Stupid question- contractions?
in GP Moms
So I am supposed to lay down for an hour 2X a day and count my contractions. I've been doing this for 3 weeks and I've never felt one. I'm so worried that I'm missing them and it's messing up my whole program. When you ladies get them do you know what they are? Am I going to be able to tell when I get one?
Re: Stupid question- contractions?
The day before going into labor, I started having Menstrual like cramps at first, then within the hours they started getting sharper and sharper and I could definitely count those and you could not miss those.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
How are you feeling?
With DS they started earlier and pretty much felt like tightening. Belly would get hard and I maybe would feel some pressure, but they definitely don't hurt like real contractions.

I'm part of the preterm labor prevention program through my hospital. I have to monitor all this stuff and I get a call once a week from a nurse to go over everything. They tell me I'll start feeling BH type contractions early because I'm so big already. Pink- I'm feeling really good so far.

I had lots and lots of BH and started getting them around 26weeks. Mine were painless usually, but my whole uterus would go rockhard. The monitor couldn't pick them up even though I was having them 4-5min apart at 33w, was 3cm dilated and 50% effaced, and tested positive for the febril fibronectin test. I was given the steroid shots put on bedrest for a month as a result and they continued every day until I delivered.
All that to say, I think if you aren't feeling anything, that is a great sign at this stage! Hopefully those babes are comfy in there for another 9-10 weeks

After my water broke, my contractions were dull pain at first. Halfway to the hospital, the contractions became unbearable and tough to concentrate through.
