I've been having real contractions since around 28 weeks, I'm now 34 weeks. They started out at just a few a day, then turned into 2 every 10 minutes. In the last 2 weeks they have gotten so painful and so close together, but the last few days it feels like if the contractions get any stronger at all then my water will burst. They tend to be 2 minutes apart, then 4, then I'll get a 10 or so minute break and have a few back to back. I clearly remember having these with my son just the day before my water ruptured and I went into labor. I was 39 weeks with him, so I encouraged the contractions to get stronger by bouncing on a ball. It worked, but of course I'm not going to encourage labor just yet since I'm still so early, but I can't help but feel like the time is coming very soon. The contractions being irregular don't mean anything with me either. While in labor with my son, they were not regular at all and yet I still gave birth.

Anyway, is anyone else experiencing anything like this?
