This is going to sound weird and I know it but please hear me out. I have four boys I had them all naturally within hours of heading to the hospital. I am now 21 weeks pregnant with boy number five and I don't know what contractions are! I have had full blown-I'm-in-labor contractions but nothing before that. What do Braxton hicks contractions feel like? I have never had period cramps so explaining it like that doesn't help. I'm dead serious will someone please try to explain it.
My oldest son I was induced when I had him. I was in what they call labor for 36 hours but the whole process was 58 hours. When I finally had contractions there were three and my son was born. With my second son I was cleaning my house, went to pee, and felt him crowning. I never had contractions. With my third son I was throwing up. I thought I had food poisoning. I went to the hospital to find out I was dilated to ten and 100% effaced. He was born two hours after the vomiting started but 18 minutes after I went to the hospital. Maybe the vomiting was any contractions - I don't know. My last son I started bleeding pretty heavily. I went to the hospital and they said my water broke. I didn't think it had but they are the experts. I laid in bed for 11 hours before my OB came to check on me. When he checked me he broke my water, I had five contractions and ta-da my baby was here. I know the eight contractions I had were contractions. My whole body got tight. I instantly went into sit up mode.
With this baby I have an IUD in place so the risk of preterm labor is super high. I'm supposed to monitor contractions so I can get checked anytime I have four in an hour. It's hard to monitor something I don't quite understand.

I didn't really feel them until this pregnancy either but now I have them all the time. Your whole stomach gets tight and it kind of takes your breath away. Mine don't hurt its just a little uncomfortable. Kind of like the baby is pushing on your entire uterus all at one time. Hope that helps.
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...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
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.
That kind of helps. Lol. My placenta is on my right side so the baby is only on the left. Would contractions still be the whole thing?
