Just wondering if others feel this way too. With DD I never had Braxton Hicks or any contractions whatsoever until I went into labor.
This pregnancy I've been having contractions for month's now. I've also been feeling a lot of strong pressure way down low. It kind of makes me uneasy thinking that I might be going into labor and not really realize it for a while. I'm not really worried but it seems so amazing to me that things could be so different.
Re: 2nd time mom's - it's so different this time???
Same here as far as the BH goes. I never experienced them with DS, but I have had quite a few this time. I was hoping that it might be a sign of a faster, earlier labor (and by earlier, I just mean not late!). But I'm not getting my hopes up.
I don't remember DS being so painful when he moved around either, and he definitely didn't punch me in the crotch like this little girl does.
They've been very different. With DD I never felt a contraction or very uncomfortable. I was 2 weeks overdue and still had no contractions. WIth this one, I've been having contractions for weeks and they were two minutes apart last Friday and we spent 4 hours in L&D. They gave me some meds to stop them but they never completely went away. I'm still getting them. I'm just hoping by my next appointment on Tuesday that I've made some progress. I don't know if I can handle another 4 weeks of this pain and discomfort.
The exact same thing is happening with me. It's crazy.
I was induced with DS because he was a week late, so I have no idea how it feels to have labour start gradually on it's own. I'm also concerned that I could be in labour and have no idea until things are really progressing.
