This is how clueless i am, but the last 1-2 hours, I've been having contractions. I felt "'weird" after dinner, like hot and weird and had to go to bed immediately. I felt better and did some laundry but I'm having painful getting more so contractions every 4 minutes or so. How can I do from false labor to contractions every 4 minutes? It's been going on for close to 2 hours... I'm having trouble with them not "hurting" enough, thanks pitocin....so I'm not sure what I should do....I can't lie down, it makes it worse. Leaning over my kitchen counter feels good...

: Thank GOD, I decided to leave the house and get to the hospital before the inlaws arrived! Driving 30 minutes in the rain, during transition squished in the front seat? Not fun. We arrived a little before 3am and Samuel William was born at 4:07, all natural in the birth tub. He weighed in a 9#10ounces and is 21.5 inches long. His shoulder did get stuck, which was complicated by a very tight an short cord wrapped firmly around his neck. He wasn't breathing when he came out so they had to cut his cord and give him some O2, but he pinked up quickly and is nursing great! We are going home later this afternoon. I have NO tears, no skid marks, nothing! Aside from some cramps I feel great! I simply cannot believe how fast it went. I'm so relieved though it's over!:
