Contractions?

Earlier this week LO wasnt moving as much...I got so scared! After a NST confirmation all was good.

Yesterday we walked alot...last night what I think are contractions have been about consistently 5 to 8 minutes apart. They feel like awful cramps. It's been exhausting. Hopefully this means progress? Is anyone else experiencing this? Constant barrage of contractions that dont seen to let up?

Last night night I had very dull contractions but every 12-20 minutes. Nothing strong enough for me yet.

I had a similar day today, went in for my "last appointment" and hadn't been feeling LO all day. They hooked me up to a NST scan and all was great. Of course he started moving and even got the hiccups as soon as I was hooked up. Since the Dr's office I've had terrible back pain, and very bad cramps but nothing timetable yet. I don't know how to tell for sure if their true contractions though so your not alone.

I had my last appointment today as well, and LO wasn't moving. My Dr suggested going home and resting for a hour or so and if I still wasn't feeling anything to head to the hospital for a NST. As soon as they hooked me up they started reading contractions that I wasn't feeling yet. After 3 hours of being hooked up, I was definitely feeling them! They unhooked me and checked me for dilation, and I'm at 2cm. They offered to admit me but I chose to come home. Still feeling them and just waiting it out!

looks like this may be a Christmas baby!
