The problem with being a 2nd time parent, but one who has never gone into normal labor - is that you have no idea what is normal and what is labor. That's the point I'm at now. My pelvis is sore and I have a lot of low pressure and about every 10 min my abdomen gets really tight and that tightness lasts anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 min. I both want to eat and throw-up.
Frankly it's all just strange to me. I'm 7 weeks further along than I was when Greyson was born so this could totally be normal 3rd trimester stuff, but I don't know.
I called the OB's office and they said to stay put and not worry until the contractions are getting noticeably stronger and longer and consistent over an hour +, or my water breaks, or I start bleeding. So I'm just hanging out at home, trying to get things done and wondering "what the heck is going on".
But I have a strange feeling that MayBaby may not make it to May. And if she does it won't be for much of it. And I'm actually totally okay with this. Because I feel like she's in control right now, everything that happens is up to her. Unlike with G, she'll get to be in charge of when she comes. And that thought just makes me happy.
