no, I am 37w 2 days and I'm 80% effaced and 1 cm and they don't think I'll go into actually labor for at least another week if not more. your contractions are just getting your cervix ready for actual labor.
Sure it can do whatever it wants to! A woman can get aroused enough from kissing alone to have contractions in her vagina, or even orgasm.
eukaryot unicellular size 10 to 52 micrometers but can be large to 1 milimeter but xenophyophores are protozoa of size 20 centimeter having plant like behaviour of photosynthesis
a water birth is more soothing because the water is warm. it helps you relax and take deeper breaths which make the contractions less painfull. if you are having a baby, good luck :)
It depends...if somebody else has a bigger circle than you do it might be a little embarrassing if you showed yours around them. Then again having a small circle is nothing to be ashamed of.
It is approximately 2/5 the size of the inch mark. It contains 10 close markings (mm) and 100cm make up 1 metre. A ruler over in ireland anyway usually comes as 30cm size, with some having 15cm
Shouldn't you be in a hospital and not asking this question here?
If your contractions are three min. apart then you probably already are in labor especially if you are already dilated and 80% effaced. If the contractions aren't regular then you aren't in labor but if it turns out that your not then you will most likely be going into labor really soon.
The baby probably isn't ready yet. Where I went to the hospital if you were 5cm dialated they would keep you and induce labor. you can be zero dilated and be in labor. As soon as your muscles start contracting you are in labor and have pains.
You are already in the first stages of labor. It could become hard labor in a matter of minutes or days. Keep a close eye on things and get to the clinic or hospital (or call your doctor or midwife if you are having a home birth) as soon as thigns begin to change.
normally is 5 mins, but you can go eairler depending on what your doctor says and if your water has broke, also it depends on how far you are Dilated.
Yes, however, on tv you have a contraction & you go to the hospital & the baby is born. With all of my babies, i had back pain & contractions for weeks before they were so painful i could not stand it (active labor- 4 to 8 cm dilated). So if the pain is not bothering you, you are probably having contractions & your body is gearing up to go into heavy, active labor soon!
Your IUD may be coming out. Avoid unprotected sex until you confirm with your health care provider that the IUD is still in place.
It is definitely possible to have some uterine activity and not feel or notice it at all. Your mucus plug regenerates until you give birth. It just sounds like your body may be preparing for labor and delivery but there is no tell-tale sign when you'll deliver such as how much you are dilated or how much of your plug you are losing.
Have you spoken to your doctor, obstetrician or midwife about this yet? If not, I really advice phoning them or going to the hospital because your contractions are pretty close together. It is possible that these could still be Braxton Hicks contractions. But they could be the start of labour. It's important to get checked out.
i would say not long at all!!!!!!!!so hurry up and get to the hospital girl.... my water didnt break until i got ther and it was 2hr later my son was born.. are you having contractions?
Both are painless for the most part.
no thyroid uptake is a painless procedure
