So my sister is almost 37 weeks with baby number two with her first she didn't feel any of her contractions and only went to the hospital because her water broke and she is 3.5 centimeters dialated an 70 percent effaced and this morning she has had bad period cramps do period cramps get mistaken for contractions or does that mean labor?
I had the contracion timer too. it was very helpful. @tlc82995 tell her to go to l&d. I went a handful of times before i found out I was in labor. never hurts to go and get checked. I had mild contractions for a week before my water broke at 38+5 weeks. so you never know.
She says hers are constant cramps though they never end or get better it's the same pain@vadasmommy2015 @mdomke22
I had an app on my phone called contraction counter I think is what it was called @tlc82995 @lovelyadre @anna.atterberry it was very easy cuz towards the end I would have never been able to really track them myself. I was in just so much pain. you press the button when one starts and when is over press the bottom again. it times how long the contraction is and how long inbetween as well!
ex of how I did it, one start at 645, next would start at 648. etc. 3 mins apart.
when one cramp is over, start timing until you feel the next one. and try timing how long they last @tlc82995 @lovelyadre @anna.atterberry
Following! Please tag me when the answer is written lol.
Yeah how do you time them? I'm getting horrible period cramps and it's confusing how to time them. @mdomke22
My contractions all thru labor. early and active labor felt like period cramps
I just absolutely love some women on here! Some woman wants to write on another women's post telling her she shouldn't be having sex at all in the beginning of pregnancy. I didn't know she was her doctor. Then she wants to tell me that the first trimester is only 1-9 weeks pregnant. And she lost her baby at 4 weeks pregnant due to sex. Like sweetie that's your period starting!

Her helmet she got so she can be safe (as she told me) when she rides her bike and scooter lol
This may be stupid but....how long do contractions last for? I keep having period cramps and lower back pain but it lasts like 3 minutes each time.
Why do everybody say labor contractions feel like period cramps. ??? Yall must have got lucky af , cause period cramps my ass. I would love to have had period cramps when I was in labor. them contractions feel like somebody twisting the inside of my stomach that shit is almost unbareable. ! 😩👎
Thank you so much!!!! 😙 @vadasmommy2015 @mdomke22
