i have been having contractions since last night. Around 11am they started getting closer, 6 minutes apart now and headed in. Hopefully it's the real deal. 38 weeks today. Lost the plug last night and a little more this morning. Was 90% effaced and 1 1/2 cm on Friday. If this isn't real then knock me out and give me a c section. I can barely Walk my back is killing me... Fingers crossed I'll be holding my little man soon.
Best of luck to you! I went on a two mile walk the other night when my contractions were regular and they got even more regular and intense. Called the hospital and they told me the only true tell to labor is if they persist while resting not while walking and being active. They told me to lay down and if they persisted for an hour while at rest to call again. Well of course they went away completely, only to reappear every so often now and then. I've had 5 days of false off and on again labor. :-( I'm 39 weeks 2 days.
Re: Headed To The Hospital
My water broke last night, but my contractions aren't close enough together yet.
Hope everything goes smoothly for you!
