So most of you prolly saw on my other post that I didnt exactly have the appointment I wanted yesterday...so I went home and tried about everything I could think of to start labor (listed them all in my other post).
Well since I woke up today I have been having these weird pains. They arent really like contractions I have had before. My contractions I have had before are more cramp like and achey and there really is no pattern or timing to them, but they hurt. What I am feeling now is different. It starts in my sides and slowly wraps around to my tummy, but it doesnt go higher than my belly button. And it doesnt really feel like a cramp, it is more of a pulling feeling. It doesnt really hurt either, it is just more uncomfortable. And I can time whatever this is and there is kind of a pattern. They are about 8-9 minutes apart and last about 30 seconds. They really dont seem like they should be contractions to me, but idk what else they can be...any thoughts?

I think your baby is wanting to be born sooner rather than later

I definitely think it could be early labor and that something is going to happen in the next few days. Mine were really weird the 2 days before I had her and they sound kind of similar to what you were feeling. KUP girl!

I can't answer your question though as my water broke before I EVER had the first contraction.

Still no baby yet! Contractions all day and night yesterday and then they died off this afternoon. We will see if they come back. I walked a ton at the mall and am bouncing on my exercise ball soon!
