contractions?
OMG I just had the craziest contractions. . I was at a party and feeling tightness in my stomach and mild contractions for a few hours (so mild I couldn't really tell if it was gas or anything else) they started to get stronger and finally as DH and I were driving home they got crazy strong and were coming every minute, would last for about 20 seconds. . this went on for about 30 minutes and finally when we got home and got out of the car I was shaking a little and went right into a hot shower. . now they have stopped completely!
so what was that? was it the start of labor? it really FELT like labor but now it's gone completely. .

Re: contractions?
Are we on the same weird contraction cycle? Mine has since stopped with the occasional "I think my v is going to fall from my body"
I hope this is the start of something! I'm exhausted but can't sleep just thinking about it.

so what happened with yours? and did you sleep at all?
mine have stopped completely. .it was just weird how strong they were - literally I had to use breathing to get through them and now nothing!
I was supposed to go to CT today to my dad's and now am second guessing it.

wow this is weird! it was scary right?
I actually just called my doctor after speaking to my sister who made me anxious! and she said it was normal. . as long as LO was still moving it was okay. . she said it was probably just very early labor but could not be going anywhere fast. .

well all I have to say is that was how I felt - that I had no idea if I would even know if it was a contraction but TRUST ME - you'll know!
good news is it can apparently start whenever so you may be contracting any minute now!!!
baby dust back at ya!

Maybe it was a delayed effect of the full moon lol! Definitely sounds like early or false labor. This is exactly what I was admitted to the hospital for 2 weeks ago and was told "you are going to have a baby tonight" Yeah right. It's crazy how they just stop

They stopped!!! I finally got to bed at 3am but my neighbor downstairs was having a party and I kept on waking up. I had one contraction, from aggravation at around 6 when they were screaming on the side of the house. Awesome. 
I'm pretty sure we all are ready to go very, very soon. I just want a clear indication that it's time!!!
Labor dust to all of us... including Laura
