I'm Never Timing a Contraction AGAIN!!!!

vanmostudio · December 2015

I don't know about you ladies, but I have wasted countless hours of sleep and sanity timing painful contractions that just stop after 5 hours. THREE WEEKS OF THIS! AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHH!!!!
...that is all.

Been having them for over 10 weeks I feel your pain.

Was up all night, then this morning they just stopped. So frustrating!

Him, I have started timing at night and instead try to see if changing position and eating and drinking makes
Them stop so I can sleep and it is almost always a Braxton hicks that was pushing on gas bubbles or something.

I'm with you!! After 4 hours of having contracting every 7-8 mins lasting 45 secs to 1 min they completely stopped!! What the hell

Same here.i decided I'll only time when it feels like it just happened.

I'm horrible at timing mine. I am just hoping that if I do go into labor I'll feel the similar pain I did with my first. That the contractions were so incredibly strong it took my breath away and I would curl into a ball on the floor. If I'm not doing that, then my guess is its not real labor for me at least. Haha

Timing them was useless for me as well. Through the 2 days of labor before I was admitted every time I would time them they would be 3-5 mins apart, we would go in, and they would slow to 6-9 mins apart by the time I got hooked up to the machine and I would get sent home.

So glad to hear I'm not the only one! 5 mins apart for over an hour yesterday morning. Got everything ready and took a shower. Nope! Slowed down and baby is staying put. Ugh!!!
