Contraction patterns UPDATED: was in labor: baby girl is here!

charliesmom · Oct 1st, 2009, 02:01 AM

I'm not getting too excited but so far, there's some sort of an irregular "pattern" in my Braxton Hicks contractions tonight:

All p.m.:
8:20, 8:30, 8:45, 9:45, 10:35, 10:44

It's 11pm now and I haven't gotten another one. But there was a bit of dull backache with the last one. Very very dull backache. Wonder if this is any progress.

I haven't lost my mucus plug. Since last Friday, cervix is still high and not dilated, and she has not engaged my pelvis.

I've been having cramps for a few days now and they're coming about like that. There's always back pain with them. I actually went to L&D the other night just to make sure I wasn't in labour since I counted about 15 in 2 hours. They say I'm not having contractions but these cramps sure are bugging the hell out of me. They're getting more painful all the time. Thank goodness I see the doc tomorrow. I'm hoping he'll check me out to make sure I'm not trying to go into labour.

Updating because I've had more...

11:30, 11:35, 11:45, 12:01, 12:14, 12:34, 12:45.... they are starting to get a bit more than just "uncomfortable".

I'm definitely in early labor. Been contracting the entire night but slept through most of them as they're not too painful yet. I noticed some spotting this morning.
