whats a contraction fee like?

[Rosa20]

I cant remember what a contraction feels like!! But these cramps i have been having are pretty bad but not coming regular yet!! But theres so much pressure i am finding it very hard to pee!! I can pee but its hard almost like i have a really hard time getting all of it out!! What could this be a uti??

For me it felt like a lot of butt pressure.

A systolic of 113 is definately not pre-eclampsia.......That's actually still pretty low...even though I know it's higher than your norm.  Maybe the headache is from hormones fluctuating???  I'm guessing.

Anyway, I'm 40 weeks, 1 day and have been having the same types of pains.....Sometimes the tightening hurts, sometimes it feels like him moving and sometimes it's just annoying!!!  And the same as you...I feel like I have to pee ALL THE TIME and get like 2 trickles and have to work at it to get it out!  LOL......I guess we're both just in the middle of the waiting game now...more like the "I don't know what the he%% is going on" game!  LOL.  I actually went to the Dr.'s yesterday b/c I thought I was leaking fluid but NOPE......Only 1 cm and no fluid leaking!  UGH!  
Good luck girl....I'll be thinking of you and suffering with you too!  LOL

Oh my - - - this response posted to the wrong post, LOL!   I hope you get things going today and finally have that baby!!!

I don't know if it has developed into preclampsia, but I think I would go to the doctor for another check, just to be safe.  At the very least, give the office a call and ask them if you should have it checked, especially since you are having numbness in your hands and feet.

Sounds kinda like the begining stages of labor.... and sometimes unfortunately women can go through that for a week or so.... (which you have been) Sounds like they are finally starting to pick up with the intensity of Cramps/contractions (maybe not the frequency).... i would give the doc a call and tell him whats going on.... let him know you have TONS of pressure and your finding it hard to pee! Im sure he will tell ya to go in and get checked..... and by this time even if nothing has changes "down there" maybe the will just keep you bc of all the pain you have been in the past week! I would CAMP out lol tell them YOUR NOT LEAVING until the baby is out!

*****Tons of Labor Dust*****

yea i have been getting them all day and well for about a week or so now!! lol...But last night and today its different like i have gut rot or something all over and it kills when i have a tightening!! WHen i get them im thinking yea ill be getting the drugs type of thing!! Im a bit worried becuase i have been getting a headache now for about three days and numbness in my hands and feet..i havent had a high blood pressure though!! ?? whats up with that! Well my whole pregnancy it was like 80 to 90 over something....now its gone up to about 113 or a bit higher!! Does this mean it could be preclampsia??

From what I remember, It's been years now for me, I just remember at the begining when I'd have them, it was just kinda like my belly would tighten up of course it was uncomfortable but I could deal with it. Kinda like a crampy kinda hurting.

[LauraB78]
