Sat in the hospital all night, was apparently having contractions all day yesterday. Went from being completely closed to 4cm dialated. They let me go home because I have a doctor's appointment today anyway. I didn't know that stomach cramps could be contractions! Well this is my first baby so I didn't know what to expect, lol
I do love the way people say you will know when your in labour and having contractions well I will be honest I didn't know and my pains weren't that severe till I was fully dilated I'm sure everyone has different pain levels
I know I've posted this before but when your water was leaking did it stay leaking or just with movements or what? Did you get contractions shortly after or no? I rolled out of bed and felt warmth leak out but Idk if it was possibly urine or what...never had it happen. It didn't smell like anything really...I know I should either call l&d or go in but I just want some experiences please. I want to wait a bit just in case it's nothing.
Netflix I know all you ladies have some very good shows/movies you recommend.
I don't know whats going on with little Ryder tonight but I am beyond miserable. Earlier today I was standing by the door looking outside when I got a sharp pain in my lower back (left side) and what felt like I was leaking (maybe the size of a quarter) but it was not urine. Then came a lot of pressure round my pelvic area and contractions that were close then far apart, then they just stopped but i still had a little pressure. Ryder was moving around a good bit and i had this jittery feeling. And about an hour ago I was trying to crochet and then the contractions started again and still was everywhere in terms of how far apart. Any idea ladies? I am calling my obgyn in the morning to let her know what was going on just in case she wants me to come in earlier that Tuesday. I live around an hour from the hospital so I absolutely didn't want to make a trip if I didn't have to and since the contractions was happening on and off at odd times I wanted to wait. I just didn't know what to do exactly because i didnt have pains like this or Braxton-Hicks(not saying for sure what these contractions are) contractions with my other pregnancies so this was kinda new for me. Advice and thoughts are welcome!

That's nuts. See my water didn't break, so they were like your fine, come back if anything gets worse.

@skyeelizabethgettle, you think they would r at least kept you for observation but a hospital I went to sent me home in active labor. It was malpractice and my dr was furious. I drove another hour to a better hospital and I was in labor. Water broke before I even went to the 1st hospital. 😒

@morganmommy79 yeah I kinda was too, but I stopped having the cramping like pains, and I have to go back for my appointment in a few hours anyway. But I was wondering if its because I'm only 35 weeks, they sent me home...

Really? Here they keep you if you're dilated 3 cm or more. Anything can happen from that point. It can go really fast. Surprised they sent you home.

@tristynnashllynn yeah, I thought it was stomach cramps from me being so constipated all the time.
