I Think I Am Having Contractions ....

So I'm kinda wondering if this is a real question you have posted 10 questions in the last week? You just went to the hospital was it yesterday or the day before and they said you are fine. Did you ever get a new Docotr on Wednesday you didn't have one? Is your milk still overflowing to the point that you can bottle it?? Seems like you have a had a lot of really strange things going on. My suggestion is to stop reading so much you must be a really worried person. Just relax you will be fine. Your only 19 where do your parents live? Can you talk to your mom? You are very young and need someone in person to support you not just people online. I really hope you have a strong support system before this baby comes because you will drive yourself crazy after the baby is born with questions about what is normal. If you really are in severe pain go back to the hospital but if you don't have insurance like you said before maybe you could go to a clinic you need to see someone. Good luck

Call your doctor or just go to the emergency room. Braxton Hicks don't hurt.

Yes contractions hurt.
*Keep us posted if you are able to!

Time your "contractions" if that is what it is... look at a clock/watch and see how often you get them....
IF the "contractions" are coming regularly every 5 minutes, you may very well be in labor... then get yourself to an ER or hospital.

*IF your "contractions" are getting more frequent at all... then you need to tell your Doctor as well, and be prepared for going to the hospital.

*IF these are contractions... and you are in labor, call your Hubby and have him come home. You will need help to move around and do other things.

*If you pee and a discharge comes out, something that looks like big bloody "mucous"... this is called the "mucous plug" and this means you are going into labor.

*If your water bag breaks, and you suddenly get wet like pee came out of you, then your water bag "broke" and this is going into labor.

Sit down or lie down and rest, drink lots of water...
call your Hubby to let him know... is someone home with you?
If you are really uncomfortable or indeed having contractions, do NOT drive yourself to the hospital... call an ambulance.

Sunshine, CALL your Doctor, and ask her/him about it... and tell him/her what you are experiencing.

*KEEP your phone/cell phone right next to you, in case you cannot stand up or walk and need to call your Hubby or the Hospital or Doctor or 911. Also, you don't want to stumble or fall down if you are having pain, by accident, and hurt your tummy. Think about safety as well.

All the best,

yes, are you at home now? If so as you are early, take a warm bath for at least 20 min. and do deep breathing to calm down the contraction and get it to stop.

Labor contractions are usually 5 to 7 minutes apart and continue over a longer period of time. They feel like menstrual cramps as opposed to Braxton Hicks which are usually much milder with a tightening of the stomach.

Either way, if you are in that much pain I would call your OBGYN or just go to the hospital.

yes they do hurt a lot however if you are on here than that was most likely a braxton hix for some women they hurt more and more as you get closer to labor. you will know when it is a real contraction there is no questioning a real contraction.

If you are still experiencing the pains, you should probably go to the hospital. If you are only 33 weeks along, they can try to stop the labor from progessing any further. Drink lots of water, eat something healthy and try to sleep. If the pains go away, then you are not in labor just yet. Your body is beginning to prepare for labor. If the cramping sensations continue after you have tried the above, then definitely go to the hospital. I hope you are alright, please update us...
