Contractions
By emmapeal9 » Posted Jul. 12, 2014 9:26am - 580 views - 10 comments
Spent all day yesterday counting contractions. They lasted all day anywhere from 15 minutes apart to 3 minutes apart. Even called the doc. But the pain was not increasing and they wanted me to wait to come in until I can't talk during a contraction.
I slept. Woke up from contractions a few times. At 4, they were pretty decent and I counted for a while, but was able to go back to sleep.
This morning DH and I walked the dog (very short walk) and had another good contraction. My belly has been rock hard since I woke up. and I'm having a lot of pressure in my lady bits - front and back. Feels a lot like I need to have a good BM, but I went 3 times yesterday, so there can't be anything left (I'm a once a day kinda gal).
Hydrating now, just as I did all day yesterday. I'd like to get this show on the road, Baby Boy!

| Comment from emmapeal9 » Posted Jul. 12, 2014 12:54pm Some feel like powerful menstrual cramps. Lots of back pain yesterday that was very timeable. Today is more like pressure with some cramping on and off. When I walk my belly gets hard. Today when it hardens its from my pubic bone all the way to the top of my uterus. It seems hard more often than not. Rolling over when laying down or sitting up from laying down seems almost impossible. |
