Whining
Contractions have become a nightly event lately, but irregular and annoying ones. Sunday afternoon I started having contractions that were just enough different from my normal BH that I could notice them without having to be feeling my belly. That lasted from 3pm to about 3am (with contractions going from 5 min to up to 15 min apart), where I finally got some sleep in time to go to work Monday. Hubby emailed me "having anymore contractions, if so, tell baby NOT YET!" haha like she'd listen.
I had my temp in starting Monday and started having contractions at lunchtime. Still irregular, but calmed down during my aquamoms class. They didn't start again until near bedtime, but between them and baby activity, I was up most of the night again, with an hour of sleep here and there.
Similar repeat on Tuesday... calm morning with irregular contractions in the afternoon, stopping for part of the evening, then back at bedtime. I was so tired by 11 pm last night that I slept like a log (hurt this morning where I'd slept so hard!) so if they continued, I didn't notice it. And today, yup, back with the irregular contractions at lunchtime.
My belly is ultra sore right now, especially the belly button area. My shirt rubbing on it makes me want to whine and cry. My poor boys keep forgetting and hugging me around the waist, then feel bad because I groan when my belly's squeezed. Tomorrow's my 37 week OB appointment, and I'm having my GBS test done, so I guess he'll do a cervical check. But I'm betting on these still being prodromal or BH contractions - but who knows? I've been cram-training the poor temp with a warning each evening that I don't know 100% if I'll be back the next day, but we are thankfully at a place where I wouldn't feel horrible if I did leave her early... she'd survive now.
My conception due date would put me at 39 weeks on Friday, but the u/s due date puts me at 37 weeks. 16 days to my c-section... oh boy. I'm taking my last aquamoms class on Saturday, since I didn't feel like paying for a whole month for just a couple of classes in April. I'm gonna miss the swimming pool if we make it to April 13th.
