36 weeks, 4 days…. labour or just annoying??
12:51am
Ouch… been having contractions all night (actually, since about 1pm today). Starts off as tightening in my uterus, then pain in my back and hips (similar to menstrual cramping). I am using a timer and they are about 5 min. long and about 8-10 min. apart right now.
Poor DH was worried, but went to work anyways (it’s a 2 min. drive from our house)…and he said “call me if you decide to have the baby tonight” LOL Yeah right. I’m betting my body is just doing this to me…and the second I go into L&D it will stop. ha! So I’m waiting to see how things go before I think about calling DH home from work…
But ouch! The pain down in my hips is soooo bad!! Oh…and I’ve been having anal pressure (yeah yeah, TMI – but it’s my blog…so there ). Not every time though…just one in ten contractions.
1:44pm
So…I managed to get to sleep for 5 hours (from 8am-1pm…off and on of course) and now my contractions seemed to have disappeared. So I don’t think I’ll be having him today…but I definitley think my body is gearing up for the BIG DAY! Yay!!
Ok… back to my couch… feet are so swollen 
Well. I have to say that since 35 weeks, I have been pretty much walking like a crab because of pressure down there. I know how feckin miserable it is, and the desire to just get bubs out asap. I find the pain worse at night, and the only thing we are allowed to take a paracetamol.
As for the contractions, They sound like BH, BUT i did read that ‘false labour’ is a myth, as these late BH are helping somewhat to soften the cervix. You are probably not far away from meeting little’un now. Could you go to the docs to see if there has been any progress down there? It would perhaps make you feel just slightly better if you know that the CX you have been having have been somewhat ‘productive’ in some way. Anyway, Fingers crossed that all goes well for you and you will be having him soon.
It’s getting close…It’s getting close! Yea!
