Overdoing It?

I did a lot of manual labor today, and now my back is super crampy (I get period cramps in my back, too) and I'm having a lot of fake contractions. So...I always thought it was an OWT, but can overdoing it trigger labor? Or, am I just paying the price for my activities?

I think it might cause labor, my Mom went and walked for 2 days straight when she was pg with me because family came in and he as showing them downtown chicago and ended up having me 8 weeks early because her water started leaking and then she got contrations.

I know when I took DS to the shedd we spend the whole day walking and the next day my LO had dropped and I had some bloody show. 

Good Luck.

OMG, I hope so. I did so much work yesterday...even mopped my kitchen floor. But, today I feel like total s*&t! My back hurts, my allergies are insane, and I can barely walk. Baby dropped again, but at about 10pm tonight he wiggled back up. I am so ready for this kid to be out of me. I told DH again tonight that there is no way in hades that I will EVER do this again. Guess we will need to find a surrogate or adopt to get a DD. I did notice that I had several contractions today, nothing consistent. Have an appt tomorrow morning, but I am sure they will say nothing is happening. B/c as far as I know I haven't lost my plug and my water is still intact.

Anyway, labor dust your way. And I really, really hope you don't feel too crappy tomorrow from working so hard.

Walking around, cleaning, preparing and overdoing it with my mom sent me into labor...or at last that's what I think!

I just spent the night in a LOT of pain. And, I'm paying for it today. I still have a lot to do today, but it's nothing like the work I did yesterday. Alien is his normal crazy morning self, so I don't see him coming anytime in the next 24 hours.

I felt the same way last week after I worked in the garden...
