I am 37 weeks pregnant and having false labor. I know it's just preparing my body and I have been resting most of the day and just decided to make me a salad and drink some water and now I am have braxton hicks contractions every 5 minutes. Are there any suggestions? I am really annoyed that I am having them and I do not want to go to the hospital either just to get turned away.
View 3 RepliesI'm a ftm and I'm 34 weeks along and haven't had a Braxton hicks or regular contractions. There's a girl I work whose daughter is about the same along and she already 2 mins apart with contractions. I'm confused and concerned because I don't want to labor at home.
View 6 RepliesI'm 19 weeks and this has happened 5 times within the last week and a half. Shaky sweaty feel the need to push every few seconds can last up to 20 minutes. Feels like period cramps that makes me have to go to the bathroom. Started at 18 weeks and comes every few days. When it happens I am afraid I am having the baby early. Is this Braxton Hicks or should I talk to my Dr?
View 3 RepliesAt least once a day I get a pain that lasts between 20-30 seconds. It's a little painful and makes me stop whatever I'm doing and then im fine, someone suggested it was Braxton Hicks but do you really get them this early?
View 1 RepliesThis pregnancy is so different than my first. My baby moves ALL the time and I feel her kick a lot! Last night my belly felt tight on and off for awhile. It didn't hurt. It just felt uncomfortable. Is this braxton hicks or possibly baby moving around? is this normal? I'm not bleeding nor in any pain cept slight back pain. I'm probably just being paranoid.
View 2 RepliesI am 20 weeks today and have what you thought might be braxton hicks contractions. Has anyone else experienced this also?

View 5 RepliesThis is my second pregnancy and I don't remember having them so early during my first. I was thinking it was round ligament pain but I'm having second thoughts that they are braxton hicks from the tightness feeling and the release. I did some reading and suppose they can come as early as 20 weeks and earlier if this is not your first pregnancy. I'm not necessarily concerned just surprised getting them so early. I'll be 21 weeks tomorrow.

View 1 RepliesCan Braxton hicks cause back pain? I have been having back pain for probably almost 3 hours now and it keeps going away and coming back and the last time it came (probably 15 minutes ago) it was even more painful then the times before and I felt like I couldn't move ...
View 5 RepliesWhat has helped you ladies go into labour on your own? I'm literally due in 2 days (on the 9th) and was only dilated 1cm on Tuesday, I really don't want to go overdue or be induced. I've only been having Braxton hicks, no actual labour pains, it's so frustrating. I've done walking, and bouncing lightly on an exercise ball.

View 8 Replieswondering how reliable pregnancy tests are?
my boyfriend and I only had sex twice this month. my period ended on the 19th of feb. and I had unprotected sex on the 25th of Feb, and 4th of March, using the withdrawal method. my boyfriend generally pulls out a few seconds before he ejaculates. My boyfriend also smokes.
Over the past recent days I've been having minor, short cramping, but sometimes it feels like the pain moves up to my ribs? I'm pretty sure some of the cramping was caused from wind. I've been passing wind quite a bit the past 2 days and have experienced minor diarrhea, and some minor constipation today. I've also been peeing a bit more frequently but not sure if it's just me taking more notice and over thinking the situation (maybe I've been drinking more fluids) or if the amount I urinate is completely normal as usual? Only last night have I started to notice a slight rise in body temperature, and during the day today I felt like I had a few hot flushes, but at times I still feel physically cold. Around the 20th of Feb and so forth, I experienced creamy cervical mucus production, but as days went on it become less and less, now it appears that I hardly have any discharge at all? I do feel like I've been eating a bit more but it's hard to tell because I generally eat plenty anyways. Although, today I didn't feel like eating at all? Not sure if it was just stress though. Also, during the day today I experience some back pain - but this may have been from me sitting on a backless chair for three + hours? This may be unrelated but on the side note I've also been experiencing pain in my fingers, shoulders and other places around my body.
I have not experienced or noticed any other visible pregnancy symptoms so far. No morning sickness, no breast changes, no cravings, no spotting, no fatigue (in fact I've been feeling more awake than ever) etc.
My period is due in 2 or 3 days. I took a pregnancy test tonight, carefully following the instructions, and it came back as a negative.
Could I just be over-thinking and stressing about the situation, causing my mind to notice/believing I'm pregnant?
How reliable is a pregnancy test?
I had extreme preeclampsia with my daughter 6 years ago, so I took precaution on this pregnancy. I was watching my diet and trying to take it easy. But yet it seems the condition had not eluded me. I thought it wouldn't be quite so scary this time, since I knew more about it, but I was wrong. I'm not sure if it is because it was caught so much earlier since we were watching for it, I'm only 31 1/2 weeks, or what. Today I did the 24 hr urine test and tomorrow we'll get the results and then we go from there. Other than the preeclampsia, baby and I are doing great, which is why I'm hoping for the best tomorrow.
