I know I am not actually in labor. I KNOW that. Any contractions or Braxton Hicks feelings I get is accompanied with baby girls movement. Like I’ll feel a strong tightening in my pelvis but then a kick in my ribs.

I also know I’m not in labor because I haven’t lost my mucus plug or had a bloody show and my water hasn’t done anything. Have I been extra ‘juicy’ down there last couple days? Yes, but being almost 38 weeks pregnant, that’s to be expected.

It’s just frustrating because on the one hand you have people telling you you’ll just ‘know’ when you’re in labor but there’s also a lot of people I know who said they didn’t realize they were in labor until it was time to push!

I’m annoyed because I have nothing to compare it to, and everyone’s experience and pain threshold is different which makes it even harder to try and compare what I’m feeling to anything or anyone.

I really hope that when it is officially time that I will just ‘know’ and that I’ll have that aha moment of ‘oh wow that’s what they were talking about’.

Anyhoo, if you stayed, thank you so much! Hope you’re enjoying the last couple weeks of pregnancy! We’re in the home stretch!🥰
