@erikanbethune2, I was told by my OB that if for whatever reason my stress test aren’t good I’ll be pulled from work also and be put on bed rest so I understand. Hopefully it flies by if you ever need to talk message me! Don’t get depressed tho you have babies cooking that will make it all up for you.
@erikanbethune2, that makes sense. I’m lucky that we haven’t had to deal with that. If you ever do think you may be in labor, make sure you get to the hospital quickly, so babies can get the quickest and best care.
@erikanbethune2, oh okay that makes sense well hopefully you can keep them in until at least 36 weeks! But tbh I haven’t felt any Braxton Hicks and if I’ve had them I haven’t been able to tell so can’t be any help there.
@itslinny, has your dr told you anything? I’m measuring 3 weeks ahead and my OB said the only reason why I would deliver early is if I’m induced but even then it’ll be only a week early. Measuring ahead doesn’t mean lungs and brain are done developing. Hopefully your baby stays and cooks I know my son is already head down so we’re just hoping and praying he stays in there until 39 weeks.
@erikanbethune2, well my doctor keeps saying I'm going to have a big baby and I'm measuring two weeks ahead so I kind of feel like I won't make it to my due date but you never know! With my first I went past my due date
Sorry, I just read this is your first pregnancy. Contractions, your belly will feel really tight for 30 seconds-1 minute. If they aren’t painful, just tightness, it’s most likely Braxton Hicks, which are just your body’s way of prepping you for the real thing. If they are painful, time them. If you have more than 6 in an hour, go in. Don’t take any chances with multiples, especially this early.
@erikanbethune2, I think you are okay then...you will know when you're in labor. If your water didn't break and you're not having contractions I would not worry
You will know what contractions feel like when you are having them they are painful..to me they feel like horrible horrible cramps. Are you leaking fluids? Did your water break or anything like that? What are your symptoms?
