Yesterday evening I thought our little girl might be trying to make her debut. Before dinner I was having a ton of BH but I wasn't timing them, then after awhile I decided I better since they weren't going away. I ended up going 45 minutes with consistent contractions that were 1:00-1:30 in lenth 3-5 minutes apart. After 45 minutes they started spreading out to 7 and 8 minutes apart and then eventually went 14 minutes without one at all before they turned completely sporadic. Today I am still having them a lot but not timeable like last night. This whole not knowing when she will decide to come is no joke!
Re: consistent BH
If they're not getting worse, chances are they're not going to lead to labor. I had contractions this morning that were timeable but never got worse and then just stopped.
They like to mess with our heads.
My dh and I joke about how much water I drink! He says my giant Dunkin cup has now become a permanant extension of my hand. I cannot get enough ice water!
I know that's right. I got so excited last night because I started to have lower back pain and some mild cramping. Nothing too intense, so I went to bed early to get some rest just in case it turned out to be the real thing. Woke up a couple of hours later, wide awake, nary a contraction or back pain in site. I could almost hear Kidlet laughing at me.
