Parenting after a Loss

***ll3414****

Thanks for responding!!  I'm having some anxiety over here!!  I googled and most of waht i read says you feel them in the back.  I was kind of doubled over in the front by waht you describe very well as bad period cramps...did u have them in your back too?

  • I didn't...but some people definitely have "back labor". 

    I would start writing down the time when you feel them... and see if they are starting to become regular.  I wasn't sure that what I was feeling at first was true labor... but it did eventually turn into the real thing!  I remember just walking down our street and doubling over every 10 minutes or so when they would come.  30 seconds later I was back to normal...

    First labors tend to be long... so just try and relax if you can.  Our Bradley class always suggested : eat, drink, shower, walk, nap... and if you still feel them it's probably the real thing!

  • Great!  Thanks so much.  I had some on Christmas Eve night too but they fizzled out.  I had a few a little while ago but they have subsided for now.  I'll keep an eye on them though!  Did you feel significant decrease or increase in movement of the baby when you were in labor?  He's still pretty active in there!!

  • I had them start and stop for about a week and a half before they were the real deal... it was so frustrating! You just want to have it happen!

    I never really noticed a lot of movement with the baby once I was in labor.  A lot of activity in the days leading up to it though!

    You'll be on this board very soon from the sounds of it! :)
