Question

I had about 3-4 hours of mild contractions last night. They were gone by morning but I’m having a ton of BH. I’m gonna work on getting those contractions back today since I took the day off thinking I was in labor!! I’m going to walk 2-3 miles first. Any other ideas? I feel like something is definitely happening down there, I’m definitely cramping and have some cervical pain.

Answer

Not trying to bum you out but I’ve had consistent painful contractions for a good several hours every day for the past week - just doesn’t seem to want to progress any further than that. I am dilating and effacing but my doctor said these early contractions can start and stop a few times before my body decides to actually commit to birthing this baby haha 😅 that being said do some curb walking and bounce on an exercise ball? Maybe you’ll have better luck than me!

Answer

This happens to me almost every other day now. No baby, not even dilation. And sometimes I swear it feels like someone is pulling my cervix apart....how is it not changing anything!?!? Hope you have better luck than me!

Answer

Ive been having semi-painful contractions for about 2 weeks on and off, sometimes for hours at a time, sometimes all night. I am 3cm dilated and 50% effaced at 36w1d, but the doctor indicated labor could still be weeks off.

Answer

Same with not trying to bum you out but I’ve had the same things happening for two weeks 😐

Answer

Wait. I’m going by the 5-1-1 rule. Contractions have to be 5 minutes apart, lasting for 1 minute, for 1 hour. I’ve had contractions since Saturday night but no baby yet!
