and having little pains that feel like how you would usually feel when your about to start your period but not enough pain to take any medication. so will these pains get stronger? if so when do you think? and since my membranes got stripped what should usually happen next like how fast? and how can i make these pains or contractions come strong enough to go into the hospital.

the pain is so minor its like no big deal right now but its still there as period cramps. so is this the start of true labor? or can/will this go away? isnt this pain the stretching or your cervix?

Your starting to go into labour,m early stages. Good luck. Keep upright, walk around as much as you can, this really does work and speeds things up. Keep busy basically. Thats all you can do. As for a time scale, you cant say, everyone is different. I would say it depends if this is your first baby, as if it is not things can speed up quickly, but if your asking it must be your first. What I did was to right down when you get these little pains, right how long then last for, and how often they come, even though they are small. And if its feels stronger than the last one. Then you can see for your self whats going on. Also I would not suggest going to hospital until they are 5 mins apart and strong, as times seems to pass more slowly in hospital. I wish you all the luck in the world, you will soon be holding your baby!!!x

I know I'm a man but have 3 children and was very involved. 1st All women have contractions differently depending on where the pressure lies for instance my ex wife felt hardly none because alot of the pressure was on her spine for the 1st child and our second she had contractions which literally stood her up from a sitting position. My current wife had no contractions until she was in full labor so it really does vary. As far as time all i can tell you is be prepared. Walking can help as well as stimulating nerve endings and doctors have even suggested various styles of intercourse(including self intercourse) to speed things along but with you having membranes stripped i am not sure that is a good idea.

hi there, i had my membranes done with my last baby and yes the pains you are having are contractions!!!! you can go to the hospital at any time you want now.. once your start dilating the pains will get stronger but just like a normal labour..if you aren't too keen going to the hospital now just go when the pain gets worst.. they could come fast or slow.. my last labour when i had that done went for 12 hrs.. my first labour went for 36 hrs.. so good luck.. just lay down and rest... congrats

nicely, you comprehend we gained't assure something at here. no you will permit you comprehend. yet your midwife looked overjoyed so pass with what she pronounced. whether it would not artwork, at 40-one+2, 3-4cm dilated and extremely skinny cervix, you're relatively probable to pass into labour via your self interior the next day or 2 besides.

Stimulating your nipples will cause you to contract which causes you to dilate. That may help it come on quicker
