Early Labor

Here's what been happening the last few days...

Tuesday
I started to have contractions around 2:00 in the afternoon and they came pretty regular for a couple of hours. They started up again around 6:00 and continued through the night. These were not unbearable contractions and were not regular. We did time them for a while - they'd be 10 minutes, 12 minutes, 8 minutes, 4 minutes, 10 minutes.

Wednesday
The contractions continued through early morning and tapered off throughout the afternoon. I saw the doctor and unfortunately had not started to dilate further than 1cm from Monday. (A whole day of contractions for nothing!)

Thursday
Having signs that the baby is trying to come after all! No regular contractions, but when they do come they're very strong. We think the baby will be here before the weekend is over.

We'll try to keep everyone posted as things progress.
