and all the stories about menses pain x1000 or x100,it's ridiculous... X4 i would say depending on your menses cramp.My menses cramp was 40-50,so i was used to painful periods every mth...Oh and ya, keep talking to the nurse during the contraction...ask questions whats the max contraction, is it normal fr this and that, just try to ask questions about the labour,but don't talk to hubby, you'll Feel pain because you'll tend to be a crybaby and end up epidural.
I was put on the monitoring thing too today to measure contractions and the highest it went was 50+. Just felt tight no pain... Hopefully I can endure like u when my real labour contractions come!

I remembered mine was a thick but small discharge like phlegm,only come out once.1cm kind... It really looks like our usual discharge. To all mummies here who are waiting anxiously,I dont have any blood,mucous,nor water bag burst. No sign. Just contraction of 1min to 30 seconds apart and the pain is really mild. But from 2cm i suppose it was hell up to 4cm...my early labour was painful,then supposingly gt intense,but i gt used to it i feel so good for every max contraction(max 126-128)...because the monitor shows number increasing,so i know another one coming so i was in controlled and mentally prepared. Partly, mine was 126 all the way hence the fast labour.TIPS: Deep breathingLook at the monitor(altho nurse scold,heck care)Hold yr hubby arms for every MAX contractionRemember, max 120plus,thats the intense one. Usual menses 40-50...66 quite pain.But once 100 ,66 felt nthg.Ypu'll be surprised that some of you here won't nd an epidural.
A Mummy, I'm 3cm dilated, check at 1pm. No painful contraction until now just mild period like cramp :( quite worried that I'm not aware of the dilation and end up giving birth at home.... Sigh... Mentally stress T_T

Ladies, may i know how the gynae checked for dilation? Was it an internal examination? Did it hurt? And did anyone's gynae do a membrane sweep to speed things up?

EEKS! I'm at the hospital now being monitored. Had contractions from 4am and it started being more regular at every 5 min.

I cannot decide if I should pray that this is the real thing or false alarm. Cos it really hurts. Cannot imagine another few weeks of this. But at the same time, like not ready for birth!!!

My gynae didn't mention membrane sweep, so I supposed she didn't do that? Only told me no dilation yet, and not painful for me. Membrane sweep is to speed up on set of labour right?

Is this your first time delivery? If so, you should have enought time to hospital when you feel contraction at 10min interval.

Seems like today is the day! I'm 3cm dilated with contractions every 5 min. After doctor checked for dilation, i went to pee and wanted to eat cos super hungry. But i started bleeding in the toilet. Think it's from the internal check. So back to the bed.

Hope all goes fast and smooth. Update you all when I can.
