Well i'm not too sure, but it sounds like
it could be labour. Or braxton hicks
contracions. If your worried, you should
definitely call your doctor!! Best of
luck hunny!! <3

Yes, this could be labor. Not braxton
hicks. Sounds like your baby may be sunny
side up. Welcome to back labor, my
dear.
Advice, get a crockpot, fill it with hot
water, turn it on high and put some wash
clothes in it. Put it near where you will
be laboring for a long time (i brought
mine to the hospital!). Your birth coach
can take a washcloth out and put it on
your back where the pain is (if high is
too hot, turn the crockpot to low!) while
he rubs it.
Right, it does not take the pain away -
only an epidural or birth is going to do
that. But this can provide some relief.
Good luck!!

And, believe it or not, you should keep
walking!! Gravitiy is the best thing for
labor right now! Get that baby moving
down into your pelvis to put pressure on
your cervix. More pressure on your cervix
means faster dilating.
A birth ball (or an exercise ball) is also
an excellent way to help the baby descend
into the birth canal! Sit on the ball and
rotate your hips slowly, as if you were
doing the hula hoop.

Good luck! Good luck!
Don't tire yourself out too much. Labor
can be long and very exhausting in itself
and your body will work against you if you
aren't rested up.
Good luck!

it will happen soon. Don't stop doing the
things you are doing! That birth ball,
doing the hula circles with your hips, is
most excellent for bringing that baby
down. And down is where you want it!!
When you go into labor, the more of your
labor you can spend in a
sitting/walking/upright position the
better.
Good luck!

Girl you might wana lay off of the spicey
foods!!! When labor does, you'll regret
it horribly!! Hahahaha....Seriously!! I
tried to eat some popeyes(spicy shrimp)
while I was labouring at home, and when I
started pushing at the hospital, I had
baaad heartburn/reflux from the popeyes!
I thought I was gonna start puking, so I
was minchin on .Rolaids during
contractions!!
Good luck girl! This is soooo exciting.
I remember when I posted on the forum that
I thought I was in labor and sure enough
about 5 hours later, I had her!!
