Pretty sure I'm in the early stages of labor. Me and hubby DTD last night and around 5pm I started having contractions.

They would get strong and close but nothing I couldn't handle. They had a pattern for about 3 hours and eventually fizzled out to every 10 minutes or so (which has happened for the past 2 days so I held off calling the doctor).

BUT the difference now is that my contractions lasted all through the night. I hardly got any sleep. Picking up and getting closer together than spacing out. But they hurt!

This morning I woke up and I feel like I've been punched in the vag. My Pubic bone is sooooo sore lol but i am still getting contractions. YAY! They're every 3-5 minutes but they're not painful at all. Just a bit uncomfortable.. Baby is moving just fine so I'm not concerned about that or anything.

I'm hoping this is it. It's been a long ride. Multiple trips to L&D; to stop preterm labor since 28 weeks. I've been having dreams the past few days that I'm actually delivering or my water breaks so I think my body knows it's coming soon.

I'm 38 weeks today. (My first was born at 37/5) I was 4-5 cm and 70% effaced when I was in L&D; 2 days ago. (With so many trips to the hospital and with it being 45 minutes away and having to deal with getting your 18 month old out in the cold, you learn to check your own cervix.And I'm bigger than I was on Saturday so I'm hoping I'm a 5 now at least!!!)

As I was writing this I just got a really strong contraction and it hurt all the way through my butt and hips and up my back.

Pray with me that this is it!!! I'm so ready to meet my baby boy!!!!!!!
