Ladies who already are mommies and who's water didn't break. How did you know you were going into labor?
For the last few days I've had period like cramps with intense sprits of pain. They come and go. I assume those are contractions. I
Also have a lot of pressure down there. Yesterday evening I walked close to a mile and a half and felt quit bit of cramps and tightness. Throughout the night last night I got up maybe
4 times to go to the bathroom but probably woke up 10 times throughout the night. Today I just feel weird. I can't begin to explain how I feel. I know I have cramps but other than that I just feel weird.
@nevaehmommi, okay well I was 2-3 cm dilated two weeks ago. I go in Wednesday to get my membranes stripped.
Yes that's where you will get the pain in your pelvis....so time it and go in and they will keep you there cause I live 45mins away from the hospital so they had to keep me there @babysperano
@nevaehmommi, thank you for all the advice. I'm an hour away from the hospital so I worry if I will make it. When that time comes. Where is the contraction pain normally? My pain is in my pelvis area.
Yea it's a strong pain and you will feel the baby pushing and just one spot is hard it will make you want to scream and cry...the only way to find out if it's contractions is by timing the pain how far apart they are and how long they last Braxton hicks are more sporadic while the contractions are a lot more frequent
@nevaehmommi, was it very strong pain like you want to scream or no. I don't know the difference between Braxton hicks and contractions sadly. But I do know I woke up last night bc of the pain.
lol when them pains really hit n they are a few mins apart trust me you will know n the urge to use the potty is really bad
@lovemiithree, idk if I will ever know bc sometimes I think I'm having contractions then other times I think it's Braxton hicks. I'm just not sure. As of almost two weeks ago I was dilated between 2-3.
Were they strong contractions. Like you could tell they were contractions. I'm not sure if I know the difference between Braxton hicks and contractions @cubanese
Okay good luck Hun @babysperano
