8 more sleeps to go

Last time a bath didn't get rid of them but they stopped on there own 36 hours after they started. They were every 10 minutes from the start byt they never got stronger than 40 seconds long. My body was totally exhused and ached for two days after.

Today they just seem to be hanging in the background, can't really feel a pattern yet so not really paying any attention to them.]]> Sun, 20 Apr 2008 14:27:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16508&PID=361007&title=contractions#361007 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16508&PID=360966&title=contractions#360966 Author: Rachael21

If you have a rest/bath and they go away its false, if you have a rest/bath and they get worse chances are this is it.

How much longer until the elective?]]> Sun, 20 Apr 2008 13:42:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16508&PID=360966&title=contractions#360966 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16508&PID=360816&title=contractions#360816 Author: aimeejoy

I would try and relax until they became more intense/frequent and you arent comfy anymore - save your energy for when it really matters! Although, if you are having a caesar I'd ring your midwife.

Yeah that's me :-)

My midwife doesn't want to see me until contractions are lasting longer than 40 seconds due to the hospital being full and what I could be feeling could be false labour due to the fact she believes my baby is to big to decend down to cause "real" labour.

I'm not having anything regular but yesterday was random ones every now and then... this morning I can feel something is going on and not sure weather to encourage it or not... we normally go for a walk on Sundays.]]> Sun, 20 Apr 2008 10:00:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16508&PID=360812&title=contractions#360812 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16508&PID=360810&title=contractions#360810 Author: jack_&_charli

sit down and try to relax and see what happens. when i was in early labour, i was having tightenings/cramps, every hour on the hour. that went on for about 8hrs then started getting more frequent

your having an elective c/s aren't you? i may have remembered wrong so forgive me if i have. if you are having frequent 'contractions' i'd give the m/w a call and let her know]]> Sun, 20 Apr 2008 09:54:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16508&PID=360810&title=contractions#360810 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16508&PID=360795&title=contractions#360795 Author: mum2emj

Just a quick questions, when your impending labour, 38 weeks plus and you feel like your body is starting to show signs of contractions, What do you do? Do you help it along to try and increase the contractions? Do you sit down and relax and just see what will happen?]]> Sun, 20 Apr 2008 09:08:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16508&PID=360789&title=contractions#360789
