It started at 3:30pm and are about 10 minutes apart. The first one hurt like hell and they have been about 10 minutes apart since 3:30 today, but only lasting about 15 to 30 seconds. We'll have to see if this is really it.
Just happy my body is doing something. At my 39 week appointment on Monday, my doc said I wasn't dilated or effaced at all, so bring on the contractions!
BTDT mommies - when labor first started for you all, did you feel them a lot in your lower back? That's what's I'm feeling now...
Re: I think these are labor pains I'm having...
When I went into labour with my daughter it felt like period cramps, but I didn't really have them in my back (which is messed up cause she was facing the wrong way so I should've had back labour but didn't). I never had actual contractions though, even the monitors didn't pick up any contractions after my water broke. Just almost constant cramps the whole labour.
All day today my back has felt really tight and sore and I've been having almost constant period like cramping, but nothing regular or timeable
Hope this is the real thing for you! Good luck!
