when belly gets very tight ,cramping, and pelvic pressure happen is this a real contraction? I don't want to sound unintelligent I'm just unsure. This has picked up in the last three days. Today has been more consistent thus far. 39w4d
I agree, I really with I could be of more help. Id just say call them atleast, tell them exactly whats going on. They will tell you to come in or not. I wish you the best of luck 😊
@little_1_on_the_way, thank you I assumed they were but never hurts to double check!
@annaandannalise, just wish there would be a defiant true tell sign
I'm almost 40weeks so I assume it's the real deal, my dr will tell me to go in and I have in the past and don't want to go back untill it is real because I dont want to be that patient. Working in the medical field I don't want to be labled as a fequent flyer
I do know that false contractions are irregular. I refer to this ссылка
all the time to remind myself of the fals signs, but youre also farther along then i am
@babyr061616, yes those are contractions. Try to focus and time them on how often they are happening and how far apart they are.
Hmm, I would keep that in mind.
Docs and nurses always tell me to call when they get to the point where you cant do anything. Im not sure if im helping much. Im only 34w, so Ive only experienced BH.
yes fetal movement is down very much so. I haven't timed them because I'm at work and I end up gettin busy @annaandannalise
I am also unsure, I know I've had my scares. My doctor told me that when real contractions happen fetal movement is down.
Are you aware on timing them? I know I wasnt up until a few weeks ago.

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

so yes ima go hard in the comments bec...
Has anyone else thought of this nonsense with her being weird, not having consistent information etc. as seeming a whole lot like the beginning of Glee with the fake pregnancy?!
GENDER POST! ??????
Alright mommas for everyone whose going to be finding out gender sometime in November or later..lets get a post going and keep each other updated. And for everyone who has already found out post below what you thought you were going to have and what you are actually having! ?
@babyr061616, I agree with you. I'm 28 weeks and I'm in preterm labor. these contractions are annoying. I ended up in the hospital over night because I was having 8-10 contractions an hour. my little man is ready to be out but I'm so not.
