contractions and not feeling them?

Question

Is anyone else having contractions but not feeling them?? I was at L&D yesterday because I have another kidney infection and on the monitor I was having contractions anywhere between 2-10 min apart but I never felt one of them....
Makes me worried I won't feel them when I actually go into labor

Answer

I was at my NST apt yesterday and felt the baby moving around like normal so I was just relaxing. The nurse came in and said do you know you're having contractions?
Um, no?? She said you have had three in the last 10 min and we don't want to see more than six in an hour. I thought it was the baby moving...long story short I had 7 in 30 min so they admitted me to triage, gave me a pill to try and stop them, checked my cervix (not dialated at all) and gave me the FFN swab. I started to feel slightly menstrual type cramps but no real pain with the contractions. A woman came in clearly in labor, very loud and I said nope I don't feel like that at all! After 3 1/2 hours of monitorimg and a negative FFN swab they determined that I'm not going into labor for at least two weeks and discharged me. I'm just 34 w today so it was a huge scare yesterday but a big relief at the end.  I'm told we will feel the difference with active labor contractions.

Answer

How strong were they on the monitor? I went in due to not feeling the baby move and was having some, pretty consistent but not strong. I didn't feel them at all.

Some woman have silent labor...i do.....with my first I was in labor for 12 hours after being induced. I didn't feel any contractions even at 7cm, I had to go to c section cause baby's heart rate went to low but i was progressing. My mother also has silent labors and said she doesn't start feeling her contractions until 8cm dilated. Literally she gave birth to my youngest brother in a parking lot because she didn't feel the contractions until it was too late lol

When I was in hospital at around 28 weeks, nurse showed me contractions that I wasn't feeling. She said don't stress, any pregnant women on a contraction monitor would show, it's all about timing and intensity I guess?

Answer
