so I'm 38 weeks and I'm having contractions on and off and about 15 min apart I'm dilated about 3 cm and baby is head down and my cervix is thinned but no mucus plug ...is this normal and how can I help my contractions stay and be more frequent
Yes normal , && go walk until once they start to be like 5-8 minutes apart they hospital will definitely keep you,
it may b Time to go to the hospital they will get stronger
Having some pretty intense constant lower back pain and maybe super light contractions. But can't tell because the back pain is way over powering contractions so I'm walking around my room to see if they get worse.
I'm in labor I'm at the hospital ladies about to get pitocin my water broke but contractions not close enough
I'm contracting like a hell but they don't hurt. I'm gonna sit till about 9 and see what happens
When I lay down my contractions are 10 minutes apart but when I'm up and moving they come faster. I'm not understanding.
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
Labor at home as much as you can, and when their about 5 min apart then go, you don't have to loose your plug to be in active labor!
