Hey, my name's .Cat, i'm 18. I used to hang around here quite a bit, but all the incredibly viruses kept me away. Anywho, i'm 39 weeks and i'm in early labor. I guess I just needed to share that with someone. I've been waiting for this for a while now, so its exciting. I just talked to my midwife, and I guess i'm just suppose to sit around and wait, and everyone is at work so I got on here. Now i'm rambling, but if anyone wants to talk or if there's anyone on whos at the end of their pregnancy and wants to chat..Let me know. Peace.

Yeah. Its actually really weird because last night really late I started getting a new kind of back pain. It would start right in my lower back and start out really mild and build up till it got really intense and at they same time i'd get what felt like I was having a painful braxton hicks. It kept waking me up. But I was only getting one like every hour. Anyway. It kept up ,most of today so about 2 hours ago I called my midwife just to check in and she said it 's most likely early labor. But they'll need to get much closer together obviously. I'm hoping this is the real thing, just to get it over with. I was check wednesday and I was only 1 cm dialted but already about 50% effaced, so this could be it...We'll see...
