Yesterday I started to get regular contractions (8 minutes apart) and then they slowed down to 20/30. Been that way all night & all today. About 2 hours ago, they started back up again (about 12-15 minutes apart) accompanied by back ache, diarrhea and feeling the urge to throw up. I'm hesitant to think this may be it, since last night I was tricked by my little man, but I can't help but feel sort of excited to feel the pain. Crossing my fingers this is either the start of something or that they taper off so I can get some sleep tonight! Last check I was 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. 38+4 today.
