When do the painful contractions appear?

Got my cervix checked today and I’m still 1cm dilated.. baby boy is still head down…stop my progesterone on Thursday so hopefully we get the ball rolling. This mama is tired and in pain. I was literally having a contraction while my doctor was checking me 😩

Does a contraction go through your back to your stomach???? Cause I got some odd pain going on

So being a first time mommy I heard getting a epidural is something most moms get to help with contraction pain but then again.. It can have long term back pain affects afterwards what are yall thoughts?

I got induced with misoprostol took it Vaginal my total labor was 5/ hours and a half I was 2 cm when I got to the hospital was already having contraction pains ones they gave me the misoprostol the real pain started coming in I kept walking doing squats rotating hips then I went into 9cm that’s when I decided to do epidural I couldn’t take the pain 😩😩 but epidural hurts as well goodness I love my son but Labor it’s hard work 😓 had him vaginal I’m so proud of myself that I was able to push him out I kept trying to give up but did it  us women are capable of anything Wishon all the mommies there are about to go to labor good luck just try to stay as much active as you can .. 🙌🏽 6 lbs. 10 oz. 18 inches long  Good thing I had a small baby I’m so Happy and in Love 😍

Woke up with super painful contractions... or at least I think that was a contraction. Stomach super hard and shooting pain put me in tears 😢 How do I know if Braxton hicks or not? I'm 33 weeks, I'll be 34 weeks Monday

The past 4 days my mucus plug has been falling out in pieces & today a really big piece came out yesterday & this morning. I've had one bad contraction & a few minor ones along with lower back pain. But that's not what's bothering me today. It's all the pressure in my 😺. Idk if its cuz its twins, but it kinda hurts. Like it feels like someone took a hammer & hit it one good time. Its uncomfortable to walk or get up too fast.

Anyone else experienced a chemical ‘pregnancy’? It’s when all tests come back positive/ you feel the symptoms but then around 5/6 wks hcg levels show up super low and a home test shows not pregnant. There’s no pain or ‘contraction’ like in a miscarriage that’s been further along bc the embryo stopped forming very early on. Just had light bleeding for about two days and then it stopped. #miscarriageconcerns #chemicalpregnancy #yourenotalone #5weeks

Man when I tell y'all that constipation pain had me in here sweating like it was a damn contraction whewww Chile I swear I ain't think I was gonna make it

For the past 4 days I’ve had this unbearable ache on my left side and in my lower back on and off. Today the pain was constant all day. And it feels worse when I’m having a Braxton hicks contraction. My side and lower uterus feel so heavy and sore. Am I having contractions or is this just round ligament pain?

#twins what the heck is this!? 32 weeks and having right side pain like a contraction but it's relentless. Not a pause in sight for an hour. It's horrible. I've had 3 kids and never once was it like this.
