Yesterday I had hours of prelabor off and on from about 4:30 am till about 4:00 pm. The contractions got stronger, but were very irregular. I'd have 3 or 4 in an hour and then they'd disappear for an hour and then come back. Today I feel like I was in a fight. After the contractions went away, I had horrible heartburn last night that got rid of what little I ate yesterday. Let's just say that yesterday was NOT pleasant.
Our doula tried some herbal remedies to get the contractions more regular. They made the contractions stronger, but didn't help the rhythm. We'll see what happens today. I woke up with Braxton Hicks which feel more like menstrual cramps. Maybe I'll get some more contractions today. I kinda hope so, but I'd kinda rather opt for some rest instead. I also hope that next time they are regular and don't keep me guessing all day. Sigh… the anticipation is the killer in these last few days. I'm sure in a couple weeks I'll want to stuff him back in so I can sleep! *lol*
