I don't know exactly what this means and I know this could space out and go on for the next week or longer etc., but I am awake and posting at 4:30am b/c since 1:30am I have been having very mild contrax about every ten minutes. Although I think they are peetering out now.
I have been trying to just sleep through this and not get excited or anxious and to tell myself that this is just some "warm-ups" and the "real thing" could be a ways off. . .but couldn't really sleep. At this point I am more curious than anything else and that is keeping my brain awake! What I have been feeling is definitely not BHs (although I had a lot of those yesterday). It's very much like mild period cramps, although for me period cramps have always been pretty continous cramping while this is definitely a wave of tingly cramping that builds and then is gone. Like I say, nothing even painful yet, but a very distinct sensation nonetheless.
On Friday I was 30% effaced but with no dilation, so my MW had predicted that if I went into labor soon it could be a long, slow build up, so I'm thinking that's what this is. I keep telling myself it will stop soon. . .
No other "signs" yet. . .no mucus plug, no blood, no diarrhea. . .
Anyway, just wanted to share. At least I know something is starting to get moving in there!

But in any case, exciting in it's own right!
And my cervix making some progress I hope. This was definitely a feeling I haven't had before. . .I know something was happening.
