sounds like it

@arivera64, I guess I'm just wondering if what I'm describing are contractions because I've never had natural ones before

If you can't focus then take a day off. Otherwise, the worse that will happen is you need to leave work early. There's really no right or wrong answer mama. Do what you feel comfortable with

@beanieboo, @mmorrell15 they aren't like the contractions I had on pitocin. But I can still feel them coming on like contractions. They are inconsistent at this point but have had them since 1 am. I work an 11 hour shift and I'm afraid I'll go into full blown labor there if I go into today. They say you'll know when they are real and this is definitely different than any I've felt the entire pregnancy. Not full belly pain like a contraction but a wave of pain below the belly button. @arivera64 need your doula knowledge :/

I would stay at home and rest.

id say take it off :)
