I had some pretty intense contractions this morning but they stopped or lightened up.. I'm not sure, but I get so excited when I start contracting because it's so close to time and I'm beyond ready to hold my baby boy, but I get so discouraged when my contractions stop because I want to hold my sweet boy! I still have lots of pressure and I'm really uncomfortable and my back and hips hurt...
