I'm not a FTM but I'm going to b asking a lot of questions about contractions cuz when i had them with my last babies I…

haha yeah to me the labor isn't so bad it's after words my lady parts hurts so bad especially using the bathroom that's the worst! @missnaty

Lol im so ready to pop but not looking forward to the labor

yeah when I actually felt them they were horrible! @missnaty

Lol yeah it's tricky each labor is different I know when it's go time because I'm in tears when I feel those bad boys it's the worst feeling ever lol

Thank you so much @missnaty cuz with my son I was a day late walking my dog and my water broke but I didn't dilate past 2 and they gave me pitocin with my second I went in for my 39 week check up and my doc checked me and said I was 5cm and needed to go to hospital right then (obviously I was contracting and had no idea) was there for an hr dilated to a 6 but my water wasn't breaking so they broke it then I had to walk to start feeling contractions had her 2 hrs later with this baby I feel contractions I think 🤔

I'll share my labor stories , my first labor the contractions started at 10 minutes apart and took about 5 hours till they were 5 minutes apart at that point i couldn't take it anymore I went in at I was 6cm, my second labor I started at 2 minutes apart and rushed to the er and was pushing in the triage room my labor was 3 hrs, my third was tricky I was having bad contractions but wasn't dilating so they striped my membrane and went in labor within the 24 hrs and started off at 10 minutes apart went in and was 5cm, with my last one the labor started off I would get them every 15 minutes to 5 minutes go back up to 10 and it lasted like that for 6 hrs but when I finally went in I was 8cm lol so I got lucky that I went when I did... My advice to you is when you feel the pain and it starts to worry you go in if that's your gut feeling every labor is different it's never the same outcome

Well thank you so much ☺️ @foreveryoung247

Yea of course but spontaneous contractions happen it doesn't mean labor is near or that your in labor but also there is exceptions for everything !

Can the pain level feel the same and just be throughout the day and would they only be a few seconds long? So far I think I've had 3 contractions tonight once when my SO and I had sex and then twice bouncing on birthing ball used the contraction calculator and they said they were about 44-47 seconds long and in an hour @foreveryoung247

@positivemommy,

See now this is a catch 22 bc some women don't feel a lot of pain at first with there contractions but once you see a consistency in your contractions then most likely they are legit real contractions. Usually once you get past 4 or 5cm most women will most definitely feel it. BH are irregular and not at all consistent !
