First pregnancy & Braxton hicks

28 weeks as of yesterday, and I think I had my first bh contractions last night. They weren't as bad as I was anticipating, but i definitely felt things tense up... most of the pain I felt was in my back, so now I'm worried when I go into labor it will be all back labor lol. I'm hesitant to get an epidural, because I really dont want a needle in my spine, but I'm trying to take it all as it comes and not have any expectations.

I also haven't hit that point of "get this baby out of me" the way most women seem to, which may come later. My husband and I tried so hard to get this little girl here, so even when she moves all day and night and makes me uncomfortable, I still smile through it all and I'm happy to feel those pains because it's been worth it. However, I do want to meet her asap so I'm impatiently waiting for labor for that reason. I'm just ready to hold her in my arms and to see my husband become a daddy to this precious girl. So with that being said, if November could hurry up like the rest of this year has, then that would be great! Lol
