hmmmm, i think i'm having contractions (9/9 UPDATE)

9/9 Update - well I was definitely having contractions last night. they felt very different from the BH i've been having for the last several months. they were 6-7 minutes apart for about 3 hours. i had a glass of wine, a big bowl of oatmeal and went to bed about 10:30. they continued through the night (i slept through them fine, my bladder woke me up several times) and i had some this morning as well...but no pattern or regularity to them today. 

i guess that just means baby isn't quite ready yet and my body is getting itself together for the big event! i saw my MW today and we discussed options for next week if i'm still pregnant. we'll start with a membrane sweep and see how that works first. in the meantime, baby's head is engaged slightly, which she said is perfectly normal for 2nd time moms. 

so, all looks good. had chiro this a.m., massage in an hour!

thanks soo much for all your well wishes last night. it's so wonderful to have this board...it's meant so much to me over the months! so glad the nest/bump finally recognized us!

 ***********************************************************

kinda hoped this would start in the morning, after a nights rest.

going to have a glass of wine after i put the kiddo to bed and put face to pillow too!

at 40.4, I hope this is it!

    my mom had a glass of wine at 40 wks w me (she said she'd craved it like crazy the entire time and thought she might die if she waited another day haha. plus. i'm pretty sure you don't get FAS after ONE glass at 40 weeks) anyways. she went into labor WHILE she was drinking it. she's absolutely sure its what made her go into labor. hopefully you had the same luck

    haha, the wine was to keep me chilled out and the oatmeal was to fill the tummy and give me energy in case it was needed later and i didn't want to eat! i ate a big bowl of oatmeal the morning i went into labor with my son!

    Hopefully your body is getting some of the prep work done for labor so that when it **really** starts, it'll be nice and short and comfortable for you!  Hope you enjoyed the massage and get lots of rest...  It won't be long now!  :)
