Contractions...need quick answers please
What do contractions generally feel like?
I have had them in the past, but they were very mild. Kind of like slightly painful Braxton Hicks.
Since a little before 11, I have been getting these shooting pains in my back and pressure in my pelvic region. When I went to the dr. on Thursday I was not dilated or anything. I don't know if I am just experiencing back pains or contractions. These shooting pains have been between 5 and 10 minutes apart, but not follwing any strict schedule. When the shooting pain stops, my back still hurts but definately not as bad. The pain last for about a minute, sometimes two.
I would call my mom and ask her but don't want to get her worried or excited if it is nothing.
Sorry so long. All opinions are much apprciated. TIA

Re: Contractions...need quick answers please
to me it felt like unbearable cramps. they would come on strong and then simmer off. everything tightened then would relax. I didn't experience any back labor so I don't know what that's like.
Good Luck!

This sounds like it could be it. I would definitely call your OB and see what they say to do.

Re: Contractions...need quick answers please
Those sound like contractions... aren't you a bit early though? If you can walk them off (meaning they stop coming) it might be false labor but definitely call your OB.

Re: Contractions...need quick answers please
If you can't get comfortable at all during them, its real contractions. If this is it you will definitely know
