Yesterday I started having contraction-like pains around 4pm, and by 8pm I could have SWORN i was having contractions 7-8 minutes apart, lasting almost a minute each. They were these uncomfortable dull aches in my lower abdomen and back and I also had A WHOLE BUNCH of pressure. Mind ya'll, this is my second pregnancy and I remember what contractions are. So I called my obgyn office at around 9pm, told them how I was feeling, and a CNM told me to take a hot shower after drinking a lot of water and laying down to see if the contractions were real.

I did that. But i was so hesitant because, how could they not be real?

Guys these shits stopped.

Like, all night I was tossing and turning waiting to feel more, but no. What I did feel was baby pushing himself lower, so I guess that's something. But no more contractions.

Right now I feel crampy. But Idk. Maybe it's just that I have to poop. Or because I'm cold. But I'm not getting my hopes up and thinking I'm about to have this baby, when I'm not.

It's so disappointing 😩😩😩😩 i'm 4 days away from my original due date (based on Ultrasounds, the other due date based on my lmp is 8 days away). My first was exactly a week early. Guys, I don't want to carry past my due date(s). I'm so exhausted from this pregnancy.

I have my appt today, so hopefully she wants to check my cervix or something to let me know how things are advancing.
