I should preface this by saying I have BH a lot with my pregnancies and they have never changed my cervix. I also have a history of no dilation with hard labor. I drank upwards of a gallon of water yesterday and take plenty of magnesium (1000mg).
This all started yesterday morning when nursing my dd. My milk dried up around 18 weeks, but she occasionally tries to nurse. For whatever reason, when she sleep nursed, I started having contractions. Well, I noticed that they were really frequent through the day. Around 8pm, I was concerned enough to time them and was averaging 6-8 an hour. That continued through the evening. I went to bed at 12 and contractions woke me several times and I even dreamed about them when they didn't wake me up.
Another odd thing...a few times I've noticed the contractions coming from a small area mid, right navel.
I have an OB appointment Monday morning and I keep hoping to just go to that and avoid L&D. It's over an hour away, money is tight and there's no one to leave the kiddos with.
Thoughts?
