Anyone else had this? Any suggestions?

Ok 37 weeks and 3 days. I've had my uterus harden like a contraction since about 5pm last night and occassionally there's pain associated with it occasionally not. I was only able to get about 7-ish hours of sleep waking up every 2 hours due to pain. Almost 2 weeks ago I was dialated to 3 cm and about 50 percent effaced but since this is my first, I'm told that doesn't mean anything. Has anyone else ever had labor contractions that didn't cause pain? I mean is that even possible?

  • I've had this since second trimester.  My uterus will just tighten and stay like that for hours.  No pain, it just feels weird.  Also water, changing positions does nothing.

    All of this.  It wakes me up at night sometimes too.

    This is me too. It happens almost every night now.

    Sounds like you're just experiencing frequent braxton hicks contractions. If it's the real deal, they'll pick up in frequency, and you can bet that they're going to be painful. If you're really unsure, call your care provider for advice.


    This. I called my dr about them yesterday bc they were like exactly 6 minutes apart but she told me "if you were in labor you would know it" she said drink water and rest/ lay down to see if they go away
  • Braxton Hicks. I have them all the time.

    June 2010-April 2012: Lots of trying, chlomid, gonal-f, with triggers, without, IUI's and tons of BFNs
    May2012: Letrozole + IUI = BFP!!!! Due 2/10/13
  • Went to L&D not Braxton Hicks, they're real, but they don't "count" them since I'm not dialating...sooo confused. Gotta call Dr. in AM and set up an appt to see what they want to do.
