I am trying hard not to get my hopes up but I have been having contractions and they don't stop when I change activity like normal! I have had bad diarrhea since 2pm (tmi), I am nauseous, my tummy is making weird gurgling sounds, and I am laying in bed and it seems like I can't stop moving my legs like I have restless leg syndrome or something. I have been trying to time my contractions and I know my last 3 have been 8 minutes apart. I haven't lost my mucous plug and my water hasn't broke but please let this be true labor!! I need to try to sleep in case I do go into labor tonight but I'm just to anxious and can't get myself to relax :/

I walk 7 hours a night at work and as much as possible when I'm not working. My body is really used to the walking it really isn't working for me. They were getting slightly more painful and they were consistently at 8 min for 2 hours before I finally fell asleep so I did not think they were Braxton hicks. Obviously they were though since they eventually stopped

It sounds like Braxton hicks. When they are closer together and become more and more painful, then I would say that is active labor. Good luck! Walk around more, that's what I did and I only pushed for 30 minutes and he was my first.

Well after three hours of consistent contractions and not being able to sleep everything stopped ): I have a drs apt tomorrow morning and I'm just hoping I have dilated some in the last week at least. I have been trying everything! I hope we both start progressing more! It seems like we've been going through pretty much the same things every day
