Well, I may be having a baby soon, so I would appreciate any good thoughts you can send my way!
I went in for a regular appointment yesterday, and apparently I had been having contractions for awhile without even noticing. My midwife watched it happen as she was about to measure me, and told me that's what it was. She said if I have 6-8 in an hour then to go into the hospital, and I got up to 5 in 40 minutes this morning before they subsided!
I have been told by literally EVERYONE I've spoken to that I would know when I was having a contraction, because it would stop me in my tracks and be so incredibly painful. But I haven't felt anything at all! Like, I didn't even notice them unless I held my hand on my stomach. They have gotten a little stronger though and now I can feel my stomach tightening without my hand being there. My midwife told yesterday that sometimes women don't feel anything when they go into preterm labor, and that's apart of what makes it so dangerous.
So 😳 Wish me luck! I guess I'll be washing Emberlyn's clothes and packing the hospital bag today!
