I think that I may be having contractions but I'm not sure if it's for sure. Can someone give me a little insight to what they feel like? I'm hurting in my lower abdomen and my lower back. They are lasting about a minute long. Everything that I have heard about them is that they hurt really bad. I'm not hurting really really bad but still hurting somewhat.
@jeanie, thank you so much. The pain is increasing so we may end up going to labor and delivery anyways just to see what they say. I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to sleep though. I'm just nervous about what I should do
get as much sleep as you can hun. your starting labor! hope all goes well.
@jeanie, I'm laying down right now and they are still there. They keep getting worse though. I can get up and walk if I need to though. Also I'm not sure if this is a sign or not but I keep getting really hot and feeling nauseous and then it will go away for a little bit. I guess maybe I will just lay here and try to sleep.
they say that no matter what you do to get comfy and the pains are still there means that they are real. if you lay down and they stop then they weren't real ones.
Should I just stay home and wait it out? My nurse told me not to come in until the contractions were 5 minutes apart. I just don't want to be having them and not know for sure
I've been dilated for almost a week now and me and my bf just had sex like 30 minutes ago and at first it was just nausea and then the pains started. Crossing my fingers that it's time.
sounds like me! been contracting all day long hopefully yours goes somewhere!
It's pretty consistent as of right now but it's not unbearable like people say it is. My stomach is feeling harder than normal and I can feel my daughter way low.
it sounds like contractions. that's how mine started just annoying pains but then after about 2 days it became unbearable then I knew for sure I was in labor. does it happen consistently? or are the pains pretty spread out
Yes lol exactly like that. The pain is intensifying a little more now and I feel like I'm having a hot flash.
It sounds like you could be having contractions. Does it feel like you have to poop?
Some peoples don't hurt as bad as others! I'm only 22 weeks so idk yet but from what I hear it sounds like it? Hope someone can give you a straight answer, good luck :-)

Took this lastnight...and I'm not sure how I should feel. I've made a terrible mistake by having sex so soon after having a baby but it has made such a precious thing. I really don't want to have an abortion but my Fiancé does. I understand why he wants to go that route but I just would feel absolutely terrible about doing that. I cried all night...I really don't know what to do. PLEASE NO JUDGING IM ONLY POSTING THIS FOR SUPPORT.
ladies I'm not sure how to feel about this I'm really starting to think my bf is cheating on me I don't have any friends so I can't talk to anyone about it idk what to do at this point I'm really hurting now
I really really hate the fact that I got stretch marks on my boobs. And it kinda bothers me when mommas tell me they are something to be proud of because it's my baby tattoos or my proof I was growing a miracle...I'm pretty sure once my son is in this world with me HE will be the proof I grew a miracle inside me. I know they try to make me feel better about it but there really is nothing beautiful about stretch marks! No matter how you put it.
I gotta question could I be pregnant and have 2 1/2 day period because I think i got pregnant on Nov 26 and had implantation bleeding on Dec 11 because I'm usually on my period for at least 4 days but mostly 5 or 6 which my full period was Nov 11 for 5 days ?? but in dec only 2 1/2 days it's kinda confusing really im excited about my Dr visit feb19 to know for sure :)
Crying my eyes out
Ugh, I haven't really cried this pregnancy but I just found out I'm having a baby girl. I'm so happy about that but my family is asking what I want to name her and I said Zoey. I've always liked that name and they are like "What kinda name is that?" And saying it's ugly. It hurts my feelings so bad because I really like it. I can't stop crying!
If you feel you need to go in, do it. But I'm almost certain that your in labor hun. You'll do great! Keep posted on how it goes. or message me. I'm here!
