holy cow...contractions!

So I've been convinced that I've been having real contractions for the past few weeks...boy was i wrong! The contraction that i just had, put all the others to shame...THAT was a real contraction! I had to hold my self up on my car and force myself to breathe. I thought i was going to pass out lol. That just made up my mind to get the epidural...i am no hero lol

I had forgotten how painful contractions could be too! I knew Id get an epidural - have with all my others because I have a low pain tolerance - but they can really take your breath away. Hence how Drs can usually tell if youre having real contractions or not over the phone by listening to you. @maybaby19 - and yes my hubby does feel bad about not being able to help. Its a main source of his irritation these days that he cant drive yet. But today just scared him as much as it did me. Now everytime I cringe or mutter "ow" hes on his feet in a flash and asking if Im alright.
