This morning, I woke up before the sun was up in quite a bit of pain. I guessed I had slept on my left side for too long…my hips, leg, and ribs were all aching. I got up to walk around for just a bit and then went back to bed- this time on my right side. I was able to sleep for an hour or so.
When it was time to actually get up for the day, I sat up on the edge of the bed and before I could get up on my feet good, I was already contracting. Not having been in labor on my own before, it is a little frightening to me to wonder “is this it?”. Eight in the morning now finds me having been incredibly sick to my tummy all morning, contracting and feeling some other “odd” sensations. I admire those of you who just seem “to know”…maybe that will be me at some point.
If anything changes through the day, I’ll be sure to post again.
