Lots of Contractions This Afternoon
They aren't getting longer, stronger, and closer so I know at the moment it is just practice contractions. But they are about every 15-20 minutes lasting about 20-45 seconds. I have timed them on and off now since about 5:30 this afternoon. They have been around most of the day though. I took a nap earlier and was still having them. I've drank 3 liters of water today. I took a warm bath, which I got out of about 30 minutes ago. I have had 2 since getting out of the bath. I'm heading to bed here shortly, if that doesn't stop them, then I guess this is it. They are still fairly tolerable, being just a bit painful. I would say worse than menstrual like cramping, but not bad enough that I can't walk or talk during them. Of course, this could still mean hours, days, or even weeks still. I walked around 3 cm's for the longest time with my DD. About 3 weeks, of course she also came about 3 weeks before my due date too. Anyhow, if ya'll don't hear from me in the am, its cause I headed to L&D. Otherwise, I'll definitely post by 8 AM CST to let everyone know it is just more of the same. It is still too early unless you go by my original due date of January 3rd (this puts me at almost 37 weeks), but docs rarely change your due date at this time, so right now it is January 12th (this puts me at 35 weeks).
It is definatly starting to look like you are in L/D, I hope that everything is okay! Let us know how you are doing!
lets try to keep this up top so she knows we're thinking about her and cant wait for an update :)
