Are These Contractions?
Posted: 08-11-05 13:34pm

Hi,
last nite, I woke up to severe pains in
the bottom of my stomach and at the sides.
They last for about 30 seconds and came
every 15/20 minutes for about 3 hours,
then they just stopped.
When I woke up this morning, I had the
same pains for a few minutes and
throughout today and have been getting
these pains.
I am just 38 weeks pregnant and dont know
whether these are contractions starting?
I dont want to go to the hospital, in case
its nothing.
What do you guys thinks?
Thanks in advance. :d

I would deffinatly get yourself to the
hospital, if they are not contractions
then you need to get yourself checked out
anyway.

went to the hospital last nite, everything
is ok. Not in labour yet and baby is
fine. Just have to wait and put up with
the pains/contractions until they get
closer together.
Thanks again.

Usually Want Us to Wait Until 5 Min Apart And Constant...

If it continues to stop it means not yet.
But if they stay constant or if big gush
of water, go to hospital. And of course
if any blood present go to hospital..
Have you lost mucus plug??
It is slimy mucusy snot thing, usually
tinged with blood. Sometimes comes
within 2 weeks of delivery. Are you
dialated at all? Usually 2 or 3 cm
before we actually go into full(true)
labor.

The pains come for every 20/30 minutes for
about 3 to 4 hours, then stop for about
7/8 hours and then start back again. I
have had some discharge over the past
couple of days - it was clear, no blood.
In the hospital last nite, was told I
wasnt dialated at all. :(

Contractions

I was wondering something. I am 32 weeks
and for the last two days I have been
cramping more and some lower back pain.
This morning when I woke up about 6:30 my
legs were both cramping. Is this a sign
of contrations and what is the deal with
my legs? If these are contrations they
are about 30 to 45 min apart and then they
last about 10 to 20 seconds. Just
concerned.

Leg cramps are common, as I have said most
women seem to drop around 32 weeks then
agin at 2 weeks from due, then the day
before. If the baby has dropped it would
cause more cramping, more vaginal pains,
more leg cramps along with b/h contraction
preparing for that special day!!
Good luck fast safe delivery to you all
love "momma"
ps all the 20 somethings year old kids
around here call me momma

Thanks for all your help.
Was at hospital appointment this morning.
Doc sasy babies head is down completely.
Just have to wait for him to come when he
is ready. Hopefully its sooner rather
than later.
Contractions seemed to have stopped, just
come and go the odd time but very sore
down there because of him lying so low.

I think you 2 are about same weks 32
right??
I am thinking the lower pains is mostly
just the pressure of the baby getting in
the birth canal. It will cause the pains
in vagina and lower stomach--opening to 2
to 3 cm be4 remember?
Much luck and save speedy delivery to all
of you.

Hi, i'm 38 weeks also, and I had the same
thing happen to me sunday night (10/09)
(the contractions) but didn't go to the
hospital until monday night. I was told
that my cervix hadn't dialated at all, but
it had thinned. I'm really wondering if
this means we're going to be going into
labor soon!? I know you don't know the
answer to this, as you are experiencing
the same thing, but I wish you luck and
hope all goes well. I really hope the
end is near... :)

Hey- i've been having the same thing, and
I went into hospital (twice) and was told
I wasn't dilated at all.
I will not be going back to hospital now
unles my waters break, or I actually see a
head.
I don't trust myself to recognise proper
labour any more- I was so sure the 2nd
time. I had my mam come to my place at 3
in the morning, and had my dad drive me
and the husband in, only to find out there
was nothing going on cervix-wise.
I'm from dublin too- we emigrated to
australia (melbourne) in 1986, when I was
8.
We lived in artane.
