pain after contractions/false labor

lookame3639 · July 2014

Does anyone feel really worn down and achy after they've had contractions for so long? I was at work and had some pretty painful contractions which were both back and belly and to top it off I had some nasty lighting crotch to add to it all(for some reason when I get lightning crotch i also get discharge so that's fun too). They finally came to a stop after 2 or so hours but now I have aweful lower back pain and the top of my stomach is achy. :S

...sorry if this is a dumb question...

I'm in the same boat; relaxing in warm baths w Epsom salt and lavender ands chamomile have been helping with settling the aches.

I haven't really expirience false labor. With DS i had contractions for 2 weeks but they weren't hard contractions that left me tired and achy.

I do. I had contractions much of the day yesterday and even went to triage but not the real thing. Today I am very sore.

I started to have cramping in the back and front lower area (is it contractions?) about 3.5 hours ago that woke. About an hour into it I had what I would assume to be my bloody show. I'm not sure if this is the real deal or practice but the cramping gets stronger every 4.5 minutes or so and last 30-40 seconds. I'm waiting to see if its subsides or not bc it seems like a lot of you ladies have experienced this and it turns out not to be the real thing. This is my first sign of the birthing process though.

I'm spend my days achy and sore from intermittent contractions. Warm baths and heating pad on low help some. Also walking and stretching and swimming help.

The contractions I've had aren't that painful but I'm sore after all day of it like I did an intense workout. Abs are sore and my back hurts. It sucks!

After getting a cervical check yesterday I started having lots of contractions, but they werent painful at all, just slightly uncomfortable and tight. I had them the rest of the day though, and some when I woke up to use the bathroom in the night. I am very interested to see how my day goes today because I have a very busy one planned. Lots of water and as much rest as I can get I guess.

Is it still going on?

Yup! I have an appt in 5 hours so if I can gang I'm until then I'll definitely know if it's the real thing. I'm currently crawling with on my floor on hands and knees!
