I was having contractions for five hours, they were very intense the last couple hours. Obviously not unbeaeable because I fell asleep. When I woke up an hour later, I still have discomfort but no more consistent contractions. I really thought we would be meeting out baby soon.

The contractions would start as a tightening then become a mentral like cramp from my groin to mid thigh and half way up my back. It was a wave of pain that eased in and out. Just as described by many people. They hurt like hell.
