Woke up at 4:30am with the closest thing I've had to contractions. Timed them as best I could for about an hour; they were about 8-10 min apart. Had about 6 of them and they lasted about 1 minute. But I was having trouble definitively knowing the beginning and end because my back hurt too. Decided to lay down on the couch and fell asleep. Woke up at 8:30am and they stopped. I really haven't had anything since. I thought for sure today was the day.
It was so much easier last time. My water broke, I went to the hospital and 2 hours later contractions started. I knew it was time. I'm struggling this time around because I just don't know for sure. I just want my May baby.
Thanks for letting me vent...
