What is my body doing?

[stacey0402]

I've been sleeping pretty well lately, or at least as well as one can expect when you're this uncomfortable! Well, last night was terrible. I woke up 6 times in 7 hours with very crampy BH contractions. These were the kind that start in your back and wrap around to your lower abdomen. They only lasted for maybe 30 seconds, and while lying (miserably) awake I'd get a couple before drifting back off to sleep.

Today I feel really sore. I've had probably 1 of these types of contractions every hour today. I don't get it. I haven't lost my plug (I always giggle a little when I say that) and no bloody show. I'm sure this isn't really labor, but I've never experienced this before. I need it to go away or get much worse I am waddling so bad too. Wah.

Beats me! I have been having an awful time sleeping lately too, after about a week of blissfully uninterrupted nights where I didn't really even have to get up to go pee! Last night there were some contractions too, and same here with no plug, no show, no nothing. Frankly, I'm quite happy to NOT go into labour just yet, but would like to get a few more weeks of rest before the years of sleeplessness begins!

Those sound like real contrax to me, not BH. If they are crampy and wrapping around your back then I think they're out of the league of BH and into the league of approaching the real thing!

I don't know which kid you're on but I didn't lose my plug with DD until I was in transition so that doesnt' mean anything!

I never loose my plug or have bloody show, this is #6 for me
However, those do sound more like real contractions.......but not labor yet.

Hang in there!

hmmm...maybe! For the last few hours my back has been killing me. I don't want to think about it, because if I still have weeks left and I start thinking I only have a few days left, I'll be one cranky pregnant chick next month I can tell he's very low, and that's new within the last few days. I think maybe its a combination of increased pressure and my irritable uterus. I'll ask my OB to check me on Wed. I have to decide if I am going to make a 6 hour drive on May 4 (coming back the 6th) for my best friend's wedding, so it would be good to know where I'm at now and then again right before I leave. My girls are her flower girls and I am the maid of honor and it totally sucks.
