Before Labor
How did you mamas feel right before labor? I've been having around two contractions an hour but my water is still intact, I am not dialated, and he hasn't dropped.I had my dialation checked two nights ago so that might've changed. But my discharge is absolutely crazy with how heavy it is, I feel like my whole body aches, my back is absolutely killing me with radiating pain that goes to my hips, I'm having painful menstrual like cramps, and I feel like I pulled a muscle in my vagina every time I walk. I don't know. I just feel like labor Will be soon but maybe that is wishful thinking? I'm 35 weeks tomorrow and so miserable. I'm not doing anything to induce but wonder if it's happening on it's own.
I would honestly keep timing them but try to relax for a couple days or so don't do an entire lot and ware your body out soon you'll need all the energy yu got. I would honestly call or see your dr if yu cant take it anymore. My sister was 2 cm dialated (FOREVER) and was having contractions literally for a week (she kept going to the dr but they sent her home cause her water never broke and she wasn dialated enough) when she finally couldn't take it no more she went to the hospital and was there for like 10_11 hours walking the halls cause they wouldn't keep her till her water broke or she dialated enough. They decided to keep her at 4 cm but had to break her water for her cause the baby was coming and she wasn dialated enough. Just keep an eye out
When I went into labor it came on full force and I deff knew I was going to be having a baby 35 weeks is kind of early
I just always hear how women enter a funk towards the last two weeks and I am definitely in a funk. Sick and irritable.
I had my baby September 29 I started getting small pain in my lower back and lower stomach 2 days before but it was bearable at 12:00 am on September 29 I couldn't stand the pain anymore I couldn't sleep and I was walking around for almost 3 hours till I decided to go to the hospital there I found out I was 4cm dialated if it's a pain you can seem to take don't hesitate and goto the hospital walk a lot tho thts what helped me good luck!
It's normal, your fine... I've been feelig like this for 6 weeks im now 39 weeks pregnant, jus ly breathe, the vagina pain really is crappy but theirs nothing you can really do its your baby getting ready... It'll be soon
If you can't tell when you're having one don't worry. I know it ***** to have irregular contractions but unless they are closer together and more painful then it isn't far along enough for them to be able to do anything.
They told me don't bother calling unless I have more then four in an hour but I can't always tell when I am having one. I'm more so asking how other mom's felt before labor just so I can see if I'm on that track or just normal pregnancy pains
I haven't been there yet But I would think a warm shower would help a lil. Keep timing your contractions and if they get closer call your l&d or on call nurse and let them know what's going on. They'd be able to help you better.
