Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I am now 39 weeks pregnant and so excited because I know I will meet my little girl soon. I have been having contractions (more intense than Braxton Hicks) severtimes a day for the last week or so. Here is the weird thing that my OB got a kick out of - I can feel the contractions in my head too. I feel a pressure(not pain like) similar to the feeling you get from blood pressure when you bend over and the blood rushes to your face or when you are trying to lift something heavy and exert your self and feel the pressure in your face also. It happend about 1 second before the contraction starts and decreases and stops before the contraction ends. Have any one of you heard of this? I know I am unique but I haven't heard any one say they had this. Its not painful just different. this is my first baby so I have nothing to compare it to. BTW my blood pressure and everything else is fine so I don't think that has any thing to dop with it. Oh well I know this will all be over with the birth of little Sienna and I will have so much ore to think of than head pressure. - Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 thanks Sandy - At this point it just seems like the time will pass and be all over and I will wake up and say WOW I had a dream that I was pregnant wouldn't that be nice. It is still a little surreal for me but one of the biggest days of my life is not far away. - Diane > How exciting Diane! I can't wait for that time - it's what we are being so > patient for now.
