Ok for the past like week or two ive been getting pretty bad lower back pain, and my braxton hicks have been getting more often and more painful (well not really painful, but like you can feel it more)... Ok well today and yesturday the back pain got 10 times worse, last night I had 1 strong contraction that I dont think was a braxton hicks (it started with a pain in my lower back and then got really painful in my stomach, and spread down my leg)... Well ok tonight I was just sittin here reading a book and out of no where I got really dizzy and really warm... A couple minutes later I got sick to my stomach. After I got done pukin I still felt all crappy, and then I started getting more braxton hicks, and then out of no where I get 3 strong contractions, and I felt like I had to take the biggest crap in the world, not to mention I had to pee twice in a matter of 10 minutes.(tmi, sorry). Its been an hour since its all began, I havent felt a strong contraction for about 15 minutes now, but ive been getting lots of mild braxton hicks. I dont feel dizzy or nauseas anymore, but I dont know what was going on. ~oh nevermind, another strong contraction~.... What do you think is going on? Could I be going into labor? Or soon? I dont know what I should do. Im only 35 weeks, would it be ok for me to go into labor? My doctor said he was gonna start checkin me for dialation and crap at my next appt, which is this thursday.

It would be ok to go into labor now, safer to go in later, but it woould be alright now. I am not sure if that is what is going on though...... Hmmm. If it would continue girl i'd call the doc tomorrow~

Hey hun I hope ur okay still! It would be alright for u to go into labor now probably. But hopefully ur little babe will wait till at least 37 weeks because its safer then but they only come when they want so guess we'll wait and see*

Yea im ok, im feeling better than I was before. Its just once in a while I will get a strong contraction. Me and kevin are going to sleep in the living room on the futon (lol, even though hes too tall for it) so I can sit up and play the sims and start timing these contractions, just so I can have a peice of mind wether or not they are regular. If they are I think im gonna call the doc tomorrow. I want her to wait at least another 2 weeks. I heard that even some babies born at 37 weeks dont have mature enough lungs. I really dont want to have to leave her in the hospital until shes big enough Crying or Very sad

Just An Update
Ok this morning I woke up with a bad pain in my groin(lol I dunno if I ever used that word before) and my back was hurtin bad. I havent been online much lately, but I will come on periodicaly to update so if anyone cares to know. I think she might be coming soon though. A couple weeks back kevin said something about the 21st of august... Well my dad said to my mom that he thought I was due around the 21st of may, and my mom ended up having me on may 22nd, so maybe its this thing where the fathers can somehow just have a feeling about around the time.... But anyways, when I layed down last night to start timing I dunno if the bh eased up, or if I was just too involved in my game to notice them (meanin there might have been very mild ones I didnt notice cuz I wasnt paying any attention). Well im gonna go back to sleep now, its only like 7:15 am. Nighty night!

Awww hun I know ur pain! I had to deal with that since I was 36 weeks... And I kept thinkin it was the real deal and I was goin into labour.. And it turned out she was a week late. Sometimes r body's just preparing well ahead of time for the labour.. Dont fret too much about it. Trust me, I kept thinkin it was real, but u will know when its real!!!! Maybe all this practicing ahead of time will make way for u to have an easy labour Smile
