However, once I started to feel the early contractions, I remember making the comment that I probably wouldn't have known that they were contractions if they were happening naturally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-have-bh#post-1334341 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 00:42:58 +0000 Zbug 1334341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BH felt nothing like period cramps. Once the period cramps started though, LO was on her way. Sounds promising! Best of luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-have-bh#post-1334338 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 00:40:06 +0000 wheres_c 1334338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-have-bh#post-1334337 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 00:39:31 +0000 wheres_c 1334337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had BH....at 39 weeks had period type cramps, about 6 hours later my water broke! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-have-bh#post-1333942 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:02:23 +0000 sandy 1333942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have BH. I went into labor early in the morning (like 3am)...the cramping was so uncomfortable and I couldn't sleep and the cramping just wouldn't go away. Like everyone said the cramping would come in waves and I started timing them...and the interval between the cramping got shorter...I think we left for the hospital when they were 4 minutes apart which was around 7am </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-have-bh#post-1333920 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:55:08 +0000 Ree723 1333920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DD I never had any BH. The day before my due date, I noticed some super mild cramps but didn't think anything of them. I was sure they weren't contractions as I barely noticed them if I wasn't actively paying attention. My mom suggested I time them to see if there was a pattern and sure enough, they were roughly 14 minutes apart. They kept up with that frequency and started getting a tiny bit stronger a few hours later. I was woken up very early the next morning with proper contractions and it was real labour! DD arrived that night!</p> <p>I'd time them to see if there's any kind of a pattern but yes, contractions generally do start out feeling like mild period cramps. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-have-bh#post-1333919 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:54:55 +0000 lawbee11 1333919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was apparently having BH but couldn't feel them. I could tell when I started having real contractions because they came in waves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-have-bh#post-1333885 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:49:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 1333885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few short bouts of contractions in the week leading up, but very rarely had BH. I could tell when I started having real contractions, but they felt like menstrual cramps for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-have-bh#post-1333861 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:46:12 +0000 MrsH 1333861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you tell right away you were having contractions when you did go into labor?</p> <p>I'm 39 weeks, no BH and I've had a couple of intense period like cramps. Just wondering if I'm having contractions as I literally have no idea what contractions feel like. </p>
