Contractions

So i have learned that when i feel really crampy and it wraps around to my back, those are actually contractions. Yesterday i got those and my mom asked if they were timeable and sure enough they were 5 min apart and when i touched my lower stomach it was hard o.o all the other contractions ive had have been higher up but not nearly as painful as these cramp ones>:( i was going to go into L&D but suddenly after about an hour and a half they completely spread out and were at random. Sigh:(

I chugged a ton of water in between contractions (couldnt even drink water when they were happening) and they still didnt go away. Now today i still feel crampy and a bit nauseous plus some sharp pains down there. I hope labors soon!

That happened to me last week. I went in for dehydration I guess. They were contractions but I didn't dilate.
