Am I in Labor?

On Wednesday night, I thought I was in labor.  I wasn't sure if what I was feeling were contractions or not.  I never went into labor with Mya so I'm not really sure what they feel like.  I googled what I was feeling.... big mistake!  Menstrual like cramps? CHECK.  LOWER BACK PAIN? CHECK.  I must be in labor! You can convince yourself of anything if you google it!  So, I finally called the doctor at midnight. Because what I was feeling wasn't consistent, she didn't think I was in labor.  She told me to time my contractions (if that's even what I was feeling) and they should be 5 minutes apart for 2 hours.  They weren't.  I kind of felt stupid... but better safe than sorry!  They keep telling me it's very important that I don't go into "full labor" because of the c-section.  This has made me completely paranoid!

I will admit that it felt like forever waiting until my weekly appointment which was today.  I just needed to be reassured that what I've been feeling on and off for the last 4-5 days was "normal" and the baby was ok.  He hasn't been moving as much either.  Again I googled this and learned that it's usually because he is simply out of room.  I believe that, my stomach has stretched about as far as it can go!  Just look at all my stretch marks for proof.

After waiting for the doctor for 2 HOURS (I was SO MAD!!!! Delivery or not, it was just not ok) she finally arrived.  She did my cervical check and said I was no more dialated this week than I was last week.  I couldn't believe it!  After all the aches and pains and contractions I thought I felt, still no movement!  I told her about my so-called contractions and less movement of the baby.  She decided to hook me up to the monitor just to make sure everything was ok.  Thankfully, it was!  Baby Boy W was moving just fine and I wasn't contracting at all! 

SO, the countdown continues!!! Mya is still putting stickers on her countdown chart!  Tomorrow, we will be on Day 6!  I can't believe this time next week.... we'll have our little guy!
