How can you be 4 and a half cm dilated effaced and in active labor but not be feeling any severely intense labor contractions?

Because you are very lucky! All women are different. Some dilate to higher numbers and 100% effaced and don't feel a thing. Just luck of the draw. It doesn't mean anything is wrong or that the labor will be better or worse in later stages. It just means that you are having a very easy labor up to now.
i had 5 kids and my labour all were diffnert.u can be in labour and not fell much pain at all. i know women had only bad pain for three hours then baby was born.

36 weeks pregnant and 2 cm dilated with a feeling like the baby is sitting on your bladder?
This is normal! However, once you become 7 cm dilated is time to get to the hospital. Even if your water breaks you don't have to go to the hospital until your contractions are 5-7 minutes apart.
Does Prozac cause dilated pupils?
I take Prozac for the last month and when I started feeling the drug about a week ago my pupils are very dilated after I take it.

Should be right after, since normally water breaks after you feeling contractions in minutes apart as sign of early labor phase

What is the treatment for hydatidiform mole?
a woman is given an anesthetic (to deaden feeling during the procedure), her cervix (the structure at the bottom of the uterus) is dilated and the contents of the uterus is gently suctioned out.
Been having a lot of mild contractions 38 weeks pregnant is labor soon?
What you are experiencing is called Braxton-Hicks contractions. It is perfectly normal. It is the body's way of "practicing" for the real thing. As long as there is no constant pressure on the floor of the pelvis or discharge of blood or liquid, the mild contractions you are feeling is not a threat. Your baby will be born when he or she is ready. The B-H contractions do not mean labor will begin any sooner than is proper.
How can you induce labor if you're 37 weeks 2 days and 3 cm dilated 40 effaced and the baby's head is sitting at -2 right on your cervix and you literally are bowlegged with his head?
You can try nipple stimulation and raspberry leaf tea, but don't worry it will happen eventually. If he is at -2 he is not sitting directly on your cervix but is farther up in your uterus. The bowlegged feeling is normal at the end of a pregnancy from the dilation of your cervix and the stretching of the ligaments, so don't worry he's not really right between your legs!
Why is your chest fluttering and feeling tight?

You are 35 weeks pregnant with your third baby and you want to be induced you are not sleeping well and you have really bad hip and back pain can you be induced?
I'm 39 weeks prego with my third child and I'm feeling the same way! But i think it is all up to the doc. My doc won;t induce until my cervix is effaced. I've been havng regular contractions for 6 days and my cervix still hasn't started to efface and he still wont induce.....So I guess just talk to your doc.
Is it normal to have braxton hicks contractions early as four mths during pregnancy?
According to my midwife today, yes it is. I'm 14 weeks and have been feeling BH for a few days now. This is my second child.
Is it true braxton hicks contractions are the first true labor pains?
Braxton Hicks contractions can occur far before labor actually begins, though sometimes they might occur shortly before a woman goes into labor. The first "true" labor sensations can be anything from crampiness to "full blown" contractions to losing one's mucous plug to having bloody show to experiencing loose stool or to feeling one's water break.
