I had Braxton Hicks contractions on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Then I started waking up every 10 minutes or so with contractions about 2:00 this morning. That lasted about an hour before I couldn't drift off to sleep between them any more. They've been coming closer together for the past 30 minutes. I'm pretty sure we're reaching the 5 minute apart zone, but they are just not as painful as I imagined. Guess, we'll give it another 30 minutes and see! I just don't want to get my DH up and go to the hospital, just to have to turn around again : )

I'm due on Wednesday, according to the estimate based on my menstrual cycle, but I just realized that today is August 25th...which is exactly 40 weeks from when we are certain we conceived!

** Apparently it's not it yet ***

I was up for about two hours...until 5:00. They were 5 or 6 minutes apart for a good hour, but then they started getting more erratic again. Once they got to 10 minutes apart, I decided to try sleeping in between them again (gotta conserve that energy). They were still going like that until 8:00 and then started coming closer together. So, I'm back up!

this is what my doctor told me.... I don't if it is what they all do. My Dr told me to eat and drink something relax put my feet up or lay down and if they didn't go away in an hour to go into the hospital.
