I think I actually had one today. OK, maybe it was my second--I may have had one a day or two ago, not that I'm thinking about it. I've been having these tightening ones that don't hurt "down there" for a while now, but this was similar and started hurting in all the right places. It was mild, compared to being in real labor, and I wasn't really aware of what it might be until most of the way through.
I am measuring 41 centimeters (the measurement in centimeters, for those of you who don't know is supposed to correspond to the week of pregnancy), although I am only 38 weeks. That would be part of why people ask if I'm having twins. (Happens with every kid.)
I've been feeling kinda yucky this afternoon, and just now, when I was up sweeping up under the dinner table, I thought I felt the tightening with the hurting (just a little, but in the right place) again--so would that be #2.5?) I've never had a labor start like this, but then, the other two started completely different from each other anyway.
It would be quite a coincidence if I had Baby tomorrow. But I'll tell you why tomorrow. Unless, of course, I am otherwise occupied nursing a newborn.

Thank you for indulging them. :)
Goodness!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have easy, steady prodromal labor and then...
Ta Daa! Baby!
Prodromal?
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't labor. Just wishful thinking. :)
From my third birth on, I had that kind of contraction action for at least a week or 2. I think it made the labors move much faster once it was true labor.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling well.
Mary, I was hoping this might speed things up a bit when it gets to be "time." Mine aren't THAT long
ReplyDelete(and once they actually turn into active labor, it's only a matter of a few hours), but I'd sure like to do it in less than 10 or 16hrs, like the last two.
Still feel well, otherwise. :)
