tons of braxton hicks

[gottecat]

I have been having tons of braxton hicks and every time I woke up last night I was tight. my stomach feels like I have done a major ab workout! and oh my back is sore. but more mid than low and my ribs are sore.

ouch! maybe baby was moving down more?

I dunno cause it was happening before I went to bed too. and its still getting tight at almost regular intervals. and I dont really feel more pressure just really sore.

this happened to me big time last weekend and again late this week. i think they were moving the baby down, because my pubic bone hurt like heck the next day. they also (i think) started to dislodge my mucous plug, because i had a TON of discharge the next day. so much so that i thought my water had broken at first, and i even called the OB. but she said to give it a few hours and see if it continued or let up, so i didn't have to go in. and it totally let up, so i'm glad i waited. the next day i had some stringey mucous, which made me realize what was actually happening. tangent, sorry, but if you have a lot of discharge today or tomorrow, it could be that.

either way, exciting! definitely means our bodies are getting ready.

I had a bunch of fake-out contractions last night, and now my belly button area feels bruised. I have NO CLUE how that works, but it's the truth.

gahh my lower back is killing me. and I even took a tylenol and that usually takes care of it for me. but nope its still just killing me.
