False Labor (long, maybe TMI)

I had what I guess was false labor last night.  Starting just after midnight (so I guess this morning, not last night...) I started having contractions.  We started timing them after 30 minutes or so and they were pretty irregular, every 5-10 minutes and lasting anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes each.  They stayed like that for about two more hours, and then I decided to get into the tub to see if that changed things and it slowed them way down.  By 5 this morning they had completely stopped.

But yeah, that was scary!  They were much more intense than I imagined.  Also, when they were at their worst I was throwing up between each contraction.  It was awful!  They felt like really bad stomach cramps you get with bad diarrhea (sorry that's TMI) only they started in my hips/sides and came around to the front.  I kept trying to go to the bathroom before I realized what was happening because it really felt like a bad upset stomach.

My DH did so great, though.  I could tell that he was freaked out, but he acted calm & took care of me all night.  He rubbed my back & held my hair when I was throwing up, and he finished packing our hospital bag & put it in the car just in case.  Also when I got out of the bathtub I walked in on him reading the labor & delivery section of WTE.  It was so cute. Smile

Today I feel like my entire uterus is bruised.  Every movement LO makes hurts SO bad.  And, I think he moved even lower last night and it feels like he's pinching a nerve on my pubic bone.  Walking hurts so bad now.  Hopefully he will move again or come out soon, because I can't imagine up to four more weeks of this!
