A wild night. Was that some sort of labor?!

So I think I experienced some sort of falso or pre Labor yesterday into this morning.

My usual: I almost always have lower back pain with this pregnancy. It gets worse as the day goes on so I do my best to keep it supported and to not irritate it.

Yesterday was a pretty normal day but changed as the day went on.

Maybe a little more back and side pain. I did notice that baby’s kicks were a little stronger and a bit painful.

My husband came home from work around 9:30 pm and randomly asks if I’d had any contractions. I responded by telling him how I was feeling that day and how I don’t think I have had contractions but I also don’t know what a contraction feels like! I responded innocently describing my day and experience... but then it made me think! Maybe it is some back labor according to the internet. “Probably not though, right?” I told myself

Then it was time for sleeping. I laid down in bed to try to rest. I sleep very easily and I was having a bit of a time falling to sleep.

My sides were hurting with sharp pain. I felt like if I

moved they would just tense up and fall off lol almost like a leg cramp. I had my husband help me go to the bathroom because straining to get up seemed like the wrong thing to do at the time.

I spent the whole night and morning trying to get the perfect position and not move. Early this morning I even carefully came out and sat in the recliner because I thought I could get better support and not disturb me sleeping husband.

Same thing... just tried to be still, supported, and sleep in this chair.

Then I texted a friend to ask her opinion about what was going on. I think I had enough rest at this point too.

That gave me the confidence to try to get up! I was afraid.

I got up and feel a pretty normal amount of pain and almost a high from feeling better! No sharp side pains.

Perhaps it was some sort of false or pre term labor!!?? Maybe it was just crazy cramps??

When I look back on the night... it was terrible and long. I was just trying to sleep it away. Didn’t think much of it in the moment.

Anyway. Thought I’d share. FTM :)

Would love to hear from others!
