Anyone been told they had contractions but didn't feel them?

I'm 31 weeks tomorrow & been having really bad pelvic pain for three weeks and my friend that's due two days before me told me I should go in for a piece of mind to get checked out since she did when she was having abdominal pain and found out she had a bacterial infection. I got the swab for infection, came back negative and so did UTI. And she also checked to see if I was dilating (WHICH HURT! Lol) and I'm not dilating. But according to the monitor I was having contractions but I didn't feel them.. So she let me go home & wasn't worried since I was complaining about pelvic pain and not contraction pain. Anyone heard that they were having contractions and didn't feel them? just kinda worried me when she said that. Also I feel so crampy now after she checked me

Yes, but I was 38 weeks doing a non fetal stress test. So the hospital admitted me and said I couldn't go home. I was 14 yrs old, so they told me my age and the flexibility of my bones because of my age was the reason I didn't feel the contractions till I was 6 cm.

I Was Told I Had Contractions And I Was Also Dilated To 1 At 30 Weeks . My Job Is A Big Building So I Do Alot Of Walking .. The Pains I Was Feeling Made Them Keep Me Over Night Cause They Thought I Was Going To Have To start Pushing :( But They Actually Found Out That I Had A Yeast Infection ! I Know Yuck Right?! I Had No Itching Or Burning Si i Never Even Noticed.  I Never Had This Problem Before I Got Pregnant So It Freaked Me Out. The Doctor Said I Take Too Many Bubble Baths And I Use Too Much Scented Products Such As The Bubbles , Scented Tissue Etc. She Also Said That Im Washing Away All The Good Germs I Need For Delivery . So You Might Want To See If Its a Yeast infection

Does anyone know why they ask if you've had intercourse within 24 hours before they check you?! I never have sex but last night TMI I master bated lol but I was WAY too embarrassed to tell the nurse that and my friend was in the room with me. It worries me after like maybe I should have told her!
