Is this it?

[saskmom]

Well I am not too sure if this is it or not but I have been having mild mild contractions all morning!! I have been to the bathroom twice with loose bowels and I feel a bit nauseous. No show as of yet but I will keep you all informed if I can!! Please send vibes my way because I would love for it to be happening right now because DP has to go back to work on Wednesday!!!!

[jee'smom]

[hopeful1]

Good luck momma.... I'm sending easy labor and delivery vibes your way!!!!!!

[saskmom]

Look at all those labour vibes!!!! thank you everyone!! It has been 6 hours approx. and the contractions are the same....no worse, no better, not consistent at all!!! So it is just a waiting game for now I guess. I just wish they would get better or they would stop so i knew what exactly is going on.....one minute i think braxton hicks and then the next i think it is real labour!! : : : : : : : :

How can i tell if this is it or not?

Good luck I hope this is it!

[huskermommy]

This is so frustrating! s Hang in there! Either way your time is soon mama!!

I would say it COULD be labor, but more likely a 'prep' for labor--I only say that because I've been experiencing the same thing, but don't feel like I'm in any 'real' pattern at all...
Relax and get as much sleep now as possible (I'm having insomnia too...ugh)

[saskmom]

Well the contractions have stopped almost completely.....so they must of been braxton hicks....i have never experienced bh with my first two so I don't really know what to expect!!! It must be my body preparing me i guess....I sure hope it doesn't mean I will have a fast labour or anything like that because we have to drive two hours to the nearest hospital!!!!

Mrs_Hos: we are due the same day and are having similar symptoms!! I am suffering from insomnia right now too!!!! :

[Mrs_Hos]

Yep--isn't this fun KNOWING that we need sleep, but can't!??

I felt so bad today--I NEEDED a nap, and told my 4 yr old that 'mean mommy' would come out if she didn't go to sleep/nap (she usually naps, but didn't want to today)--so we laid here for 1.5hrs and I dozed for 10min intervals...she never slept, but laid here in silence and didn't move...she was scared of mean mommy...I felt so bad about that. How can I be so mean in these final days of one on one time? Oh well--tomorrow will be better right?
But WHY can't I sleep damn it. Totally ticks me off...

I'm not really ready for this babe yet though--still too much to do!

[sunshine*girl]

Oy saskmom I was hoping for you! I never had bh like the ones I'm having now and I'm always questioning if it's the "real" thing or not. I told my mom I feel like a teenager.....so naive and questioning every little twinge.

And the insomnia! That's just a cruel joke.

[saskmom]

well it is 6 am and the mild contractions are back!! A little bit worse than the first ones!!! Cross my fingers!!!!

[sunshine*girl]

Here's hoping for you! Sending you good labor & delivery vibes.

[saskmom]

well these contractions or Bh's keep coming and going and it is driving me crazy!! So this must mean that it is going to be soon right?!?!?! Yeah right because at the same time it could mean nothing!! Last night I was up with stronger contractions that were taking my breath away and were about 20 minutes apart....this is freaking me out because this is our third and we have a two hour drive ahead of us so i wish this babe would just decide a definite yes or no!! Anyway for now i just have mild cramping that is constant, and some lower back pain. I will keep everyone posted!

I figured I better do a belly cast before the babe arrives because with all of this going on i could miss the chance!! I have pictures that i will post up here in a bit....my sister is just uploading them for me!!

Don't feel bad about this because with my DP home I have been having naps and my two children have been saying they miss me!!! I have been super irritable so even the time I do spend with them i get very grouchy and i am sure they can tell i am a bit annoyed by everything.....this morning i told DP that i felt awful for the kids because a huge change is happening and there mom is being a huge b*tch....he told me not to worry about it, that he plays and has fun with them etc.....I have to stop so today is just about them!!!!!!! (like it should be) One day at a time!!! It will all be over soon!!
