I'm Currently Feeling:  |  "contractions"
Can somebody please tell me, is a contraction ONLY when your uterus gets hard? I get Braxton hicks alot, so I have an idea of what those contractions are but when I'm dialating it doesn't feel like this, more like CONSTANT diarrhea/period pains that are ABSOLOUTELY HORRIBLE. They don't go away at all.
I know this is when I'm dialating because I tend to lose pieces of my plug when this happens.
So, is labour really like getting CONTRACTIONS or constant period pains? Or are constant period pains contractions? Confused. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Sweetie, when is your next doctor's appointment? Be interesting to see what your gynecologist says about your progress! |

Hopefully if I tell him I had my 'show' he will though! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | My next isn't until thursday... when I told OH what was going on this morning he was all excited and wanted me to call the doctors office and let them know. I pointed out that it was a bit early to do that I thought. |
