Contractions
Anyone else had contractions? I just had three contractions. I'm 19 weeks 7 days. They were 8-10 minutes apart. This is my second, I don't remember them with my first. Is it Braxton Hicks?
i have them like once or twice a day, usually if my bladder is too full or after walking a long distance, no bleeding or spotting though.
I got them and actually had spotting. Not really painful just tight and pressure. My OB said if more than 4 an hour call her. Or if bleeding is more than spotting. Drink the water and get off your feet! That's what I do and it works.
Oh and lay on your left. But drink tons and tons of water. Like tons. Like at least 24 oz when you get them and they are painful just chug it and pee. That should help.
When you get them drink a ton of water and if your up, rest, if you're already resting, get up and walk around. If they go away they are bh. If the don't go away call your ob right away. Also make sure you pee. If you have a full bladder, that can cause contractions too.
I had them the other day, pretty painful ones at that, nothing since though. Pretty sure it was because I was pretty badly dehydrated though. Once I was able to keep some liquids down, they went away.
I would call your doctor if they are that painful this early.
Mine were really painful. Like getting sweaty and having to really breathe to get through it. I don't remember it like that with my daughter.
I've been experiencing the painless contractions for a few weeks now. If they grow in intensity, I try to get off work and drink a ton of water and lay down on my side.
Contraction questions I had a membrane sweep today. Before the sweep I was 3-4 dilated & 75% effaced.
Short Luteal Phase? I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
This is NOT happening !!!!!!! I swear I had given up! But I'm 5 days late and I just got my BFP ???
Sorry I havent posted an update on whats happened. I finally.had my baby boy, Noah Jesus Zamora 😍 So I went in Friday night due to small contractions, once I made it to the hospital they had become regular & I was almost 2 cm dilated. They kept me for 2 hours before sending me home because my contractions werent causing any dilation. So my bf & I spent the night at my mothers just incase something happened. I tried to fall asleep around 1 something in the a.m. after timing contractions that were 2-3 mins apart. I sleep on & off until 3 a.m. and my contractions had gotten worse. I went to use the bathroom and I had seen that I completely lost my mucous plug/had my show! So I woke my mom up & she sat with me for a while. I walked around the house for a bit and before I knew it the contractions had progressed so I called ny doctor & he told me to head to the hospital. When I get there they start to monitor baby Noah & my contractions and when I got checked I made progress. So they hooked me up to an IV because they thought maybe I was dehydrated & they gave me some morphine around 6 a.m. so I could sleep. I was in so much pain from the contractions and needles I cried & my bf started to cry because he hated to see me in such pain. I kept falling in out of sleep after the morphine shot. Definitely couldnt sleep through the contractions. They brought me breakfast around 8 o'clock, which made my mom and bf think they were gonna send me home again. Later on around 2 my doctor came in to check my cervix & surprisingly I was 3 cm dilated (the amount you have to be for my hospital to admit you) so it hit me that I wasn't leaving without my baby boy. They told me they weren't gonna check again for another 2 hours to give me some time to progress to 4 cm & get the epidural. So within those 2 hours it had gotten BAD I was in the worst pain ever. and around 4 the nurse came in to check my cervix, come to find out I was FULLY DILATED! I freaked because I did not want to feel all of the pain of giving birth. I told my nurse I wanted try the epidural even though there was a huge chance it would have no effect. Getting the epiduarl was a pan becaue I was having full blown contractions while having to stay still complety it was horrible. So after that I waited for it to kick in a bit, it definitely helped the only thing I could feel was the urge to poop. It took me almost an hour to push and it was seriously the worst pain ever because I could feel the burning and everything but finally out came Noah 😍 weighing 7 pounds 13 ounces & 18 inches long looking just like his daddy. Im so in love and my life is now complete. We couldn't be happier to have finally met our baby! Longest labor story ever lol I babble!
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!
