2+ minute single contraction?

Whitney DDWhitney DD
in February 2011 Moms

Hey ladies. I had just gotten home from work and was changing and felt back pain combined with my uterus tightening. I whipped out my iphone and started my app that times them, and after over 2 minutes noticed the tightened feeling and pain was not going away. And no, it wasn't the baby pressed up against my uterus because the whole thing, top bottom and sides was hard as a rock. It probably lasted for about 3 minutes, but then I thought, contractions don't last that long.... and I haven't had one since (granted its only been about 8 minutes.)

Anyone experience this or something similar?

    Yep...had this very thing happen to me last week. I timed them and everything...went to l&d and was told they were bh. Man, I felt dumb. I hope this isn't the case with you...hope it's the real deal :)

    I had them on Tuesday. Mine was false labor but lasted over an hour. Drink water lay down if they go away then it's just false labor or BH not sure if that's the same thing? But if they keeping coming then that's real labor according to my doctor.

    I've had them last 15-20 min.  My OB said they shouldn't, but they have on occasion.  She had no idea why, but also didn't seem concerned.  I'd agree, drink tons of water and lie down.  That's what I try to do when they happen to me.
