Pretty sure it's happening. Lost my plug on Thursday, the day after my doc attempted a sweep at 1cm dilated and 0 effaced. woke up early this morning to pee, about 330am, and when I laid down again I felt a terrible stretching like tear in my upper abdomen. I freaked out, it hurt so bad, I thought my uterus ruptured. I accidentally woke hubby up crying out in pain. I was afraid to move as the pain started to fade, but when I tried to move sides it started again. Still don't know what that was but after that and ever since i've been having some intense contractions. They get as close to 3 minutes apart, but then they space back out to 8 to 10. It ***** and they really hurt but I'm really excited. I've, been having them all day tho and they feel like they're getting worse but not necessarily closer together. I haven't called the hospital or anything. She told me at my last appt to wait til I can't talk or walk thru them and if they're 5 minutes apart, consistently. Idk. Just an update I guess, but any insight or advice would be helpful. I've been drinking water and trying to walk and rest. They hurt so bad sometimes though and I kind of double over. Does this all sound normal? Second pregnancy, but I didn't go into labor like this with my first. I'm.scared.
