Braxton Hicks or the Real Deal?
The past two days I've have on and off again contractions, some not easy some not but mostly at night. Last dark they were radiating from my spinal column around and were appreciably different than my ususal braxton hicks. I took a breathine pill to stop the contractions and it slowed them down and they eventually stopped on their own.
Today, however, I am contracting again only this time they are getting stronger - starting at top of uterus and working their approach down. Coming every 5 mins. I'll keep checking for a hour but how do you know what is false labor and what's legitimate? I am a first time mom. Thanks!
* At my OB apt. last week I be 2cm and 70% effaced
Answers: If they are coming every 5 mins and are regular...it's probably the unadulterated deal. You should also spot that they are intensifying.
When I had my son 18mos ago...I be terrified that I would be sent home when I started have contractions...they STARTED 5 mins apart...I never had a gradual kick-off...so I didn't think it be the real piece! I went to the hospital and be only 3cm dilated and going on for 60% effaced. They go ahead and admitted me and I deliver 4 hours later! Better to be locked than sorry...go ahead and travel.
You are definately going to be a mommy real soon! congratulations.
It sounds approaching the real concordat to me :) Good luck!!
I have have four and you sound basically like me beside no 4 .
Once they become regular and get stronger ,you are on your mode.
good luck! and when you are contained by labor for real you will utter to yourself this is it because there is no denying a true labor strain. You will not question it to be exact for sure. I was told that if you can't rest comfortably or sleep next you are probably on your way. It sounds close to the real buy and sell. Get ready for your infant mommy!
By now I conjecture you would have realised, this is the valid deal! Good luck!
