edited October 2012 in Pregnant
I have been laying down since 11:30, & all of a sudden.. My baby started moving and I kept gettn sharp pains in my cervix , so I started timing the pains, and it's 12:47 and I still have them 2-3 minutes apart and frequent urination.. But I can tolerate the pain... Are the real labor contractions...? I sat up and still having them now I'm Layn back down but they are getting less painful and shorter

    Oh they will still try and stop labor if you are in.labor. but just to b on the safe side.. because i knw that when i felt like if i had to poop its was because the baby was right there.. when i was like 8cm dilated already..

    @jen91811 @36wks they wont stop labor
  • NewMommyNicoleNewMommyNicole

  • jen91811jen91811
    They did with me at 36wks. They said they had to try to stop delieveries before 37wks.
  • Steph_Due_101611Steph_Due_101611
    Oh. Here they dont stop them after 35wks. Maybe it depends on the hospital. Idk.
  • NewMommyNicoleNewMommyNicole
    Calling my doctor
  • jen91811jen91811
    I knw e actly wat u mean i would dilate early too and it would stop which seemed like for ever but one day i didnt even knw and i went to my weekly ob check up and i was in labor and didnt even know it she checked me and i was @5cm so she put me in a room with the monitors and i was contracting every 3 minutes and she checked me again and i was at 6cm then when i got to the hospital i was at 8cm.
  • jen91811jen91811
    @steph_due_101611 yea it maybe depends in which state or hospital i guess because here i had to have labor stopped like 3 times up until 37 weeks my.son was born.at 38weeks 5days
  • jen91811jen91811

    @jen91811 my last pregnancy i was told as long as i made it to 34wks they weren't stopping it.
  • jen91811jen91811
    I guess it is different lol i should of gone where u went lol i wouldnt of suffered as much as i did with my son since he was too big.and barely fit threw the birth canal. Dr told me that he was the biggest i.could have without a csection. My son came out even bruised..
  • NewMommyNicoleNewMommyNicole
    Well they sent me home cause I'm only 3cm and 80 effaced and at station -1. The contractions are not as strong as last night, but I still have them

    So, what did they say? Was they braxton hicks?
  • coltensmammacoltensmamma
    How you feeling now?!

    I sweat I was in pre-labor for at least two weeks before they finally sent me in to have my son. I had what you are describing, where I couldn't tell if they were real contractions or braxton hicks, and they were KILLER sometimes and other times I couldn't feel them. I went in once because i was having regular, timable contractions for four hours that got worse and they sent me hime because they were "just braxton hicks." The day I delivered I was at a 4 when I got to the doctor and having regular contractions that I couldn't even feel. I had him at 37 weeks. I would always go in if your having either kind of contractions for more than an hour or so, especially if they are getting worse or not letting up.

    They just said I wasn't in actual labor , she checked me 3 times and my cervix didn't change . But I'm still having contractions there just not severe
