Contractions?
Posted: 11-30-06 14:21pm

Yes ive hada kid already and not that long ago it was august 2005 but I forget what contractions feel like and they arent always in one specific area. But tonight my belly keeps getting tight , but im not sure if im having contractions cuz I also get like very uncomfy pressure/pain like in my pelvis area. I actually had to stop at th ebottom of the stairs for a min after putting my son to bed to let it pass.
Are these contractions? They arent really painful but its just a wee bit uncomfy. Im gonna take a shower though and come back and see if anyone posted anything .

Sounds like it might be braxton hicks

How far along are you? I agree with kia - they're probably braxton hicks. If it was a proper contraction then i'm sure you'd know, especially since you've been there before. How the hell could you forget by the way?!!! Laughing ouchie!

Maybe if you try and sit down for a little while and put your feet up, you might feel better, when is your next dr appointment, maybe the baby might have dropped a little more or you could have over done it and I am sure that it is difficult with a little one needing your attention, I know, I have been there. When your hubby gets home ask him to help out some.
Take care!

I'm agreeing with kia and ingi here, probably braxton hicks. I asked the same question before I had chu and everyone told me that i'd know when I was having real contractions. At the time I thought it was lame but it's definitely true!!!

Thats what im thinkin they are, earlier I was sitting there debating on whether to call my hubby or not cuz I felt miserable but thats cu zi felt hot and pukey on top of the pain , but now its not so bad and its not in any sorta pattern, tomorow I am gonna try and take it easy the best ican, I gotta go on base and pay a stupid parking ticket cuz germany sucks. And get joseph apples, ran out of the ones he likes so he will have to do witha green one for breakfast tomorow lol.
Even sitting sucks though because when I get up it hurts my pelvis or cervix alto sometimes, l ike I feel like my crotch might break in half lol, it just sucked that hubby is working overnight tonight of all nights that I feel like crap but I gotta head to bed soon anyways its after 10pm

each pregnancy is different and you might not have had braxton hicks contractions with your first pregnancy - but that doesn't mean you won't get them this time. Make sure to keep yourself hydrated and rest.

Yeah , I sooooooo need to work on hydration, I havent drank much water today other then like half a glass this morning.

Its weird u think u can use your previous pregnancy to like know whats going on with your body the 2nd time around but ya really cant between the 2 they have been totally different.

Ive heard the bh's get worse with each pregnnacy too and they suck really bad on this one but as far as I know im done having kids , at least while in germany. I think hubby may want another boy but eh not anytime soon

Happy early .Anniversary! My .Niece by marriage is over in .Germany, her husband is in the .Army, he is a cook, she hates .Germany too, their names are .Jason and .Tammi .Mobley and they have two little boys and want to try again for a little girl. He is supposed to go to iraq in .March, which is really horrible. Well, I hope you get some rest and get to feeling better! Does your .Hubby plan on being a lifer in the military, I mean like retiring from the military?
All the best to you and yours!

He wants to retired but he might either become an officer in the army or switch to coast guard or airfoce but maybe not, depends what our next base will be like after this one. Its neat that our daughter will be born in germany. My son was born in florida. It seems like the end of this pregnancy is just going sooooooooooooo fast.The past week when I wake up though omg I hurt and my pelvis hurts so bad in the mornings.
I should finigh my hospital bags huh lmao I kinda got halfway through em and stopped. Jordynnes is the only one packed, joseph needs a diaper bag packed for the babysitter too. Ifi keep thinking I have time I will end up packing through contractions and give birth in my car lol its almsot an hr to the hospital depending how hubby drives and the traffic. We take the autobahn to get there Smile

Let the doc. Know. I was having those symptoms on wednesday and they sent me to the hospital to have a stress test done. Everything turned out okay and i'm waiting for my results to come back to let me know if I have a bladder infection because they say that may cause that kind of pain as well. I'm glad everything turned out okay and it wasn't contractions because i'm only 27 weeks.
