As you can see I'm still prego. Tomorrow I'll be 39wks.
I went into L&D today for lack of movement. Everything came back A-okay but b.c of his positioning I couldn't feel the smaller kicks, just the karate kick ones. So I was sent home.
Well, here I am at 6:30pm and I've been having cramping on/off for about 1.5hours. It's like a period but lasts anywhere from 15seconds-1min. I've been bouncing on the exercise ball which seems to help but they are so painful at times!
Is this a "possible" early sign of labor? Did any of you ladies experience this before baby was born? If so, how long? Hours? Days? A week +?
Thank you!
Re: Ladies! I need your help! Please!
Sounds like you are having contractions to me. Ditto the PP - I suggest drinking lots of water and walking around/bouncing on the ball to see if they go away. If they keep increasing in frequency and intensity, you may be headed back to the hospital soon! If they slow down/go away, I think it's atleast a good sign that your body is preparing itself for labor.
My contrax started out kind of like that - felt kind of like period cramps - they quickly became more intense and frequent. My daughter was born about 10 hours after I felt the first one. Good luck!
Thank you! My DH is pacing the house thinking I'm going to go now. Lol. I keep trying to eat my dinner (a sandwhich) and it's taking forever b.c I have to keep getting up and bouncing! Ugh. I miss regular Aunt Flo. THESE cramps are a darn painful tease!
This! I had contractions for like 2 weeks before the real thing. But when they were real, there was no mistaking it!!!
I had those period cramp pains for two weeks before DD was born! (But I also had a really fast delivery, and I think it was because of all the prep work being done by those cramps.)
GL!!
