ok.. well it seems I'm about to eat my words.

Started having contractations that feel a lot like my period cramps used to only not quite as intense. So far every 30-40 minutes for about 3-4 minutes. Still not 100% sure if they are anything to write home about but thought I'd keep you girls updated. Also feel kind of achy in my back which is not normal for me since I've been pretty good in this pregnancy in regards to back pain.

Josh keeps looking at me kind of worried and i told him that the doctor said not to worry until they are every 4 minutes for an hour...and it's no where near that yet.

probably nothing but more intense BH but well... I won't be too disappointed if baby comes a little early and i get my VBAC, but it may mean that Josh gets to take Matty to the Santa Claus parade by himself on Saturday.

Kind of excited for this... is that weird?

 

[armymama2012]

Yay! I say you have 4 more days til you will need to be admitted!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I say you'll be delivering by tomorrow morning Thats how my labor with Trysten started NOT TO SCARE YOU but I did the same thing...by the time I got to the hospital they were 1 minute apart and I had to WALK all the way to the elevator to get up stairs it was middle of the night and no wheel chairs were down stairs talk about AGONY...

Anyways my cramps started at midnight not bad just little ones I thought I was just going nuts an everything was gonna be okay...til I went to pee at 2 and there was blood I freaked out an well thats when we started packing things an told my mom to be on her way.....by 3 something it was getting worse....and she got there around 4....We had to stop on the way to the hospital an get gas and I was wigging out in the car I thought I was dying....Jason only put in 10 bucks to get us there....and by the time he got to the gate to show ID's they were like is she okay...!!!!!!! Hes like yea shes about to have the baby....so by 4:45 we get to the hospital an I get up stairs an they are like wow, you're a 3....by 9:32am...my baby was out! lol...happened soooo fast!! a little more than 9 hours of labor!! Talk about CRAZY!


It felt like just bad period cramps nothing I couldn't handle....until I hit 6cm THEN I wanted my EPI...and it was almost too late LOL!! You might be in back labor!!!! That is gonna hurt bad if it continues!! I'd say get a checkup what could it hurt

 

[waiting2012]

Not sure if preggo or not but am slightly amused at each days ticker sx for that day... today is nauseasness and why, YES it is... go figure, right?? Lol.. respond proper in a bit.

 

[waiting2012]

Andi- saw your fb post.. I know last night was aweful and I know there is only so much one can take.. I have my share and mostly because Jason is in school and he can't let his stress flow out without it being negative towards EVERYONE else in the house... big hun!!!

Mandy- I have a feeling you'll be having your sweet girl very very soon!!

 

[Kahlan83]

so nothing exciting overnight. Contractions weren't really that intense but they did get to every 20 minutes and then tapered off. Back was achy still for a while and insomnia was bad... finally got to sleep around 4am.

woke up feeling very nauseaous and again my back is very achy and i'm crampy but it's not contraction-isk... more like when I have period cramps and they don't stop.

My mom has Matty today (she usually gets him for a whole day once a week) so I packed some extra clothes and his PJ's... as well as his sleep blankey just in case something does happen today.

I know yesterday when they were feeling around, they did feel baby's head in my pelvis and they could barely move it so that might explain some of hte pressure I'm having when walking around... sorta like something heavy is hitting against my pelvis (lol, i know duh... there is... but you know what I mean)

My mom was saying that she had mostly back labor with me and not many definiative contractions... so who knows.

It's all really hard to say. I don't want to jump the gun and go to the hospital until I have something to really complain about.... don't want to risk them keeping me when I'm only like 3 or 4 cm and be bed ridden like last time

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Totally understand that ^^.....And yes before labor begin I ate at Red Lobster and I GOT SICK....my hubby came home from work early so maybe you are in early labor I eventually threw up a few times an felt LOTS better....then hours later the contractions came pouring in PRAYING its gonna happen soon for you Mandy!! Thats exciting!

I think we are both stressed about the TRUCK being broke AGAIN in less than 2 months we've spent 3 grand on it...an its broken again...needless to say I tried NOT to trade the truck because our CAR at the time was under WARRANTY...so we got screwed honestly on this truck...and its broke again and gonna cost around 2 grand to fix it approx. so yea we are sick to our stomachs an Christmas is coming.....this SUCKS!

 

[Kahlan83]

yeah a little more intense but L&D said not to come in until I felt I couldn't handle it but it was totally up to me if I came in or not. Think I'm going to start timing again.

I know how you feel about your truck. We had a car that kept breaking down constantly and finally we decided that it just wasn't worth it anymore and got a new (new to us) truck. We've had it almost a year now and it's great not having something go wrong every month. Maybe it's time to look for something more reliable... it's an expense but in the long run, it will save you more money. Even a newer used car would be better.

