Still sitting tight at home. I slept a little last night off and on (like usual at this point!) and a few of the contractions were strong enough to wake me up.
as for right now, they seem to have gone back to 10 min. apart, but are a little more intense. I'm still hanging tight at the house until they're a little more alarming.
This "am I in labor" crap is pretty irritating. Before theBump and before I was pregnant I thought it was pretty clear-cut (i/e. "my water broke" or "I'm definitely experiencing labor contractions") but now I feel totally confused and in the dark about whether this is "it."
I'll keep updating, but as for now: no broken water, no 5 min contractions, no hospital.
Re: F/U to contracting...
Ugh! Well I'm sending you labor dust or vibes or whatever it is to encourage the LOs to evacuate.
I totally get how you feel about the clear-cut thing, I always thought it was too. Now I'll have contractions for an hour or so and then nothing. I didn't think my body would be all wishy washy.
Good luck, keep us updated!
Good news is that you are probably in early labor... Bad news, it can last awhile.
Hang in there mama, you're almost done! I know how you feel though.
Its sooooooo annoying Baz. I'll return some labor dust when you're ready to go!!
and thanks pomrom!!
Yea, that's pretty much an exact quote from this morning! haha. thanks!
I hear ya - hope your contractions are regular soon enough so you can head to the hospital and stop the agonizing wait! I'm due tomorrow and have been having such random contractions (that, of course stop as soon as I think I should go to the hospital) that I feel like I'm never REALLY going to go into labor.
Good luck - hope you don't go past due like I think I'm going to....
