If you are 38 weeks and have been having irregular contractions 10-15 mins apart from 730 last night to 2pm today - part of mucus plug lost but no blood these are painful contractions - is it time?

You should call your doctor ASAP!! Good luck and God Bless:)


If you are 38 weeks and have been having irregular contractions 30-45mins apart are you progressing into real labor?

Maybe.. wait and see if something pops out.


I am 35 weeks into the pregnancy. I was having regular and painful contractions 3 to 5 minutes apart for 6 hours when they stopped. What is happening?

You could be having what they call braxton hicks contractions...this is your uterus preparing for your baby to be born...Congrats on your pregnancy! Or you could be going in to Labor!


What are fake contractions called?

There are no "fake contractions," except when women pretend to be in labor. There is false labor, which is contractions (usually mild and irregular) which do not change the cervix. (Labor is defined as progressive change--dilation and effacement--of the cervix.) Braxton Hicks contractions are real contractions, but very irregular. They can occur any time after 32 weeks of pregnancy, and are usually no more than 2 to 3 an hour.


You are 29 weeks and 4 days pregnant and your stomach is tightening what are these?

Sounds like Braxton Hicks contractions. Not to worry, they are "practice" contractions. If they get painful, call the doc right away.


You are 35 weeks and having contractions will your baby be ok?

If you aren't yet 37 weeks (full term) and having labor symptoms, you need to contact your Doctor!


Pink Gooey discharge 40 weeks pregnant?

Maybe a "show" where you are losing the mucus plug that has been in your cervix until this point. If you are also having contractions, labour is on its way. If you are not having contractions, labour may still be a few days (or weeks, but at 40 weeks probably not) away.


Will labor start soon if I am 37 weeks 2cm dilated station 0 and having lots of irregular contractions or can I still have a couple weeks to go?

There is really no straight answer for that. Your baby is fully engaged, but that doesn't necessarily mean labor is imminent. It does mean that your body is getting ready though. Good luck!


You are 38 weeks pregnant and having on and off contractions what can you do?

Go and see your doctor or midwife now. The baby is probably early


Not having contration at 37 weeks of your pregnancy is normal?

Yes, its normal not to have contractions yet. 37 weeks is considered "full term" but a full term pregnancy is 37-42 weeks.


If my wife starts having contractions at home, should I call an ambulance?

Contractions can start two weeks before the due date to two weeks after. Contractions are only the first steps you should contact your physician to determine how far apart they are and what the next steps are. Yes, you should definitely call an ambulance. Contractions can lead to labor so you shouldn't take them in a non serious manner.