I'll keep you all updated

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Its a 2006...and only has 75,000 miles on it but we've already had to replace the stupid transfer case, and now the ecm and something else is screwing up causing the truck to NOT know how fast its going and it actually can "run away" at this point and excellerate and not be able to stop..so deffo not safe to drive it honestly its scary....we used it yesterday an I was in tears in it praying we made it home safely....anyways...yea sucky

And thats what L&D told me an if I wouldn't have got there when it wasn't "so bad" I'd not have made it to the hospital...by the time we GOT there...I was contracting every minute...when we left the house 20 minutes away....they were only 3-5 minutes apart LOL...thats how fast my labor progressed just saying don't wait too late When I saw the blood I FREAKED an thought I was miscarrying LOL I had no clue what labor felt like! Had a Csection with my first so it was way diff. when I actually got to VBAC LOL!

 

[armymama2012]

They always told me that if you can't talk during contractions, it is time to go to L& D.

 

[AndreaFlorida]

If that woulda been me I'd have been a 9 or 10 by the time I got there...lol I mighta been too late I say go with what you think/body feels We know ourselves better than any nurse or doctor

 

[Kahlan83]

well they stopped again.

Must be BH. I dunno. Everything I've read said that BH contractions shouldn't hurt and these did... like period cramps. My back is still a little achy but I mean that could mean anything... I am getting later in my pregnancy and I have a back condition so it could just be the way the baby is sitting.

I can't go by the whole "if you can't talk" thing because even when I was in labour with my son and he got stuck and it was a constant contraction I was still able to talk so...

just wish it was one or the other cuz this intense BH stuff is driving me crazy

If she's not ready that's perfectly fine I just don't like not knowing.

 

[armymama2012]

I had all back labor with my daughter and I couldn't talk through them once they were 3 minutes apart.

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I was talking all through mine lol....I was just breathing deep then spitting crap out LOL

 

[armymama2012]

LMAO I was silent through pretty much the whole thing.

 

[bnporter81]

Hi girls...sounds like you're all doing good

Wow, sounds like we'll have a baby on here soon. I bet it won't be long!

I had all back labor with my daughter (first baby) and I think it was a lot more painful than my other two. My first took 26 hours from start to finish and my boys were both around 7 hours.

Wishing you lots of luck, hon, and I can't wait to see pics

Andi, to answer your question, I used to live in Cape Coral FL, but now I live in TN. I looooved FL

Steph, it's still a little early for a pos. test, but I hope you'll be seeing one soon!

Happy late anniversary Nicole!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

My back is killing me tonight horrible cramping I duno if this is good or bad

 

[waiting2012]

Mandy--Hurry up and have that baby will ya??? I had bad back labor with Wes on top of the other complications I had... But with Adrian she was scheduled--I knew when she was getting unzipped...

Andi--I'm glad to hear the hubby is being a bit nicer to ya hun! You deserve good things.. As far as the cramps go--If they don't ease up you ought to get in with your doctor--have them check your hcg--your progesterone was so high just a few days ago... I would hate to think its dropping or something hun... Please get it checked before the holidays are upon us!

Beth--how are you hun? AF finally gone?? Seems just a bit ago--we were trying to get the ole witch to arrive! Hope this is the last time you've got to see her!

Nicole--How are you hun--Good I hope! Can't wait for u/s pics of your little bean--won't be long and you'll get to find out what your having--if you want to know that is.. All else fails--we can look and see if we can figure it out...LOL

As for me--hell, I don't know anymore--I'm a bit crampy but it's mostly stomach cramps--had a bit of diarrhea (TMI) a bit ago.. My boobs will come on and ache or burn or have that slapped with sledge hammer feeling than it goes away--this morning in the shower was the worst.. My face is AWEFULLY broke out right now..And I'm constantly dragging my ass at work.. Took an Answer brand test tonite.. Shared the original pic with Andi via txt, but decided to tweak it and see what I get--can't say if there is anything there, I "think" there is but I'm always seeing lines when there isn't one.. LOL... I let ya'll be the judge of whether there is or not..
Before tweak

After tweak

Pic took within the time limit too.. will check in tomorrow.. Hope that baby comes soon!!

 

[waiting2012]

Never mind ladies.. ... found indent line inside...

 

[Kahlan83]

alright well we went for a walk and then to the hospital but when they checked me i was only 1.5 cm so they said probably not labour.

Still have an achy back but well I'll just have to wait it out.

Oh and baby's head isn't engaged in my pelvis, just down in that general area.

sigh. oh well. she'll come on her own time.
