I think it's starting :)

I went to dinner with friends and family tonight, and by the end I had to stand up - was feeling so crampy and uncomfortable that I couldn't sit. We came home and went for a walk, and I kept having contractions and pain. My H and my sister are here, so we all came home and went to sleep. I managed to get 1 hour, but now I'm up. When I lay down the pain shoots down my legs, which is super uncomfortable. Walking feels a bit better. I know I should be trying to get as much sleep as possible through this early part, but how the heck am I supposed to sleep right now??!! Anyone else up?

Same thing happened to me! My son was born this morning after being in labor for 39 hours (including pre-labor). Start timing your contractions and go to your doctor or hospital when they are 5 minutes apart and lasting for about 1 minute each. Good luck!!

Thanks! They are pretty close together(about every 4 min), but not lasting 1 min each yet, and painful but not so painful that I can't move through them. So I think I've got awhile longer. I guess I'll try and lay back down and see if I can get more sleep...

Congratulations to you!

Slept for 2 more hours. Now back to pacing with contractions and pain, but not enough that I think I should go anywhere. Guess I'm in it for the long haul today! Fingers crossed that this doesn't just stop and leave me with nothing...
