I've had 8 contractions within the last hour. Typically speaking, how much time goes by before they start getting worse?? They've pretty much stayed the same, I can feel them but not too uncomfortable.

That's a pretty good start are they spaced out coming regular? When you went to the doctor today did they say you had dilated or anything? I was induced with my girls so I probably could not give an accurate time but with me when I started having contractions it was only a couple hours and I could feel them pretty strong. Good Luck and I really hope you go before Tuesday. Tonight would be good, right? LOL

My water had to break before my contractions got worse. Good luck!

Well, I'm still here. This is getting annoying.

She didn't check me for diliation or anything this time because we scheduled the c-section. I wish now she had, just for fun! LOL

8 in an hour? How far apart are they? (Are they coming in regular intervals, how long do they last?)

By My2cuties on Thursday, April 28, 2005 - 11:50 am:

Yeah now I am curious...are you still having contractions?

By Kolbysmom on Thursday, April 28, 2005 - 12:05 pm:

They were coming at every 6-7 minutes. They would last for 60-90 seconds(about).

I'm still having them although I haven't timed them today any. They're not really hurting much or getting worse. It's weird.

I'm starting to think my body doesn't know what's going on or what to do!!!

Have you lost your mucus plug or had any spotting? I would think that every 6-7 minutes lasting for that length of time would have me calling the doctor. When mine got to every 5 minutes & lasting that long I was told to go to the hospital. That could be because I was trying to do a VBAC (that didn't work).

By My2cuties on Thursday, April 28, 2005 - 02:58 pm:

Well time them girlie! You know I am just as anxious about you having the baby as I am about me having mine. LOL

By Kolbysmom on Thursday, April 28, 2005 - 06:17 pm:

Well, for 2 hours they were anywhere from 4-10 minutes apart. Not very consistant. They don't really hurt either. Although, the pressure at times made me fell like I was going to throw up. Strange.

One a good note(well, according to my mom and aunts), I have a TON of energy and have been cleaning up a storm today!!!

Candis, how are you feeling???

I am good. I went for a walk. On that post about the pressure points it says there is a place on your arm that you can press that helps with being sick. Here's hoping she comes this weekend for you!
