That was a contraction????

So I went in for the second of my twice weekly NSTs today. After 20 minutes the nurse says the Dr wants to keep you in for a while longer. Then came back and was like, "you're not feeling the contractions? You're having one right now."

So, what I thought was him moving his head has really been contractions. I was sent home with orders to call the office if they pick up in intensity or frequency since they are already coming pretty regularly.


Ummm..... yeah.

Comment from sunshinebear711 » Posted Jul. 29, 2016 9:13am This is the second NST that they have told me about contractions (the last was 2-3 weeks ago) But I definitely thought he was just turning his head from side to side when the nurse brought it up. And I asked, "That isn't him moving?" and she said, "Nope. That's a contraction!" I had them with my daughter too, I guess, for about 12 hours or so before I actually started feeling anything at 3:30 in the morning and then she was born before 8am.... so... it is possible I guess. I'm still having them (or what I think they are), but I can't really feel them so I can't track them accurately.... :-/

Comment from blondeone12 » Posted Jul. 29, 2016 9:03am I had the same thing at one of my NSTs. I definitely noticed when he was ready to come though. I felt them then. Although i had a short labor, so perhaps i wasn't feeling them in the beginning.
