Can a 2 minute long contraction hurt the baby?

May 09, 2008

I had a contraction that was no joke two whole minutes long.. that can't hurt the baby by squeezing for too long or anything, can it?

It shouldn't the vast majority of the time so long as there's no bleeding associated with it..

Again, during my NST, I had a single contraction that lasted 8 mins +. It was coz the Dr hyperstimulating the uterus during an internal exam. No issues so far.

oh meghan!! the things you are going through!! i feel terrible for you... a 2 minute long contraction could NOT have felt good. how are you doing now? did you have it again?

Lol.. it was okay Oli.. it really wasn't that painful of a contraction.. just super long!!! I'm wishing for the painful ones know.. because when they come, I can go to the hospital.

I'm doing alright.. but I'll be doing better when I'm doubled over in pain and headed towards the car!!

The nursery is getting prepped for the first coat of paint as we speak! woo hoo!
