Getting closer!

32 days left at most? wow! Here's how I know labor will be somewhat soon.

Series of events:

Sunday April 14th- so much pressure and pain, I thought I was in labor (pain lasted 10 hours) and seemed to be getting worse (had to sit/lay on the floor a few times I was in so much pain).

Monday April 15th through Saturday April 20th- period like cramps all day every day

22nd-24th- period like cramping all day and sharp pains, a few time-able contractions.

24th- contractions were 7-10 minutes apart for an hour, then stopped.

25th- more of the "mucus plug" lost.

On top of all of these, I haven't been feeling myself lately, more mucus plug has been coming out, lots more pressure (when I sit on the toilet, it feels like baby is falling out). Due to the 'purple line' theory, I'm approx 2.5 cm. We'll see next week if its true. (hoping so!)

April 26-27 (so far)..contractions every 2-3 minutes for 5 1/2 hours. They didn't stop or change with activity (got closer together and longer duration), with fluids (stayed the same even after 16+ fl oz). I've been peeing nearly every 15 minutes, baby is still active (usually not during a contraction), pressure is getting worse, backache is getting worse. Google says its 'false labor' due to the contractions being low not high (they were low last delivery). I believe I have approx 4 more hours until they get noticeably worse (some are trying to take my breath away). It feels like baby is punching her bubble. The hiccups are quite annoying right now :( I'll have to update later.
UPDATE: 2-3 minute contractions for 11 hours, I got some sleep, but it was interrupted. They haven't gotten worse, but haven't gone away either. Laying on my side made them more noticeable, at least until deep sleep took over. Still contracting now, every 2-3 minutes. Called mom and told her about it, told a friend about it. My friend said that you have to be exactly 36 weeks for them to not stop labor, so if I go to L&D they might stop it.

ANOTHER UPDATE: ...making a new journal for this
