Last night starting around 8 I started having what I thought were real contractions or just insanely painful Braxton Hicks that would NOT stop. They kept going, so my husband finally said to call the hospital and see what to do. It turns out I was dehydrated and so I drank a bunch of water and they stopped but, I still have a lot of pressure in my lower abdomen. My mom had the same thing with me and she had me the very next day. Anyone have similar experience? If so, when did you go into real labor?!
