    No, if you're feeling the urge to push, then I'd say you're most likely in labor. I felt the urge to push when I was only 6 centimeters with my son. The dr explained that I was feeling the baby descend through the birth canal. So I would bet you're in labor. Get to the hospital and good luck! :)

    It has occurred to me, yet i change into in not common artwork on the time. have you ever began timing the frequency of this sense yet? i'd pass ahead and initiate holding music basically in case. it would properly be Braxton Hicks contractions(which in my case were given worse because the weeks higher). Braxton Hicks also do not harm so if you're having the tightening, the urge to push AND the discomfort(regardless of the actual shown truth that it would properly be mild) i'd save music...write down the time each and each and every time you've those 'contractions'. also i'd provide the health practitioner a hoop basically to be danger-free. if you're having 'contractions' continually...especially in the adventure that they are less than quarter-hour aside you want to call your record asap. would properly be not common artwork time! solid success!

    Not really. At least I never did. Braxton Hicks are different from regular contractions because although they are very uncomfortable and you feel like you don't want to move because everything is tight... they are not really PAINFUL. A regular contraction will feel tight and painful. It may be a long time since you've had a menstrual cramp, but is kind of like that.

    not at all, atleast not in my case. the only time during my pregnancy i ever had an urge to push was a) i was taking a real poop or b) i felt like i was gonna take a poop but it was actually my baby ready to come out. call someone!

    yeah the only time i felt like i had to push was when i was actually in labor. or right when i was starting real labor.... maybe those are contractions..... does it hurt when they come or no?
