Bad
I have been having contractions for weeks, almost all day just at random times. Today they are in my back too, I thought only real contractions could be felt in your back, not BH. Last night I had to go to L&D because the baby had not been moving around, but they said everything was fine, however contractions were showing on the monitor. Do Braxton Hicks show on the the monitor too?
Thanks guys!

Time them for an hour, if they're occurring consistently and lasting about 1 minute in duration, then they might be real labor. After timing them call your doctor for advice.
You can do some things to help labor along. Remember to drink plenty of water to prevent labor stalls and slow labor. Walk alot, rotate your hips slowly while standing, do squats while holding on to something sturdy to help you balance and get some good rest too if you can. Walking alot will allow gravity to help speed your labor, hip rotations and squats will help your pelvis to open and make it easier for the baby to transition to the birth canal.
Here's a link to a great article to help you determine if you're in Pre-Labor ore Early Labor:

To time your contractions:
Write down the starting time when your stomach tightens.
Then write down the time it stops. (How long was the contraction)
Doctors will ask you how close your contractions (from beginning of 1st contraction to the beginning of the next contraction) are and how long they are lasting.
Or if you're near the computer (or have an iPhone), use this:

Time your contractions for 1 hour, are they consistent?
Remember 5-1-1, Contractions every 5 minutes, lasting 1 minute in duration consistently for 1 hour. Then it's time to call the doctor and head to the hospital.
Active labor will grow stronger and more frequent over time (each contraction lasting about 1 minute in duration).
Hope this helps!

what type of camera is a spy camera?
iman a
im looking for a camera that you can put in one room and in another room you can see whats going on the place you put the camera in, actuallly i need it because my sister shes disabled eats all the food in the kitchen and i stay in the bedroom and cant watch her. her and my dad stay in the living room and my dad never watches her going into the kitchen. she eats all the meat cooked. i couldn't buy a lock for the refrigerator because i dont want to deal with opening it all the time it should be easy access. so what type of camera can do that like spying in another room
do you guys know any iphone or ipod apps that can do just that like download the app on your ipod that has a camera and put it in a living room and see the recording on your computer or something
Answer
Interesting question. You have two basic options.
1.) Video Baby monitor: Some can be used over the internet to monitor your kitchen anywhere, anytime. Can be wired or wireless. It's powerful and most mothers use it nowadays. Downside is, it's not discreet and once your sister knows it's there, she can find a way to evade it.
2.) Video Spy Cameras: Your best shot. They are covert, can be hidden anywhere. You can easily find wall-clocks with hidden cams, flowerpot, tissue box, even a tape recorder. I bet you can also find microwave oven with hidden cams, so many more.
Of course there are other options but these two are the cheapest options you can get.
