Uh OH! *Update!* Im in early stages of labor!!

edited September 2011 in Labor
IDK what that just was, but it hurt like hell, I sat down to eat my pasta goodies, and I just got this extremely sharp pain in my baby bump... it was kinda like when I use to get stomach aches before my uterus consumed the majority of my torso. It lasted about 45 seconds then stopped.... Im wondering if that was an ACTUAL serious contraction... and if there are going to be more! that was a little over 15 minutes ago, and I haven't had another one yet, but sitting on my birthing ball I don't really notice pain as much, so Im thinking about getting up and walking around, just to see if they continue. Im curious to know whats going to happen. Probably nothing but you never know!

  • Mayb round ligaments pain? That's what it made me think of Whn u said Sharp pain
  • @breewashington08 its possible! I haven't had another noticable pain since yet. I've been getting a lot of period like cramps since tho, idk what round ligament pain feels like honestly cuz my ob tells me that every pain I have is something different and its hard to keep track of what is what anymore. but that was the first time I felt anything like that one!
  • ooo I lied, I just had another one as soon as I held still... 12:32pm. lasted almost a minute and stopped! not as strong tho.

  • When are you due ????
  • @ashleyfew @5lilangels @breewashington08 @novmthumper11 @stephforever89

    They stopped completely after that except the period cramping has been going on all day. I have had maybe 2 more really strong painful belly achey things since then a little less than an hour ago, and a butt load of cirvical pain and vaginal pressure. My heart rate at my drs apt yesterday was 130... which is ridiculously high. And I have felt my heart beating out of my chest most of the day, and its literally skipping beats, so as soon as john gets home Imma head in to I think the er or l&d to get checked out for anything possibly wrong. Cuz that is very unusual for me to ever feel my heart beating like that other than after I go for a run or do an extensive work out. I have been laying down most of the day as well trying to take it easy. I will be 36 weeks tomorrow so Im due october 8th.
  • Maybe some anxiety? I kno I'm startn to get a lot of anxiety thinkn bout the upcoming delievry an hospital stay an wher my oldest 2 wil b while I'm in the hosp. I sure ur ok. Keep us updated :)
  • @breewashington08 I don't THINK its anxiety, I mean, yeah Im totally anxious for baby to get here and meet him, but Im not nervous or anything about delivering or anything. The thought is actually oddly calming. I could be very wrong tho. Im really not sure what is happening to my body right now :/ But I do know every time I stand up it hurts like all hell and feels like he is about to fall out of me! :S he is a lot lower today than usual as well.
  • Only u kno ur body sweetie an if smthn don't feel right then I dnt blame u for wantn to go to the er. Jus stay calm an positive :)
  • @breewashington08 hubby is in the shower right now and we are about to head out. Im actually bringing my birthing ball and baby bag just incase there is actually something seriously wrong like I feel there might be and he has to come out or something :S which kinda worries me that I have an odd notion like that but at least I will be prepared!!
  • Good luck mama!
  • good idea goin prepared. I hope evrything goes good! Goodluck
  • I hope everything is ok. Update when you can.
  • Okay so I went into the er and they basically told me I would be wasting 3 hours by admitting myself, so we went out for mexican food and I ate 3 cups of the spiciest salsa they had, drank a huge cup of pineapple juice and an about to walk a few laos around wal mart. I have had 3 now painful baby bump aches in about 15 minutes. So imma see if this does anything. Make that 4 cuz I just had another one. Sweet deal.
  • Ooo goodluck!!!!
  • Don't u wanna try to STOP labor?????!!!!!! I'm so confused...u said u were only36 weeks!!
  • :-? Ohhhh I hope its labor!!!! Lol that would be pretty amazing (& I'd expect some pics of course!!) U better let me know but until then I send u labor dust (easy labor dust) bc I can't wait!!! Oxoxo
  • okay so they are now consistent 3-5 minutes apart for the last hour about to walk into labor and delivery! Fingers crossed ladies! Hopefully this trip isn't pointless!
  • Keep us posted good luck. :) an October mommy might be a September mommy.
  • Two and a half hours very consistent 3-5 minutes still. Not unbearably painful. They are waiting in checking me to see if they die down at all. I'm very curious to see where this goes! :)
  • @nicoleok87 36 weeks is full term. Her baby is fully developed and is 100% safe if he/she is born.
  • Labor dust girk
  • **UPDATE**OKAY, SOOO... I was discharged cuz my cervix "wasn't dialating" they hadn't checked me in at least 2 hours so for all I know it actually was. I am STILL having consistent contractions this morning. I am in "labor" just not "active labor" quite yet, they said that my LO should be here, anywhere between 3 hours from then and 3 days! Im just hoping it will speed up a bit, cuz this is going to be a very long sloooooww labor if not! but my contractions don't hurt so bad, thank god, they are annoying and a little rough at times, but I have a lot of faith I can do this with out meds <3 I can only hope tho! They gave me the Okay to have him if he is coming (36 weeks), they will not stop it, no steroid shots needed :D Sooo ladies, I need that labor dust!!! Lets get this party started!!!!!



  • I hope you have better luck then me, I've been in early labor for going on 3 weeks :-(
  • @kenzie0713 oh sweet jesus! thats nutty! I hope you have your little one soon!! Labor dust to you!!!
