Contractions questions

[Deleted]

No and no.

I never felt contractions either time until it was Shit Getting Reak time. But I think I'm weird.

Are you having a section? I forget. I'm excited you're so close!

So where did you feel them? My lower back is having me writhing on the sofa in pain.  I'm started to panic a little.

c/s scheduled for august 25th and I terribly want to make it to then!

My back mostly. Hard to describe but it was more than just the terrible pain I has the last couple of weeks.

I had sharp crotch pains toward the end of my labor with DD. But I had them other times too when I wasn't in labor just from the pressure.
My contractions felt like everything tightening around my middle. I never felt anything like that in my back. I wonder if baby is just sitting on some nerves?
If you're writing and can't move I would ask your doctor though.

My cx always came in waves vs. static pain. I can't remember specific vag pain, but prob had some. Felt like horrible cramps. I had a lot of sharp pain that my OB said was Round Ligament pain.

Does the pain come and go?

[waterchurch]

Crotch pressure is the worst. I remember when I was in labor with dd my doula was laughing at me because I kept standing up off the ball, as if that would help. I just wanted to get away!

I hope things calm down and you make it to your section.

Yes? He seems to be moving around a lot and putting pressure everywhere right now.

I wish I had some frame of reference but with Noah I didn't feel a single contraction (was induced and went to c/s pretty immediately)

Sounds like you're having contractions. I'd go get checked especially since you're a csection.

Start paying attention if it starts again. I had an app or a piece of paper, and at first I thought it was nothing (and I ended up induced so in the end it was I guess) but they were definite contractions. It wasn't until actually paying attention and writing it down that it clicked though.

Also don't discount the possibility of back labor.

I can't believe it's almost time!!

I had awful back pain that came and went. It was back labor and I thought I was gonna die from the pain.

I didn't have the back pain or the stabbing pain-lots of rectal pressure. My contractions usually felt like they started from the top of my uterus in waves all the way down, like if someone was clenching it hard with a fist.

Definitely call! Writhing in pain is never a good thing.

[starburst]

I didn't have back or vag pain, but I hear it's pretty common. My contractions were all in my lower belly.

Good luck!

I haven't had much back pain but definitely get the stabbing crotch pains here and there. I always get excited like ooh maybe labor is starting, but clearly that has not been the case.

[teatimefor2]

Everything tightened and I felt tight as well. Plus I kept having to use the restroom, I felt the urge to push.

My contractions were surprising short, less than a minute, but really intense. They were surprised when I got on the monitors.

The last few weeks are tough!

Real painful not just crampy contractions felt like a charlie horse

I had a lot of terrible crotch pain late in pregnancy from the pressure. I felt like I was tearing in half.
