Contractions!

I’ve been having contractions off and on since 7pm last night. They’ve worked me up every hour but I’m trying to rest. I’ve been told that a true contraction is one you can barely breathe and talk through so I’m trying to wait until I get there but phew some of these suckers are hitting hard! Timing is inconsistent (some every 5-7 minutes then slowing down to every 20 minutes) so it’s really hard for me to gage appropriately. Also major diarrhea and the back cramping is no joke! Hopefully this is it and I go into natural labor before our scheduled induction Monday morning!
