I'm up again, with contractions. Maybe this time is it!!
This evening we(H, my sister and I) walked to the local pizza place, and as we were walking, I felt like I was having a lot of discharge. Much more than normal. I thought maybe I had a slow leak, but it stopped and started, and seemed similar to discharge I've had before, though wetter and more of it. No contractions, so we just figured we'd keep an eye on it.
Then we got home, and I had blood with more discharge. Figured it was just bloody show, which of course got me excited. Eventually I was having so much leaking and some cramps, so I called L and D just to see about the water breaking vs. discharge. I am GBS positive, so I figured it was good to check.
They said leave it a couple of hours and see what happens. So I tried to go to sleep, but the cramps kept getting worse, and I was still bleeding. My contractions this week have all radiated over my whole belly, so I thought this was different than that. But they came and went in waves. Eventually I got up, and walked around and realized that my belly was tightening, even though I could only feel the pain very low and then radiating down my legs. My sis is a doctor, so she got up to help me see. I'm trying to let H sleep until we need to go somewhere.
I started timing the crampy contractions. Right now they are every 2 min, about 45 sec long, and I've been timing for about an hour. They are super painful, but not so bad I can't talk through them. So at some point I think we'll head to the hospital. I hope this is really it!!
