I want my baby out.

38+1the past couple of days I was cramping and extremely nauseous and also had the runs on wednesday. So I knew something was up that early labor was probably starting. I get up today considering I haven't been out of my house since tuesday which was for my doctor app so anyways I went to breakfast with family and was feeling ok at the time then around noon I noticed I was losing some of my mucus plug I was like ok this is a good sign then about 10 mins later I was having a contraction but didn't worry me bcuz by that time they were 25 to 30 mins apart. By the time I got Home around 2 they were Still about 25 mins apart then 3:40 hit and I was having them every 4-5 min apart last at least a full minute so im like ok I need to go to the hospital I thought this was it needless to say im not dilated but having regular contractions every 5 mins still ): need this baby boy out):

I had contractions and false alarms starting at 30 weeks. I kept having contractions every day and when they would get close together I would go in amd it wouldn't be anything. They come when they want lol I ended up having my precious baby boy on Wednesday (: I was 39 weeks 2 days. Just hold out mama! He will be here soon (:

That's so irritating isn't it! I hated those darn Braxton hicks contractions in my last days! I just had my baby 5 days ago & was so happy when I went into labor 4 real. Everybody handles pain a different way. When I went into labor I was only one cm dilated! I ended up having a c section but, yeah those contractions are confusing just take it for as Long as possible n as soon as they feel like they're any kind of stronger, go to the hospital!
