Got woke up at 4:45 this morning with back labor. I've had a lot of scares lately but when they say "when it's the real deal, you'll know" they are right!! I don't know how I ever forgot the pain of a real contraction! It was so bad I was trembling in pain & couldn't breathe through them. I almost went to the hospital, but decided since I have an appt today at 1 & it was so early in the morning that I would try to drink some water & wait it out. I drank 2 bottles of water as fast as I could without getting sick & in about 2 hours they slowed down. Still having some contractions, but they don't hurt nearly as bad! So I don't know if I was dehydrated or what, but we'll see! Might be my time soon ladies! Fingers crossed! 😊
