So many contractions!

[chillybean]

I don't remember ever having so many contractions like I have these last few weeks, and they seem to be intensifying. Sometimes they actually hurt and I can feel the downward pressure. I had one today that lasted like 5 minutes it seemed. Ahhh. I have 4 weeks to go and I pray baby doesn't show TOO early cuz I am committed to a few things I don't want to reschedule! But whatever God decides right? Anyone have a lot of contractions but still make it to their due date? I've had two come one week early and one come on time.

Ooooh, contractions! I haven't had any yet, but this is my first babe.

Maybe you just need to lessen your physical activity a bit and drink more water to keep baby in there for a couple more weeks? Total stab in the dark from a first-time mom but *hugs* as we finish out these last few weeks together!

Just take it easy! Like Beth said drink lots of water,braxton hicks can hurt a lot when your dehydrated.

Could you send those contractions my way?

lol I'll send ya mine, too, KillerV!! I had contractions for about a minute and a half at 2AM yesterday, it was kinda scary!! I was also wondering if that would make him come early, especially since he's dropped into my pelvis.

lol Beth and Killer V! I can just hear the excitement when I said "contractions"! I'll pray you get yours soon V, and Beth, I bet you'll go before me! Hugs! Its been fun being your almost-due-date-buddy.

I probably should slow down a bit but I don't feel like I'm doing that much, lol. Its hard to slow down chasing three little boys, nesting and working from home at the same time! I'm going to have to learn to say no to people too. But its mostly me... so many things I want to do.

I thought of the water today. Its gotten really hot here and I probably need more, though I feel like I'm drinking all day long! And peeing too .

Mississippi, the contractions CAN be scary! So can the kicking I find. This baby wants OUT I know it.

Can't wait till we all have our beautiful bundles to love and cherish!
