If I wind up like you it's going to drive me nuts. I hate not knowing what's going on with things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1418078 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:00:35 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1418078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: I'm so sorry lady - that's so frustrating. I had nightly contractions - 7-8 minutes apart for 4 hours - for two weeks before LO came. I know how much it sucks!!<br /> Think of it this way. The very latest ANYONE will let you go is 42 weeks. So...you know this will all be over in three weeks or less ;). I'm sure that's not helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417640 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 11:26:25 +0000 artsyfartsy 1417640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It went away. Someone please shoot me. I CANNOT take anymore false labor. I don't care if you tell me I won't have this baby for 3 more weeks...I will take being pregnant as long as I need to, as long as I knew WHEN it's going to be over. I can't trust my body not to trick me!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417394 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:29:40 +0000 cascademom 1417394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: I really didn't have false labor, so that I'm not versed in. Labor pains are the real deal where you stop what you're doing to get through it by breathing or wincing. I had one when we were a few blocks away from the hospital at Michigan Avenue. I remember holding onto the car and looking at a bus full of people in so much pain. It took another half hour until I was admitted in triage. That's what real labor is like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417349 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:19:16 +0000 kjpugs 1417349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt like that on Sunday- no REAL contractions but just felt kind of crampy in general. Woke up Monday to nice little contractions about an hour apart, by 6pm we were en route to the hospital. I never had BH though so it was easy to tell it was real contractions. Hope this is early labor for you! Oh man I was so miserable I would have KILLED to go around 39 weeks!!!!!!!!! (had her the day after my due date!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417327 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:11:45 +0000 artsyfartsy 1417327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Lol thanks!

By the time I got home, I had a fair amount of loose stool before the contractions picked up. I'm guessing early labor too. Honestly, I didn't think too much of it because I was at work and it wasn't too painful. By the time we left for the hospital, they were bad, then I knew that I was in labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417299 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:05:59 +0000 luckypenny 1417299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it's really time, you'll know :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417291 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:03:18 +0000 artsyfartsy 1417291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Oh I hope so!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417290 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:03:00 +0000 artsyfartsy 1417290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Gah!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417289 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:02:46 +0000 regberadaisy 1417289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: oh, ok.

I think you're in early labor momma!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417284 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:01:56 +0000 artsyfartsy 1417284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Oh yeah I've got that whole constant pressure thing. Lol my baby feels like he's going to fall out on his own!</p> <p>This feels different though...or is alongside that pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417280 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:01:05 +0000 artsyfartsy 1417280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Mine don't seem to stop! Constant ache and crampiness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417278 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:00:55 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1417278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I wasn't having contractions that I noticed but my hips &amp; lower back were achy &amp; I had loose stool. I found out I was in labor when I was sent to the hospital to be monitored for pre-E (at 38 weeks) &amp; when they put the monitor on my belly is was showing lots &amp; lots of contractions. Turns out, I had been in early labor for 3 days!! You very well may be in labor but you may still have to wait a while longer...I hope for your sake you won't have to wait long!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417274 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:00:00 +0000 regberadaisy 1417274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you time those "crampy" feelings?</p> <p>My labor started as intense menstrual like cramps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417273 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:59:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 1417273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started with what felt like menstrual cramps, but they came and went. It was the fact that they kept starting and stopping that clued me in that it was labor, not just crampiness, but it was hours before they even got as painful as the worst period cramps I've have. I was in early labor for almost 12 hours I think-- started at 6:30 am, but it wasn't until late afternoon that I even had to 'work through' the contractions. </p> <p>Lots of loose BMs-- it was really annoying. I remember being annoyed that I had to keep washing my hands after using the bathroom because they were so dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417272 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:59:27 +0000 Adira 1417272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was having BHs, but no real contractions at that point. All through 38 weeks though, I had this constant pressure and felt like I needed to have a bowel movement that just would not happen. It was so uncomfortable! And then I started having contractions and went into labor at 39 weeks. So you're probably getting close now!!! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-laborhelp-me-out#post-1417249 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:55:28 +0000 artsyfartsy 1417249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 38 weeks 5 days and impatiently waiting to meet my baby. </p> <p>What did it feel like for you? I've had contractions almost constantly since 34 weeks...but this morning I've got a constant crampy feeling in my lower abdomen and achey lower back. I had one contraction earlier but it felt like a BH. </p> <p>Is it possible that I'm in early labor? Crampy feelings but no contractions? Also still having loose BMs and diarrhea. Two days straight now. :/</p> <p>I don't know how to pregnancy. </p>
