Does anyone else second guess theirselves?!?!

Question

This is my third pregnancy and I swear I'm constantly second guessing myself about if they're real contractions or Braxton Hicks 😖 
I never had consistent contractions with my girls when I was in active labor but I haven't noticed any fluid leakage or bloody discharge so I guess baby boy is going to stay in there longer

Answer

Oh yeah,  this is my third as well and is totally different then the previous two.  I'm a mess thinking I'm in labor.  It's so hard to tell with this one.  I never had Braxton hicks I could feel .  When I lost my mucus plug and has my bloody show with our last I had our son the next day.  I lost all this two days ago,  followed by intense contractions all day Saturday,  just to have them stop .  This baby is sure taking her sweet time and giving me a total heart attack .  Hopefully we are soon . I wish you a smooth labor and delivery .  I can't wait for pictures!!

Answer

I am a first time mom and I don't know what to expect so every little cramp I get excited and it turns out it's nothing 😔 i can't wait for the real deal 😜

Answer

Yep second pregnancy. Totally different from my first. I feel like a first time mom at times. I think bc I was in college and distracted the duration of my first pregnancy I didnt get the full of experience nor did I pay much attention.  Now 5yrs later, I feel totally dumbfounded lol. Like "uhm..so what do I put in the baby bag" lol

Answer

Well I went to the doctor today AND he told me I was not thinned nor dilated one bit!! These Braxton hick contractions this time are no joke they're killing me 😩 I'm having anxiety thinking about having to be induced!! My first pregnancy I was and than I had my second daughter and I was like dang I don't want to ever be induced again it's SO much more painful!!!! Good luck to all you other mommies!! I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling completely clueless lol it definitely feels like it's my first time doing this 😳

Answer

Yep fri and last night 3 hours of painful pelvic contractions. Hurt and had to breathe thru them but problem was I went from nothing to having them every 3-4 minutes. With first water broke no contractions so was induced. Second labor started normally. Contractions every 15 minutes so just went for a long walk til they where more intense and every 9-10 minutes then went home and packed hospital bags and dropped daughter off went to hospital. So now I'm terrified with them being immediately intense and close. No idea what to make of them. They last 2-3 hrs. I never know should I go on or stay home. I have appt in am so gonna talk to the dr bout it but I feel like a newbie. Every pregnancy and labor r seriously so different. Freaks me out. Plus my girls both stayed high and this boy is so low it feels like his head is between my legs so I'm terrified it's gonna go super fast

Answer

Yes #3 for me as well and still second guess. A few weeks ago I thought for sure I was in active labor one day but nope.

Answer

Ugh all of the time. I was induced with all of mine previously different dad's and had preclampsia with all of my first 3 this one different dad is amazing only problem I have had is water weight because I'm swelling up like a balloon

Answer

All the time. Each pregnancy has been so different. It's really hard to say when I'll go into labor. Such a waiting game . Good luck !

Answer

Yep constantly and it's v frustrating x
