Hey can anyone give me an idea of what a contraction feels like?
I'm 40 weeks and 5 day. My doctor said to go to the hospital when I feel any contractions since I'm 4 cm dilated. But I haven't gone because I don't think I've felt any. It kinda hurts a little when I feel my little one move or when I walk sometimes but that's about it.😥
Alright do any of you know if it's possible to go into labor without feeling contractions????
@chelsea0820, lol that's what I was told. I know it feels like you have to poop when they're really low and it's almost time to push.
@kelseys, really? bc I feel that sometimes. I didn't know it was a contraction I just thought I was a little crampy
Okay I think I've felt some but they're not that intense lol @kelseys &@cjw1095
sometimes they feel like bad period cramps... some feel like your stomach righting
I'm still trying to get a feel for this app but are there any STAHM here?
When I lay down my contractions are 10 minutes apart but when I'm up and moving they come faster. I'm not understanding.
I'm convinced I'm going to go into labour at any minute.....I'm having contraction but they're stopping and starting. Yesterday i was having contractions all morning then by the time I got to triage to be monitored they stopped. Now this morning I was sat having breakfast with my son and they started again. But more intense and longer lasting this time. My question is do I phone triage now or do I just wait to see what happens. I feel like I'm wasting their time always ringing etc
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
When did everyone start feeling their baby move? I know my baby is still so little but I can't wait to feel my little move ❤️
yes it's possible. with both of my sons I didn't feel or start to have any contractions till I was 7cm.
