I have been having contractions for two days now so I went in today. They confirmed contractions but every 10 min apart- which is a good thing. They are giving me antibiotics just in case it's a bladder infection and pelvic rest for the weekend to see if it stops. Hopefully they stop- I just don't know how I would handle bed rest again- especially with a 2 yo.
How do I know if I'm having a contraction and not just norm cramps?
Time them. If they come in rhythm i'd call your doctor, or go to L&D. Believe me FTM here and i had no idea what a contraction was until i started getting them monday.
It started feeling like ovulation/early period cramps than quickly progressed to more rhythmical ones
Mine are mostly in my back. It was the same when I had preterm labor with my son. This time they are in my backs no stomach but I recognized the back pain pretty quickly and the tightening of the stomach that came along with it made it obvious. But with my son my mother in law was secretly timing them bc I was sure it was normal achy back pain- they were 3 min apart
