Contraction Survey.. BH or regular..

HDxNxJ

1. On average, how many are you getting per day? Latley it's been 2-3 an hour. Quite annoying. They dont stop until I am able to lay down.

2. What week did you begin having them? BH started about 2 weeks ago, but my doctor confirmed that what I am having now is more like regular contractions.. I am waiting another week before we decide about bed rest since at my last appointment my cervix was still closed.

3. On a scale of 1-10 how uncomfortable do you get when you get one? Normally, they are just annoying.. I have some during the end of my work day that take my breath away, and I have to bend over to be able to breathe. THAT is not fun at all!

1. On average, how many are you getting per day? Some days a couple per hour...other days (like today)...a couple every couple of hours.

2. What week did you begin having them? Around 30 weeks

3. On a scale of 1-10 how uncomfortable do you get when you get one? I would say 4-5, they feel like period-cramps to me.  The worst I've had them would be a 7-8...I don't even want to think about a real contraction! AHHH!!

2. What week did you begin having them? I started having them around 15 weeks and was placed on modified bedrest.  Around 29 weeks they became more frequent and I started to feel pressure and cramping.  My cervix started to change at the end of my 30th week.

1. On average, how many are you getting per day? About 3 or 4 an hour this week. Basically, as soon as I get at my desk chair or in a car they start rolling in and as soon as I can lay down, they're gone. 

2. What week did you begin having them? I'm sure I've been having them for a while now- but just this week did they start to become painful and send me to the dr once. 

3. On a scale of 1-10 how uncomfortable do you get when you get one? Mostly it's just period like cramping (1-3) that I can deal with, but after sitting in my desk chair for 4 hours they start to gradually hurt more and more. By 2:00, I'm bending over with the pain (6 or 7). Luckily, my bosses are letting me leave work as soon as it gets to be too much for me now.

1. On average, how many are you getting per day? I get them on average every 30-45min. 2 nights ago i had them 5 min apart, so I am monitoring them more closely now.

2. What week did you begin having them? around 20 I got them once every few days, and it slowly increased since then.

3. On a scale of 1-10 how uncomfortable do you get when you get one? Really, a 1. They aren't that uncomfortable, just a strange sensation. Sometimes I can't tell I'm having one until I poke my belly and find it hard.
