okay.. I'm a ftm. When you other mommies went into labor, did the contractions start off bearable ,…

mine started off bearable and generally increased in pain and closeness

Thank you. @mrshamilton830 .. Idk if they're Braxton hicks or what. But they're bearable right now , but they're not that close together. I'm 37 weeks and my dr still hasn't checked to see if I was dilated or anything.

I went straight into full blown labor and my contractions were fine until they got down to a minute apart and that's when they became painful.

@caitlinnalexis, my first and 3rd babies came on their own at exactly 37 weeks, if they are real contractions they will become regular and get closer together and stronger

I'm just kind of curious because I'm 37 weeks, and my doctor still hasn't checked to see if I've started dilating or anything and I know that it can happen at any moment now. But thank you! @bentley_mommy

mine started off fine, then they hurt but I was good, after that I told the nurse to hurry the f*** up with my epidural lol. It went from like a 6 to a 10 really quick for me.

Lol I want to try to go natural really bad, but I really don't know how my pain tolerance is going to be. I haven't been in any serious pain before so I don't know how I'll manage @anessafraga

You can ask the doctor to check you girl. :) they won't tell you no and once you go into labor you'll know. It's different for every woman. My advice to you just remember to breath :) contractions hurt I won't lie to you they hurt a lot. Your welcome tho. @caitlinnalexis

I wanted to do natural to but my pain tolerance didn't let me lol. Go for it though! ! Girls who go all natural in my opinion are very strong, there's no way I could.
