As previously stated, I'm making cake. White cake with vanilla butter cream. I'm mostly excited for the frosting. I'm doing this all in the semi darkness too. Our kitchen light bulbs died and DH has to go to Costco tomorrow to get more.

Ohh, it sounds romantic... Baking a cake in the dim lighting.

Guess everyone else has responsibilities. Laaame.

Also, I've never gone into labor before. So am I supposed to feel like I just did 1000 sit ups?

Yea, that's a good way to put it, actually... It does feel like cramping ab muscles (hence contraction), mixed a little with menstrual cramps. Gradually just getting a little more painful... Have you really been timing them? I know there's a few apps you can download if you have a smart phone..

ETA: Some people feel them in their back, I never did..

I haven't been timing them. I do have an app though. The 1000 sit up feeling is like almost constant though. It's weird. I know I have a contraction when my lower abdomen tightens really bad though and then radiates upwards. It farking hurts lol.

Yea, it's a feeling hard to explain and not everyone feels the same way! But i guess it's one of those "When it happens you'll know" type of deals. Just focus on your breathing (maybe count to 10, or whatever you may have learned if you took a class) and try your best to relax. My cervix had a hard time dilating cause I was so tense during my contractions... Once I was able to relax and breath and kind of sway back and forth (I stayed out of that bed as long as possible) it really helped.

Yeah, I've been trying my deep breathing stuff and trying to relax. I just sway a little on my ball. It's a weird feeling to me. I was induced with Rosie.

The tight feeling is how labor started for me. Then I lost my mp and got the real deal sharp pain contractions.

Crossing fingers for you! Exciting!

I've had absolutely no contractions since going to bed, and for whatever reason now I'm lying here awake. Hope yours turn into something!
