oh ok, they probably wanted you to be closer to term since they channeled it to 39 weeks. back when I had my son 2010 full term was 37 weeks. so back then if you were having contractions every 2-3 minutes and went in and was at 3cm they would keep you especially if the contractions stayed at 2-3 minutes apart, they would just do stuff to get you to dilate. things are different now @princesssskxo

37 weeks . i was at 5cm . im sure im probbbably about 6 by now @0816mommy

how far were you? I forgot to mention I was already 41 weeks lol @princesssskxo

you would think . i got sent home because i wasnt dialating fast enough for them . bc i only went bearly half a cm in an hour . @0816mommy

and that's true everyone is different. I was giving her my experience with my first pregnancy. but if you are contracting every 2-3 minutes consistently for an hour, then more than likely you are in active labor. @princesssskxo

like my sister, we were getting over cream, she stood up and was leaking. so we went home so she could change and about 30min after her water broke is when the contractions started. and you'll know your in labor when you have contractions with out your water breaking and contractions are 2-4 minutes apart lasting at least one minute. I didn't get my water broken by doctors until hours after I was in labor to help me dilate more. now my friend been contracting for 3 weeks now and because it was too early they tried to stop them, but they came back but are very irregular. sometimes ever 5 minutes and sometimes every 10 minutes but nothing is progressing and they not going to do anything as long as she not dilating until 38/39 weeks.

i dont have drama with anyone . i post about my pregnancy . or if im hungry . she asked a question . i said your response wasnt true for everyone . and i explained why . because if that happens to her , she knows its okay . and i dont wish that on anyone . the possibilities with labor are endless for everyone . i clearly didnt respond to you because im not arguing with someone states away over basically someone elses vagina . if i was flat out saying you were wrong , i would have tagged you in the comment . nothing you said was wrong , just not true for everyone . 👋🏻 @0816mommy

I wanted to know what you felt wasn't true with what I said so that I could correct it, damn. I'm not one of those bitches that be on here starting drama, we all grown. but it looks to me like you encounter stuff like that a lot on here. not me hun. @princesssskxo

I asked a simple question, no need for hostility, so don't get hostile with me over something that isn't that serious. @princesssskxo

i said it wasnt true for everyone . being me and my own personal experience which im assuming is what she wanted ? dont start shit over something not even that serious @0816mommy .

something I said wasn't true? @princesssskxo

^ that is also not true for everyone . ive been 5 cm for a week . i feel the contractions , my waterbag is bulging . they wont regulate because my water isnt breaking . ive been in prodromal ( spelling ? ) labor for 2 weeks . all the feelings of being in labor , just not in labor if that makes sense . its crazy how different everyone is .

im trying to figure out the same thing...

Sound like two different circumstances. everybody water doesn't break. I knew I was in labor because of the unbearable contractions. if they didn't feel contractions before they water broke then they weren't in labor until their water broke.
