ugh whens it going to end.

my braxton hicks have been getting a lot stronger and timeable but they are still bearable, just slightly annoying, they are really tight and they take my breath away a litte. Will i know when they start to turn into contractions?

they're all in my upper stomach, right underneath my ribs...
aren't contractions more lower?



and last night i woke up and had the worse case of diarrhea EVER.
it was nasty.  


i'm due in exactly one week.
i'm hoping he comes naturally before then.
i'd rather not go over due and have to be induced.


i don't know how dilated or effaced i am, because i haven't been checked in like 2 weeks.  



hopefully i go into labor tonight so i won't have to work this weekend.


ONE MORE WEEK.
my doctor doesn't usually let you go 2 weeks over due before inducing you.
so he'll definitely be here within the next week and a half.....  

I was due Nov 13th, and LO was born (after induction) Nov 13th. So... be patient. Anyways, from what you said, BH and the runs, doesn´t seem it´s gonna take you long... Good luck!

It sounds like real contractions to me.. and no, contractions can be high like that, that just means your pushing the baby down getting ready.. Time your contractions you might be in labor!!

but they don't hurt!  
i heard that they're suppose to be to the point where you can't talk through them or anything...

bring on the paaaain! i want some real contractions.

Some people have very high pain tollerance (sp?). I hope that´s your case

possibly. i guess we'll see! i'll start timing them, and see if they get worse.

I hope to see a birth story with your name on it verrrry soon!

haha thanks! *crosses fingers*

Eh, mine have been doing that all week.. I get a BH every 10 mins, if I walk around I don't notice it as much, I just want them to be the real deal already!   AH!! And I nowI've developed PUPPP in my stretch marks on my stomach, what the eff, as if this last week isn't miserable enough!?

haha. i know. this week is going to SUCK.

If you go into labor before I do, I am going to be so jealous!   My doctor said that if she doesn't come on her own by the 16th that I'll be induced on the 17th but I wish she'd come on her own before that.
