28-10-2009 - I should know this stuff...

My mood while writing this blog: Hmmm.....

---

4:41am today:
Lower back pains wake me out of my already broken slumber.
This felt like what I'd remembered - early labor pains.
I used the bathroom and started timing.
Every 5 minutes, on the button.
I showered and blow dried and prepared myself mentally, in case this was IT.
Hubby awoke and wanted to take me to the ER immediately but I knew that we had to have a progressive pattern, hence, getting stronger with time, and closer together, in spite of activity.

We had breakfast, timing.
Timed, timed - contractions/pains were every 5 minutes and I was certain that this would be the day baby would be born. I checked the date - October 28, 2009. Wow, a month early??

7:25am today:
Pains began to lessen and the intervals got irregular and farther apart in timing.
I called my doctor's call back service, but I had already known that if they decrease intensity and are irregular, that they are labeled 'false'.

11:00am today:
I went to nap to make up for my broken night. No pains awoke me.

5:20pm today:
I am still getting pains in my lower and lots of abdominal tightening/contractions but no bloody show or any fluid leakage.
I am not uncomfortable and can function normally with it.
Baby is probably thinking "Let me outta here!!!!" :)

I know when it's the real deal, there'll be no mistaking it.
But, as this is my fourth time - I SHOULD KNOW THESE THINGS.....right?
