So I've been up since 4 am Ca time. I felt the urge to go #2 so I go then go back to bed. Still feel the urge and go some more. I go back to bed and I just feel crampy like menstrual cramps. Then I start noticing the cramps coming and going. It's now 7 am and I'm still feeling them. They hurt and are mainly hurting my lower back. They last about 60 seconds and coming on every 5-7 minutes. Is this the start of the real deal? Gosh I hope this isn't false labor.
-
I think so! My friend's labor started out like that and she had her baby a few hours later! Good luck!!!
-
Sounds like labour to me!
-
Sounds like it!! How exciting
-
It does sound like it! Especially starting with a BM, that's really common, for your body to empty you out for the start of labor.
Good luck! -
Sounds like it to me. Good luck mama!
-
Eee!! sounds like it could be labor! I would say see if the pain gets more intense? I've heard real contractions pick up in intensity over time. So exciting!! Maybe call your doula?
-
Omg! Exciting!! I guess just see if the cramping stays regular an gets closer together!! Did you call the docs office??
-
Had some more BM (sorry if TMI) texted my doula. She said to take a shower to see if they go away. Definitely had some in the shower but they are not as painful in the shower and moving around compared to lying down. I'm a little in denial that this could be the real thing! Wish me luck!
-
Sounds like you're going to have a baby today! Congrats mama.
-
Good luck!!!
-
ooooo, good luck!!! Sounds like it's time
-
From all of my experiences of labor (haha) I say this is it! I *hope* this is it!!! I desperately need to see baby pics from some October mamas so I hope today is your baby's birthday!
-
Good luck!!!!
-
Good Luck!!!!
-
Good luck and enjoy!
-
Good luck! So exciting!
-
Good luck! You sound like me. I was convinced I was having false labor until I hit transition! I didn't want any vaginal exams so I had no idea I was so far along.
-
sounds like it!! exciting!
-
Good luck! I think you'll be meeting your LO soon!
-
Sounds like it! The Shower helped me for pain too in the beginning!! Yay!!!!!
-
Good luck!
-
Good luck!
-
Good luck!!!!
-
I know this started over 9 hours ago for you but my sister is going through the exact same symptoms as you (since this morning as well!)! Good luck!!!
-
Good luck!!
-
Good luck!!!!!
