K im sure its nothing.. But on and off today ive been feeling 'crampy' almost just a groggy lower stomach feeling like when im on my period. No contractions or anything like that..And the cramps dont hurt very much, and like I said its mostly a groggy feeling. I cant put it into words.. Think tihs could mean something or should I stop worrying abuot every tiny feeling. Lol

Lol! Dont worry ur just like me. I have that sometimes and I always think its gas or somethin but I think its the uterus making small contractions. It could be those early early labour contractions (u know where some women feel it like 5 days before they go into labour.. Kinda like how chrissy started feelin it.) if the pain gets bad and u have trouble breathing or talking, then go down to the hospital but if it gets more painful and ur not sure, call ur doc in case. Im sure it wont bother her to help u out!

K I hope so. I really dont think im going into labor or anything. On my way home I got 2 more braxton hicks, accompanied by that crampy feeling. But thats was a half hour ago and nothing sence. Im sure my body is just practicing for the real thing~ I hope* I cant have him between the 5th and 7th. That would be terrible because my parents and my doctor are all out of town those days ! I doubt I will but I cant wait till those days are passed so I dont have to worry about it!

Lol.....

O man!! I will have him check me next time. I guess I will just have to ask him because I dont think he does unless im having contractions. Lol I know, I dont think I can even imagine what kind of pain i'll be in! Im still freaking out.. Because of my phobia! (if u dont know, I have a phobia about that 'area' I am too scared to even use a tampon!) lol I know people are scared of course of labor.. .But man, I had a yeast infection from being on antibiotics (im super sensitive to them) anyhow, I couldnt even use the monistat because I was so scared and would freak out when I tried to put it in and those tubes are tiny! I dont know how ive had sex ! Lol
