Do These Look Like Real Contractions??
Posted: 02-25-06 21:35pm

I've been timing my contractions the last little bit...And they're not exactly steady (ie. Always every 10 minutes) but they've all been 10 minutes or less...I haven't gotten up yet to move around because I am afraid it will stop them. Lol.

i had a bit of back pain with the first one...But these ones just feel like my abdomen is being squeezed by some giant hand and i'm going to explode. They kind of hurt...But not really bad...I'm guessing it it's real labour it will get worse later...Lol


anyways just wanted to know what you guys thought, i'm just to excited and hopeful to really get my hopes up...Lol!


I guess what i'm asking is does it matter that they're kinda jumpy but under 10 mins?

Thanks I went to the hospital, and I am having steady contractions but they're not strong enough yet so they sent me home. The nurse said I am still a 1-2 cm dilated (i was one cm at 34 weeks and my doctor said I was almost 2, two weeks ago) but my cervix is really thin (about 70-80%) and so she asked me how I felt about coming home and advised me too because she thinks this may be my last night with a good sleep (i hope she is right!!), she also said that she thinks once I start going into more productive labor that it'll progress really fast (i hope so!) lol...So I am just waiting now...I hope when I wake up in the morning I am still having contractions (i've been home for an hour and still getting them). Just thought i'd update you guys :)
