Has anyone woke up one morning and thought, yup todays the day im going into labor?
What r some of your stories? Im almost done with my pregnancy (37 weeks) and cant wait to give birth to see my son!

My contractions are every ten or fifteen minutes. Frustrating that they don't just pick up! I guess when hubby gets home from work I'll leave our kiddo with a sitter and get busy trying to start labor ;)

Haha I had that thought 2 weeks before my daughter was born. I never had any serious bracksten hicks contractions so I knew I wasnt actually in labor. One morning my contraction woke me up at 3am and I started using my contraction counter on my phone and at 5 am my contractions were five mins apart and I woke up my husband. I was like "sweetheart its time to go to the hospital." N he was like how are u so sure? Lol! He was delirious. Told him about my app and he said okay lets go. The hospital actually sent me home for a while because I wasn't far enough along in labor for them to really do anything and they said "come back when it gets worse or you feel like you cant stand it anymore" it only took me an hour before I was yelling at my hubby to take me back lol. By this time its 11am and im 4 or 5cm dilated and they say I can have the epidural. Omg. You have no idea how scared and how happy I was lol the anesthesiologist came in and was just feeling around my shoulders and I jumped so bad it freaked him out and he yelled "Its okay! Im only touching your shoulders!" Hahaha I am NOT a fan of needles so I was all kinds of freaking out. Flash forward to the epidural kicking in and talk about bliss. I didn't feel ANYTHING lol ive never been hospitalized before so I never had any real drugs in my system but oh my goodness did the epidural make me cold. Im talking 4 heated blankets two sheets and my husbands military parka liner was what it took for me to feel perfectly warm.

I'll be thirty eight weeks tomorrow and had a couple of contractions every time I woke up too pee last night. I'm really hoping this is it!
