Ya I've seen a lot on this app. Alot of different situations. Some feel their contractions strong and some don't. And some are dialated for weeks and some dialate all the way from a 1 to 10 within a day . And some ladies waters break and some have it done by the doctor. I just don't know what to expect for me lol. My mom keeps telling me that contractions just feel like tightness and that's what I'll feel. She never described them with pain, so I told her that maybe she was just lucky and her contractions werent painful, because A LOT of women on here have described them as painful and that's what I need to prepare myself for
Yes I went quick with my first dilated one to five in about a hour then six to 10 in about a hour. Some women are different then others like for her my water didn't break my Dr had to break it which was at a seven then the pain got severe
Seven ? Like 7 cm dialated ?
They can start out both my first baby I felt just like a cramp like from a period and when I hit seven is when mine became intense
Good luck! Keep us updated :)
That's was suppose to say rhythm to your discomfort sorry auto correct lol
Thank you ! Congrats to you too !
You will notice a rather to your discomfort that's how I could tell if you can tell their coming with regularity chances are your moment hae come. Congrats on team blue and best wishes
Everyone is different but with both my boys they ruined my night. Labor started with both of them in the middle of the night when I was relaxed and not thinking about it. Relax and you will know a real contraction when it happens. Enjoy the quiet nights until then. It's a wonderful experience! Congrats!
Thank you ! I'm literally so excited. I can't wait to finally go into labor. I know everyone's different and these are the stories I love to hear.! Thank u ladies ! Congrats on your babies !
Also, don't wait for your water to break. With my second I waited around until I couldn't take it anymore. I went to the hospital and was 8cm dilated and my water didn't break until I started to push. Everybody is different but when you feel it you will know it's the real deal. Especially being 39 weeks and 3-4cm and lost your plug. He will be here soon so you will be more aware of the pain.
I had regular contractions every 3-5 minutes for a week! They didn't hurt just stomach tensed all the up. My water finally broke and they never got painful. I had to be given pitocin to dialate because my water was broken for to long and I wasnt progressing. They got super painful with pitocin! The worst pain in my life, I made it with no pain meds like I had wanted to do tho. Good luck! Hopefully you will meet your baby soon
Thank you. I know it is different for everyone, thats why I like to hear a variety of ladie's experiences. So thank you.
Yes you will know it is a contraction. They don't always start off painful but they become very painful and may take your breathe away. It's hard to explain. You will just know when it's time. It is a pain you have never felt before.
