Is it possible to not feel a contraction? My doctor told me to monitor my contractions but I'm unsure if it's one sometimes. There are times I really do feel them, which is a wierd feeling as if my stomach is really hard and a lot of pressure down there. Other times I don't feel anything until I put my hand on my stomach and it feels really hard. Are those considered contractions if I can't physically feel them? Also she told me to go into labor and delivery if I get more than 4 in an hour and I have gotten more than 4 in one hour but the hospital is a little over an hour away and I don't want to go and get sent back home. What is your opinion?
