Well - nurse told me to go to labor and delivery. So I'm on my way there. Wish me luck! (I hope this isn't a false call!)

I personally never thought contractions an Braxton hicks felt the same. I never got the tightening until I was way into labor. all I felt was period cramps every minute to 2 minutes @littleone23

walk do jumping Jacks get that body moving !! period cramps is what contractions feel like.. @littleone23

@littleone23 count the pauses between cramps. Trust they will get worse and more intense.

I know hun , drink plenty of water and walk

@maygi0221 yea it was weird in the beginning. Lol

@maygi0221, ugh! It's so confusing lol.

@js_kidsmom that's was what I felt when I went to labour 😑 period cramps

The cramping is beginning of your contractions. Thats what happened to me. Then I kept getting the runs. When I went to the hospital I was 4 cm. I was able to go back home and labor it out 12 hours after being sent home my water broke, got to the hospital 10 hours later had my baby girl via csection. Couldn't pass 4cm

@maygi0221, waiting for the nurse to call me back - she was busy

well that's what I felt to hun cramps like a period. Call ur doc . to make sure and walk .

@maygi0221, they feel just like cramps. Nothing like contractions really. I've had Braxton hicks - and it doesn't feel like that. Just kind of cramps when you're on your period and you cramp before you bleed a lot? That's what I can describe it.

If you feel hot take a shower. Your gonna feel a whole bunch of different feelings. If you have a thermometor check if you have a fever.

@js_kidsmom, anything about feeling hot? Kinda sweaty? Like running a temperature or something?

Walk around, bounce on a yoga ball if no yoga ball then the corner bed, stimulate your breast by massging it or by using a breast pump.

you're welcome hun call to make sure.

don't confuse cramps with contractions .. that's what ur having contractions the feel like cramps

Get walking girl. Do squats. Dance, run around, have sex. All things that'll help ys

@maygi0221, thank you ! I'll call..

Uh oh... not a good thing I'm alone then. lol you don't think it will fade away? I've had cramps before but these are like.. kind of a bit more but I'm not sure if they'll just go away

and call your doc let her/him know I was 7cm dilated when they check me . wish you the best..

that happend to me and at night whent to labor , walk around the house and drink plenty of water. pooping A lot and cramping its the baby pushing down. walk that will help .

@js_kidsmom, ... um.. any advice?

@js_kidsmom, the cramps started late last night. I felt them again (as I was typing this).. I get that (excuse tmi) is diarrhea is a sign but... I don't feel anything more than this stuff. I got dizzy yesterday out of random.. and I was sitting down.

That's early labor signs hun.
