early labor? 36 weeks in just a couple hours.

OK so I been having irregular but non stop contractions for almost 24 hours. Not painful but noticeable. Could it be early stages of labor? I have an appt in the morning (in 12 hours) but just can't sleep.

She has lost some oz but dr said its normal :-) she is now having a problem with latching on the right side but I just got a pump so I'll be doing that to release pressure its pretty bad.. But I still don't care lol I feel my husband is feeling left out and he doesn't get to do much for her.. which my hormones are coming out now lol I cry everytime I think about it

That's awesome. I had to get stitches this time again too so I know exactly how you feel lol. My daughter latched right away too and has been gaining weight like crazy, by day 6 she gained 4 oz. I've been able to pump about 15oz out of each side daily.
And yes it's amazing! Life is so different with 2 kids. I never could've imagined how much times it takes to handle them both or that I would even forget to eat sometimes. But life sure is worth every second of it.

She's here!!!!! 11/5/14 at 9:31pm weighing in at 7lbs 1oz 19.25in
I started my induced at 7:30am (when I actually got a pill to induce me lol) so I had an epidural around 4cms when my water broke then I went from 4 to 7 in 3hrs and as soon as I hit 7cm I had the urge to push and she checked and we started pushing... yes it was painful and she did tare me about 5-6 stiches but I didn't care when saw her face... she latched right on after getting cleaned which made me super happy :-)
She is quite too lol she just kinda wines but cries alil
But who cares she's here :-) :-) :-)
So happy for us

Congrats. Can't wait to hear how it goes. These past few days have been amazing, she's so quiet, she barely cries even when she wakes up in the middle of the night to eat. My milk supply is crazy high so I've been able to feed her then still pump 4 oz out at a time and I been able to pump atleast twice a day so I'm getting a good stock pile in the freezer already. Lol.

@babytaylordixie I got crazy lucky and had my Halloween baby girl. 7 lbs 19.5in long. Was in labor for about 6.5 hrs and only hard labor maybe an hour and a half and only pushed for 2 minutes and was able to do it all natural again. She's been latching great and nursing wonderful. And my 2 yr old is already OBSESSED with her and has a hawk eye on every nurse that comes near her lol. How have you been doing?

Not that my Dr just called and rescheduled my induction date to where I'll have her on the 4th instead of the 5th.

So I'm getting anxious and tried three evening primrose oil pills vaginally and somewhat rough sex lol. Hopefully the contractions I've been having all day will do what they should lol. How are you holding up now being past your due date?
