@twinpeanut, true :/

@vikkimylove hard to time something that is constant and unrelenting

There's apps that help you time em.

@vamommy89 lol good idea

@lillyb of course

Okay hunny keep us updated

@lillyb I probably will. Going to drink some water first jic. But i know im not dehydrated

I agree I'd just go to L&D and let them hook u up and check u out to be safe. Sending positive thoughts

Ill give it an hour and if it doesnt let up after drinking some water i will just suck it up and go @ilovemychildren

@ilovemychildren still kind of difficult because my abdomen is staying hard and it feels like a combination of gas/menstral cramps staying the same consistency of pain. My chest and back hurt too along with aching breasts and an excruciating headache

I would go to the ER they'll send you to Labor and Delivery and hook you up to a monitor that can record your contractions.

Well Google isn't giving me any help here. But here's a generic description of how labor progresses maybe it will help:

"Labor contractions change during each stage of labor.

First Stage

Labor begins with mild contractions during the first stage. These beginning contractions may feel like low back pain or mild menstrual pain. Some women describe the contractions in the first phase as gas pains or abdominal flu. As the first stage progresses, you may feel like a rubber band is tightening around your lower abdomen and lower back that is released at intervals. During the tightening phase of the contraction, your abdomen will get hard to the touch. Begin timing your contractions to see how far apart they are. At the beginning, your contractions may be very irregular. One contraction may be 15 minutes apart from the next, or as close as 5 minutes. As the first stage of labor progresses your contractions get closer and more regular. Most women are able to be at home during the first stage of labor.

Second Stage

When your contractions become more regular, you are in the second stage of labor and should be either at the hospital or on your way. In the hospital, you may be hooked up to a contraction monitor. This device times your contractions and shows a bar graph of the intensity of the contraction. You will see the bar graph peak during the most intense portion of each contraction. Your contractions are getting longer and closer together. The baby's head is moving down the birth canal as your cervix becomes more dilated. For the duration of the second stage, your contractions may stay pretty much the same intensity and length.

Stage Three

Stage three of labor is the beginning of the pushing phase. Your contractions are more predictable, but very intense. At the peak of each contraction you will feel an urge to push or bear down so the baby will continue down and out through the birth canal. Relax in between contractions and have someone help you get into position for the next push. A nurse or your partner may look at the contraction monitor and be able to tell you when to get ready to push when the peak of the contraction is near."

@ilovemychildren its just constant. Continues at the same level across my whole abdomen into my chest and mid back

Is there a difference in pain levels? Even if it doesn't go away completely does the pain ever seem to climax? Time the interval between climaxes if so

@vamommy89 what did you do

@vamommy89 Ughh I See

@vamommy89 like wtf am supposed to do with that?
