For the last three weeks I've been having the period feeling cramps that I remember from labor. Today I keep getting random sharp pains deep in my lower belly. They come and go at random, but don't last long at all. Could those be real contractions? Or is it likely something else? I guess I just don't know if all contractions are the same or not. Thanks in advance

is it low like in your cervix? i know when i was walking around in early labor it felt like that (not even necessarily related to contractions at all, just random cervix stretching pains i'm guessing).

Your body is preparing Melaya. You will know. I had an induction the first timew. with dd- i kept thinking - this is it- this is it- when it was- i thought- oh no!!!! this is really it! LOL!

you guys are naming your babies the same name?!

Or is "Marvel" a place holder name, like "Beanlet"? Either way's cool, of course.

 

[Emilie]

yes- i think so too!

 

[aja-belly]

just one marvel.

i am the adoptive mama to be (and if you've noticed his sig as well, shaggydaddy is the adoptive papa to be).

 

[Emilie]

I am adopted. congratulations!
