i doubt i'm in labor since my ctx are super mild, but am having this weird and horrible pain/pressure somewhere in my pelvis...
have been voiding for the last 2 days, no obvious mucus plug, no bloody show, dtd this morning. have been feeling plenty of pressure and twinges in what i'd guess as my cervical area all day. also having mild ctx all day, which increased from painless tightenings to crampiness after going for a walk this evening. so there's a general idea of what state i'm in. oh, i'm 39w 5d (or 6d i guess since its now saturday) and on monday was very ripe and effacing, but not dilated.
i've been having sort of a weird soreness in my pelvis all week. like when i'm trying to use my legs to scoot myself out of the middle of our bed, kinda of like my crotch is sore. it's really bad tonight, when i got up to pee i could hardly walk for a couple steps. even after that it was this horrible achiness somewhere in my pelvis in the front under my belly (btw baby is very low) and also in my lower back. when i went to bed i just lay there feeling all achey and couldn't sleep till dh finally came to bed and rubbed my lower back some. but i woke up 2 hours later, still achey and with a hard belly. i peed and went back to sleep. but woke up in an hour, still achey and with a hard belly. tried peeing again hoping to feel some relief from the pressure, but no such luck.
so now i'm sitting here drinking water and looking for help. hmm, i notice that my ctx do have a pattern- actually swelling and fading vs. just general tightness or crampiness. 20 sec long and coming every 3-4 min. though still quite mild compared to what i know is coming. in early labor with ds my ctx got to be a minute apart and 30 sec long and only got me to 1cm! (then they spaced out for 10 hours before picking back up). could i be in early labor?!? come on baby, mama is ready to hold you!

Getting you ready for the big day. Probably starting to dialate and efface your cervix a little and making labor easier!
: NNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! You must be exhausted. I can't imagine surving on 5 hours sleep every night for weeks. How far along are you? I'm 40 weeks todya.
