had a question: does having a contraction feel like a really bad menstral cramp? I've been getting these intense pressure abdominal cramps for the last day they will last 1-3 minutes and feel like a cramp but it goes away and I won't get another one till later in the day. i have a high tolerance for pain so to me it just feels like a really intense pressure that stops me in my tracks for a few
sometimes your water doesn't break on its own my sister in law had contractions mins apart for 2 days and just was not dilating they had to break her water cause even with them being so close and the pitocin she wouldn't dilate it wasn't until they popped her water that she finally dilated
mine feel the same way like they got fractured and never put back in. my hubby is going nuts he wants me to text him every hour that way he knows I'm fine. I mean they hurt don't get me wrong but with my tolerance to pain it just feels like another one of my menstrual cramps gone rouge. and I understand I wouldn't wanna get sent home either I'd just deal with it till you know for sure they wouldn't send ya home Lol and your welcome @mommytomaximus
It feels like my hips are fractured or popped outta place 😭😭 my mom wants me to go get checked because of the back pains but I don't want too cause i already got sent home twice.. 😞😒 and thank you love ❤️
I haven't had my bloody show yet either just the frontal abdominal pains. I heard back contractions are harder than regular contractions. I don't know whether to go in or not either not much they can do when your water hasn't broke right. my pelvis feels so tender when I walk feels like no matter what I do it hurts Lol I know my little girl is head down but I don't know if I'm dialated or not. might Start walking too hopefully for you it helps I wish you the best of luck too. hope everything goes smoothly. @mommytomaximus
Hmm, well momma, your baby just wants to meet you ASAP lol and I haven't had a bloody show yet.. Just the pains. And all the pain I really get is all in my back, so I'm having back labor pains.. That's what is confusing me with these contractions. 😖 so idk when I should go in. All I know is that I am 1 cm dilated got checked on Sunday and Monday. So hopefully all the walking and stuff I been doing since made me go up but I wish you the best of luck mommy!!!! 🙏🏼☺️
good to know they are contractions my little one is dating at 37 weeks but I'm dating 35 weeks. It just felt funny like my stomach was experiencing this huge cramp that wouldn't go away no matter what I did. I later down, walked around, sat still and it wouldn't go away. my water hasn't broke yet but I've been getting this weird yellowish gel discharge I thought nothing of it cause I wasn't bleeding ya know @mommytomaximus
I called my doctor cause I was having the same thing and she said they are contractions. And to time them. So I did. Lately my stomach has been doing it, but I don't wanna go to L&D just yet. I wanna wait till my water breaks or something.
yeah gets hard as a rock and stays that way for a few minutes then goes back to normal just to do it again 2 hrs later @mommytomaximus
Does your whole stomach get hard as a rock as it happens?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
