Contractions

So this is my 2nd pregnancy im 32+3 ! And I have no idea what contractions or even braxton hicks feel like! With my first he was breach so he had no desire in coming out I had a scheduled csection and didn't get to experience any of the going into labor symptoms! With this being my second I still dont know lol So what exactly do contractions feel like? Shes already in position but im having another scheduled csection just because Ive had one before! But I have a feeling shes gonna try and.come before :)!

Exactly but she made a big deal about it... And said if I wanted to go natural id have to go to a hospital in the medical center (Houston) ! And I didn't want to go their because its a huge hassle so im basically settling for a csection!

That *****! After 6 years you should be healed enough to at least attempt it. I would've fought for it.

Yess I did but my dr made a big deal about it, and said the safest way to go was a repeat csection! She started naming all kinds of things of why she couldn't let me go natural... Its been 6 years since my last one and wanted to try natural but my Dr was not for it :/

Did you ever think of trying to go for a v back? Some doctors will let you have a vaginal birth after 1 csection? As far as contractions from what i know it doesnt always feel the same to everyone for me my stomach gets really hard and i feel tons of pressure but fir a friend of mine she said it felt like lightning in her stomach... i hope that kind of helps

Im a ftm but i been having braxton hicks for awhile. it feels like someone put a giant rubber band around my belly and is squeezing but it dont hurt. some of them can be painful but most arent. my stomach just tenses up and gets rock hard but it only last for a couple seconds.
