Awake here, too. Woke up at 3:30 and had four strong contractions 5-7min apart. Thought today would be the day for baby, but I guess they stopped because I fell back asleep. Woke up again to a contraction at like 4:15 and haven't gotten back to sleep or had another contraction.
Labor with DS was very textbook but fast. I knew from the first contraction that it was time. This time with my "irritable uterus," I have no idea what my body is doing.
Morning, gals. I just had to wake up for my early morning protein bar, so figured I'd see if anything was going on. Sorry everyone's having trouble sleeping. I know I should go back to sleep, but I'm never tired when I should be anymore.
Damn I should have bumped while is was up! DS is doing this wierd bathroom thing where he doesn't want to get of of bed to go, but won't go in pull ups so instead he whines on and off until he finally decides he can't hold it anymore. So we were up from like 2:30-4. Grrr. That means we'll both be crabby today.
I'm awake. It's 5:30 here but I've been awake since about 3. Painful contraction woke me up and now I'm so uncomfortable I can't go back to sleep.

I'm up!! It's 1am in Vegas. Just got outta the shower and sooo not sleepy. I think it's cause im just feeling a bit off. Can't really pin point it, just lots of pressure from the baby and of course the achey hips/pelvis.
Don't freak out, but that's how most labor stories start out! "I felt off and achy. I couldn't sleep and decided to take a shower. Felt a lot if pressure...
If you start contractions... Time them!!!
Good looking out @cbear47, thanks!! Luckily I was able to fall asleep a half hour later...and no contractions.
@bluedot818 I go on Friday and plan to ask then if I can wait that long. Walking or standing for any length of time is excruciating. I feel like I'm going to break in half. Let me know how your appointment goes!

Wish I had seen this last night during one of my 12 wake up/pee/flip sides times. Ugh I'm so exhausted today Has anyone talked to their doctor about the hip pain? I'm going to bring it up today at my appointment... but I"m guessing there's nothing that can be done except give birth... right??
I asked about it around this time last go round. My doc's response was "Welcome to the end of your pregnancy."
Thanks for the update! I just keep saying "this too shall pass!" Baths help but seriously I don't know if I can take more than the 3 per day I'm already taking, lol!
