Q: I Think Signs!!!!!!!

K everyone well im 39 weeks tomorrow! Ive always had braxton hicks but they werent at all painful. Well today all day ive been having contractions (3-4 an hour) so their 15-20 minutes apart tho on average. But ive had a few every hour and they arent too painful, but they cause cramping and sometimes lower back cramping so im thinkin it could be a sign of things starting soon. Maybe not tho, could just be practicing. But only 8 days till im induced anyhow*****

Yep* actually 8 days~ (7 in 2 hours lol! )

they started coming again, not as frequently or as timely or anything and only some of them cause the cramps, some arent painful. So I think my bodies just preparing me and tellin me it will be soon. My mom said she had this too and then all the sudden she went into labor overnite so u never know. I think I might go just before my due date, but if not then I can wait a week , its still not long*

Congrats! Lol doesnt it drive u crazy trying to time them and then they stop and come and stop again? It made me so mad! Lol. Only another week at the most! Know what sucks though? They aren't inducing you until 9 pm at night so you will be in labor all night and losing sleep. (unless ur like me, get drugged up and sleep through youre labor, lol) but if you don't go before I suggest you take that day off work (if u didnt already plan too) and sleep the entire day!!! Lol. Cuz I was in labor at night, and even though I was able to sleep, I was exhausted when it was time to push so I slept another hour and a half! Lol. I'm rambling lol but congrats! Can't wait to see garret matthew!

Lol! Timing sounds hard! My doc told me not to bother with trying to time them becuz I was having so much trouble with that when I got admitted last week. She said once I feel they're close, then to go down and the machine will tell em how far apart they are. Haha! I think my doc knows im lazy and she lets me get away with it lol! I hope ur appt went well! Come on soon and tell us!!!!!!!!!
