I am 36 weeks pregnant with my second child. With my first I had a c-section at 37 weeks, and never felt what a contraction was or had my water "brek". How do i know when i am really in labor, and when my water breaks?

Do not listen to some people...my water broke with 2 pregnancies & was a super slow trickle...not the movie style gush. If you notice a wet spot on your panties, change them & jump up & down once or twice if you have another spot, its most likely your water! And you need to go to L&D as most OBs do not want a women to go over 24 hours with water broke & not deliever. As for contractions to me they have always started in my back near my side, they wrap around to the tummy & your tummy tightens as this happens. Best of Luck & when in doubt go to the L&D floor at your hospital they can give you a quick check in triage that is what they are there for...Best wishes on a fast & easy Labor & delivery

Most women dont actually ever feel their water break anymore.. its pretty rare. It would be a rush of fluid.. its straw colored and has virtually no smell, or a salty smell. Contractions are a very painful version of a period cramp.. at least thats how I would describe them. They start twords the top of your abdomen and press downward.. for some women they are very very intense, intense enough to make you have to stop what you are doing and sit down or bend over... for other women, they are painfull, but not painfull enough to stop them from functioning regularly. When they are about 5 minutes between each contraction, thats the time to go to the hospital. Your water may not break, typically doctors have to do this once you arrive at the hospital.

You're in a simply proper function and a nasty place whilst. Just proper since you've got gotten a man who really likes you and in addition primarily likes who you're, and simply proper due to the fact that he is sincere plentiful to mean you can understand how he feels and why he can not ask you out. But. Unhealthy given that you wish to transport out iwth him and he isn't capable. But. This is a cruel humorous tale performed at the human race through mom nature, incidentally. Guys worry relationships and determination, the identical process ladies fear informal intercourse. This man has additionally seen what heartbreaks have applied to his sisters, and now he is primarily scared. Which you might nonetheless paintings with this even though. You would furnish an cause of to him that he's breaking your coronary center proper now by way of now not dating you, because you already feel that implies for him however can not have him as your boyfriend. He additionally wants to appreciate that the one hundred% assurance of now not hurting any one is never going to occur, and your breaking center is evidence of that proper now. He desires to realise that falling in love has a 90% chance of anguish, however it undoubtedly's nonetheless worth the hazard. Of direction you can not stress him, simply as no man can stress you into whatever. Possibly if you happen to present to meet him part of-process, he could agree. That you'll present to part of-cross out with him and nonetheless be associates. That works like this: you're nonetheless friends the entire time, nonetheless he's allowed to preserve alone with you. He is even allowed to hold your hand and cuddle (or anything you're each relaxed with) rather, conveniently to appear if it nevertheless scares him. If he is nonetheless no longer best with it after a couple of days, that you can go back to being peers and no difficult emotions. I feel as soon as he realizes that persons nevertheless keep friends while they are in love with every one-of-a-kind, and so much mainly even after, his worry will subside slightly bit. Note: conveniently don't take competencies of him. Only use this potential if that is the genuine factor, no longer if that's a few man whose coronary center you ought to holiday. The final individual who used my recommendation for evil was once a few man named Kim Jong-il, and he did it only a few weeks ago. How large is your navy?

You will know. A contraction just feels like really really bad menstrual cramps. When your water breaks you will be sitting/standing in a puddle.

When your contrax are coming regularly and pretty uncomfortable. They feel like menstral cramps, but come and go and are much worse. And I think if your water breaks, you'll know it!
