Last night I started having lots of contractions, but they are pre-labor or Braxton-Hicks. Man, these are *strong* though! They wrap around to my back and everything. I started contracting with Rhiannon two weeks before she was born - they were 7 minutes apart for a week, then they stopped. I hope these don't go on for a freakin' week (and they're only 5 minutes apart), it's only been 14 hours or so and I'm ready for them to stop. Either stop, or get this show on the road! Argh! With Rhia, my water finally just broke, then active labor started. It was great, because then I knew that was "it", there was no guesswork. Although experience is nice, because this time I do know it's just prep work. But these are a lot more uncomfortable than the ones with Rhia. I'll check in again if anything changes. I have to get my butt to Target today and pick up the rest of the supplies I'll need for the birth! Yikes!
