3rd Trimester

Nighttime Contractions

For the last 3 nights I have been getting (what I think) are actually kind of painful (and really painful if I stand up) contractions.  The first two nights I only felt 2 or 3 (I may have slept through more though), but last night I was so excited because they were regular for a little while and then they fizzled out!  Anyone have previous experience with these?  My sister said this happened with her first a couple of nights before she went into labor so I am REALLY hoping!!  As of Friday I was only 1cm dialated and 25% effaced though.

Re: Nighttime Contractions

  • I have been contracting regularly for 2 weeks now.  I am 2 cm's and 90% effaced and nadda.  I am being induced Saturday.

  • Good luck with that. I've been contracting at regular intervals in the evenings for almost two weeks. They start around 7pm, last until 7am (5-10 minutes apart and anytime I roll over), and then peter out during the day to a few an hour.
  •  I have an irritable uterus so I have been having timeable contractions since 33 weeks...did you have a full bladder? I notice that at night they are much more painful if I have a full bladder. Hopefully yours turn into real labor soon! (since you are full term!!)

  • Thank you!  I've been having contractions for months but they just "changed" to painful!  Yes, when I would get up I would have a full bladder and those times it was hard to walk to the bathroom so that must be why!  Thank you!

  • I've been doing this at night for the past few days too. It's enough to wake me up but by day time there is nothing. I don't really understand. Maybe just getting BH's at night?
