I know what everyone says, "You'll just know" but when you're an anxious, ftm, who never expected to become pregnant, it doesn't seem as plausible that you'll "Just know".

I sit here, feeling contractions every five minutes... it's been over an hour... they are painful but not unbearable... I had sex earlier, but I was able to sleep through many of the contractions until about an hour ago.

But am I in labor? Am I even ready to call L&D; and ask? Idk. Because it feels impossible to say. And the fear of being wrong, being disappointed or embarrassed... I don't want to deal with that feeling.

So here I'm sitting... I don't just know. But if I'm supposed to, than maybe this can't be labor.
