infection. Go in to be safe :) good luck hun!!
Avatar f tn Your mucus plug will rebuild itself since your still far from being due. If there's blood with the mucus plug call your doctor. I just lost some of my mucus plug with blood but my doctor said I'm in the clear for now which I'm so glad about since im only 32+4. Just keep an eye on everything and should you ever be concerned were here for you and your doctor is only a phone call away. I think your body know what it's going through therefore everything is happening alot sooner.
Avatar f tn Very well could be. I only had back labor with #2. Just felt like I had to poo, no pain with contractions. The nurses didn't believe I was in labor and were going to send me home. I had to force them to check me and I was at 5cm.
