Hello

[GinaL]

Just signed up and I think I"m in labor lol

This is my first and My hubby and I are planning a home birth. So I don't really know if I am in labor or not. Is it false? Not sure.

Started Sat night, lots of pain in my back. Then yesterday progressed to on and off pain. Didn't get much sleep last night even though I took a gravol and a tylenol. I think I had a three hour stretch but was awake about every 15 mins after that. My stomach isn't going really hard, but it's a pain I have to breath though. I didn't loose my mucous plug and my water hasn't broken. Any advice?

call your midwife and see what she thinks. rest, eat, drink hydrating fluids and let nature take its course.

Could be labor, could be early labor that goes on for a week--everyone is different and first babies are hard to 'read'...

I agree with the pp--eat and drink--be sure to empty your bladder every 1-2 hrs and rest up as much as possible (even tho you are excited!)

Call your m/w if it gets really difficult to walk/talk thru contrax...
