View Full Version : Contractions...? inmansgirl06 02-22-2008, 09:47 PM Ok, so obviously i dont really know what contractions feel like, or at least I dont think i do. Anyways, for the past couple hours my belly gets like really hard and stiff, and then relaxes, doesnt hurt, is uncomfortable, but doesnt hurt. Ive had maybe 2 or 3 bad cramps where it felt like diareaha(sp) cramps, so i thought i had to poo....but i didnt....so I really dont know what to do.....:confuzzle Dani 02-22-2008, 09:49 PM Sounds like you are having braxton hicks (practice contractions)... how far apart are they? inmansgirl06 02-22-2008, 09:50 PM they are like 8-10 mins apart Devinn 02-22-2008, 09:50 PM Sounds like Braxton Hicks.... drink 2 large glasses of water and go lay down on your left side....see if they subside. If they don't, and start to become regular (regular AT ALL...NO MATTER IF ITS 20 MINUTES OR 10) & painful....go to the ER. Corenn 02-22-2008, 09:52 PM Sounds like you are having braxton hicks (practice contractions)... how far apart are they? i was thinkin the same thing..oh and do you only get them when you're stationary or no matter what you're doing?? and is the baby moving?? inmansgirl06 02-22-2008, 09:55 PM it doesnt matter what im doing, they are a lil worse when im standing or walking, but they deffinetly dont go away while sitting down......and as far as her moving, yes, and she wont stop kicking my ribs! If i was getting cramps i would be in L&D right now, but since im not crampy or anything, just feel really tight/hard i dont know what to do....

If i was getting cramps i would be in L&D right now, but since im not crampy or anything, just feel really tight/hard i dont know what to do.... It concerns me that they won't stop...no matter if they are painful or not. I say go to the ER. Just to be on the safe side.
