Can we talk Braxton Hicks?
Anyone get them?
Last night about an hour after falling asleep I wake up to pain. Mostly back pain that shot around my tummy. I got up walled around, didn't really help. Felt like cramps, low at times, up higher at others. I tried to time it but not sure if I count the back pain or just the front. The front was every 6 mins and lasted 30 seconds.
I decided to sleep and if it woke me up then it was worth tracking. I only woke up at 1 then 3. Just one stab of pain, mostly cramping.
Was that BH? I called in sick so I can sleep in. I'm going in around 9 to wrap things up just in case. I still have the lower back pain, and the very low cramping. I have an appt at 3. My NST will show contractions if I'm having them. But wondering if anyone felt this until then.

@s517 - I've been drinking 100-120 oz a day. Just because I just sip away all day.
Haha I know it's a long process and it's good to do a lot of it at home. I've just been reading all these birth stories on my BMB and it was like "went to my reg appt, and they admitted me... here's my baby!". I just want to be prepared. I think Hunter thought I was moving out.
Jeff wanted me to take a bath last night. I told him - What if my water breaks?! I won't know!!!
Then my mom told me I'm not allowed to eat once contractions started. I'm like Um... I don't think so mama! But I heard I get juice/ice cream if my BS gets too low while in labor. So I have that. I've been feel nauseous after I eat since dinner yesterday.
well it could happen that way Mana, but I went to my appt. and she said we're inducing you at 2am. there are so many different ways it could go.
Its baby time and I cannot wait to meet Eliza!! aahhh.
also, pack food in your bags. you'll want something to eat as soon as she's born and it may not be easy to get food. I was STARVING by the time I gave birth and I was soo soo happy to have snacks.

She told me it could be soon or weeks. She said only track if they take my breath or I can't talk through them. So, we wait...
