Hi all,

My EDD is 1 Oct 09 (i.e. next week). I got my very first cramp (contraction?) at about 2a.m. on 23 Sept, i.e midnight. After that got bleeding at about 8am (about 6 hours later).....

I called my gynae then he asked me to go and see him immediately. So I went to see my gynae yesterday (i.e. abt 11am on 23 Sept, about 9 hrs after the very first cramp). He checked my vagina. No dilation yet. The cervix is just soft only. Then he asked me to go home to wait for the 5-min-interval-pain then go to hospital. (He mentioned to me before that, some people may experience 5-min-interval-pain 1 to 4 days after the very first bleeding)

Till now, it's been more than 24 hours but the 5-min-interval-pain still has not happened yet. However, there are some irregular contractions in between.....about 2 to 3 times within an hour....

I think it is a bit too slow.......Is this normal? I find it too...slow.....and keep waiting is quite torturing.

Is there anyone experience this before?

Normal la.. cos is ur 1st 1 rite.. dialtion can take very long by days or weeks.. So like ur doc say wait till u see systoms like water bag burst, got SHOW or contractions interval abt 5min pain den admit.

For my advice 20min interval can go hosp already.. In case u cant make it there in time

Hi Lonerjas, Thanks. I have given birth on 26 September 09. I was admitted to TMC when I had 20-min-interval-contraction. Yeah, it took me 3 days to dilate 3cm! My goodness. Yeah, this is my first baby....Hopefully the next one is much easier......

the real contraction will get more painful and stronger and when you time it it's in regular interval, it will not subside and the timing get closer. BH only happen few times in a day usually not painful, just slight cramps with tightening on uterus.

Woofy, braxton hicks start to attack me about 9pm.

Wake up at the midnight about 3am because tummy too pain and got urge to pee.

Start to count the time interval is about 15-20mins.

Can't fall on sleep until 5am because notice that my tummy getting more painful.

Got urge to poo around 6am, and my waterbag is leaking..

By the time reach to hospital to wait dilation about 10cm is about 1pm..

So, my contraction is about 10hrs.. :001_302:
