Stop and go, stop and go! For 2 days straight i’ve been getting contractions that were getting more persistent. This afternoon, around 4pm, they got real strong and were about 7 minutes apart, lasting 40 seconds so I was like omg the baby is coming and I was crying and freaking out, asking my mom if it was going to hurt a lot. And I asked my dad if he would help me and cried for my boyfriend not to leave my side. We left for the hospital and when we got there the nurse said I was only 60% effaced and 1 cm dilated and my water was still intact. She said that I what I was having was false labor contractions threw my back which is more painful that through the front. She said that the baby won’t be here anytime today or tomorrow so to go home and get rest! I just though I would let you all know!
