Contractions
So Friday my doctor confirmed that I have been having real contractions. They don't hurt I just feel pressure and some tightening. Anyone of you ladies experience this?
That's how mine were for most of my labor as well. I did get an epidural about 11 hours into my 27 hour labor, but I had contractions long before I was induced. It just felt like a tightening up until the last hour before I could push when the epidural wasn't covering them anymore.
I get tightness, no pain usually when I stand up for long periods of time.. can that be contractions too?
Okay. Thank you!
Yes, not all contractions are painful. They only get painful when you're in active labor and its progressing.
