What do real contractions feel like in comparison to braxton hicks?

Saturday, October 30th, 2010
tiffany a asked:


Can you feel every real contraction with your hand? Do they tighten all over the belly every single time? I have what I think are contractions but I can only feel part of my abdomin tightening. I don’t feel tightening under my breast bone, but do all below. Especially below the belly button.

What can happen if I ignore contractions and wait until my water breaks to go to the hospital?

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010
Captain Knackles asked:


I don’t want to show up at the hospital for nothing. Is it dangerous to ignore contractions about 5 to 10 min appart and wait until my water breaks. I live about 5 mins from my hospital.

I will be 38 weeks tomorrow and am experiencing contractions that get worse when I walk, but better or almost non-existant when I lay down.

How do Contractions feel when you are Induced?

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010
mlallison702 asked:


I am scheduled to be induced on Thursday (when I hit 38wks) and I have heard that it can cause your labor to be harder. They are planning on breaking my water and having me walk to get the contractions going. I am already dilated to 5 cm and am almost 100% effaced. I just don’t know what it will feel like. I know that them breaking my water is supposed to be painless but I am nervous about how strong the contractions will be afterwards.

How close do contractions have to be before you go to hospital?

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
bernie0805 asked:


How long do contractions have to be before they tell you to go to the hospital if your water has not broken? Isn’t it less than 5 min apart lasting at least 1min?

Please note- I am not pregnant so please don’t tell me to go to the hospital! LOL
5-1-1 That’s it! Thanks!

What are contractions like in back labor?

Saturday, October 16th, 2010
I love sushi asked:


I have been having regular and braxton hicks contractions for a while now, but today I have been taking my medication to prevent them and haven’t really been having the usual stomach contractions, but my back is absolutely killing me. Can someone discribe back labor and contractions to me. How does it differ from regular labor and contractions?

What do real labor contractions feel like in the beginning? Before they become super painful?

Monday, October 11th, 2010
♥ мσммy ʈσ βαby Ąĺęxíã Ÿủřęĺí ♥ asked:


I’ve been having what I believe are contractions. They sent pain around my low back but they are NOT menstrual-like. They are another type of pain. I am not sure if it’s contractions though because my uterus only balls up on one side, but it does hurt.

Are these contractions?
I went to the hospital today actually and was sent back home. No dilation yet.
I’M asking what kind of pain is it? PLEASe?
