I am having contractions that are strong, but don't hurt, they make me lose my breath though, and my doc knows i have been having them and I am not dialating. She said unless I can't walk through them then they aren't dialating me. Well, I can walk through them, although I don;t feel like doing so, could i still be dialating? And I am really bad out of breath even when i am laying down, wether I am having a contraction or not! Any one else with similar things?

Not sure, but I started out my labor with something similar. My mother came over and when she saw me bending over the counter when I was trying to blowdry my hair, she said, "You're in labor, honey."
My hubby drove me to the hospital and about 9 hours later I had my daughter.
Just give it a little more time, if it gets worse then you'll know you're really in labor.

They sound like Braxton hicks contractions. (SP?) They are getting your body ready for the actual labor. Nothing to worry about. If you are out of breath when laying down, you probably just have too much pressure on your lungs from the baby. Pile up some pillow so you are in a semi sitting position. Good luck and congrats on baby!

prob braxton hicks contractions. time them starting when the first one starts till the next one does and do it for a while. if they are getting closer together you should call your doc or even the hospital. if they are irratic then they are probably just braxton hicks which are just practice contractions. if you walk and they start to go away it is false labour if not keep an eye on how far apart they are. if you are really worried and you don't trust your doc go to the hospital and have them check you. even just for peace of mind.the last thing you need now is to worry, good luck
