can you feel braxton hicks in your back?
Q. I have been having contractions for weeks, almost all day just at random times. Today they are in my back too, I thought only real contractions could be felt in your back, not BH. Last night I had to go to L&D because the baby had not been moving around, but they said everything was fine, however contractions were showing on the monitor. Do Braxton Hicks show on the the monitor too?
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!
A. Time them for an hour, if they're occurring consistently and lasting about 1 minute in duration, then they might be real labor. After timing them call your doctor for advice.
You can do some things to help labor along. Remember to drink plenty of water to prevent labor stalls and slow labor. Walk alot, rotate your hips slowly while standing, do squats while holding on to something sturdy to help you balance and get some good rest too if you can. Walking alot will allow gravity to help speed your labor, hip rotations and squats will help your pelvis to open and make it easier for the baby to transition to the birth canal.
Here's a link to a great article to help you determine if you're in Pre-Labor ore Early Labor:

To time your contractions:
Write down the starting time when your stomach tightens.
Then write down the time it stops. (How long was the contraction)
Doctors will ask you how close your contractions (from beginning of 1st contraction to the beginning of the next contraction) are and how long they are lasting.
Or if you're near the computer (or have an iPhone), use this:

Time your contractions for 1 hour, are they consistent?
Remember 5-1-1, Contractions every 5 minutes, lasting 1 minute in duration consistently for 1 hour. Then it's time to call the doctor and head to the hospital.
Active labor will grow stronger and more frequent over time (each contraction lasting about 1 minute in duration).
Hope this helps!
Best Wishes & Congratulations!

38 weeks prego and regular contractions but no progressive dilation?
Q. i'm almost 38 weeks prego and i woke up last night with awful cramps and they kept getting worse so i called my dr when they opened and they said to come in so i did and they had me on the monitor and it showed me having ALOT of regular contraction (like 6 within 20 mins) but my cervix is still only at 1 cm. does anyone know whats going on? according to the monitor, im in labor but my cervix says otherwise. any answers are appreciated! thanks!
A. Sounds like early labor. There are some things you can do to help labor along. Be sure to drink plenty of water to prevent slow or stalled labor. Walk alot to allow gravity to help things progress. Squats and slow hip rotations will open your pelvis and make it easier for the baby to transition to the birth canal.
Here's a really great article about pre-labor and early labor that may help you:

I would time your contractions for at least one hour. Then call your Doctor with the information from that 1 hour of timing and all your symtoms you've had.

How to make a Video baby monitor?
Q. Can someone please tell me how to make a video baby monitor? The only problem is i dont have any fancy gadgets, like an iphone or ipad or ianything! lol.
i have an extra laptop and i have an old webcam. could this work to make a video baby monitor??
i want to be able to connect to it somehow from my laptop that iam currently using, like skyp or something??
Iam very bad with computers lol
I understand what your saying and thats why i dont want to spend any money on this. But if i can figure out a way to do it with stuff i have laying around i would like to see him, and not have to sneak into his room to see him. ( because yes i will be going in to look at him, i have from day one and i dont think that will stop for quiet awhile)

A. I can't help you with any of the technical stuff, but I wanted to say that video baby monitors are quite useless. Its one of those baby items that is totally unnecessary.
What's important is that you *hear* your baby wake up and cry for you. Its not important to *see* your baby - after all, you will be very, VERY tired yourself. Its not like you'll be up all night watching your baby sleep.
