Contractions have stopped!?
Hi everyone. I am 39 weeks and 6 days!! Yesterday I was having contractions but not close enough to go to hospital. I managed to sleep through the night, and got up with my 2 older kids at 8 am for school. Felt fine other than baaad back and leg pains which I have had for sometime they just get worse daily! So I went about my day and around 8/9 PM they started up again for a bit. For about 2 or 3 hours . It is almost 3 am and I have back pain and no contractions again. I feel him moving around a bit so I know he is OK . I don't think it is Braxton Hicks either. Any ideas what may be going on or what to do? My youngest is almost 8 so it has been awhile since I have had a baby and have no idea what to expect! My oldest is almost 10 and he was 7 weeks early, my water broke and that was it until they induced me 4 days later. My daughter was almost 2 weeks late! And I was induced. I don't know what is going on!!Anyone have this problem??
Thanks ladies!!! Still no baby LOL today is my due date... still braxton hicks!:/ have such bad back and leg pain! I must brave it today as I have Christmas Shopping to do! And we just got a fair bit of snow! I hope he holds out until the evening... after saying hundreds of times I want him out! I hope u get some progress bigmamakb!! I keep telling my husband that these contractions are painful but Iknow the"best" is yet to come lol
It's Braxton hicks I've been getting the same pain for weeks. If they keep going away there Braxton hicks. Real contractions stay and get stronger and closer together.
Your body is just getting ready
Sounds like your body prepping for labor... maybe walk a lot of have sex and see if that jump starts it
Lol actually im going threw this with u. Today since 3pm ive had steady painful contractions. But now baby girl seems very calm n im having the back pain but not belly bad contractions. I think its the calm b4 the storm hits.... u n i will prolly go n labor tomorrow lol
