Braxton Hicks/labor?? Posted: 01-19-07 16:42pm
Okay for about an hour now I been having
alot of braxton hicks along with lots of
pressure in my upper tummy!
Can labor start off with braxton hicks?
Instead of full blown painful
contractons?
Im not feeling any of the cramps with them
yet just the normal back pain I been
getting.
Any info would be highly appreciated!!

im 38 weeks. I been getting bh for weeks
now. I just been getting alot of them
today. I was told I have to wait for
contractions every 5 minutes for 2 hours
since I been having them for awhile now.
At first contractions start out uncomfy
but pattern like then become painful, I
got lots of bh this pregnancy but it was
my 2nd kid

My entire first day of contractions were
mildly uncomfortable - not painful at all.
I watched tv the whole time and munched
on ice chips. They only got painful for
me in the last couple of hours. Before
that, they felt like mild gas pains or
like menstrual cramps after you've taken a
tylenol and slapped a heating pad on.

oh my!! I had severe "gas pains" late
last night but I didnt have gas. I was
thinking what? And then since I woke up
thies morning I been having bh. They have
calmed down some since I posted this post
but they are still there. Maybe this
means I will go into labor soon.

I never had bh but I remember feeling
"weird and gassy" all day, and at 11pm
that night my water broke. I had no idea
I was in labour and had been having
contractions. Lol thank god my water
broke! Lol
it's very possible that this is the
begining of labour. Or you could go
another few weeks (if you go over 40w)
lol

i want that type of labor!! Lol
my little one hasnt been as active as
much and I have read that they "calm down"
a few days before labor but I have also
read about them doing the opposite too. I
guess im just going to have to wait and
see. Hopefully the wait wont be too long.
lol
