This may be stage 1 *update*

labor....yesterday I was so energetic and got a ton of errands done....which I unlike me lately cause I've been feeling exhausted this past week. I think I have slowly been loosing my mucus plug this week and had a little bit of spotting last night which I'm guessing was "bloody show". I woke up around 2:30 with contractions but didn't start timing them until 3 because I've been having false labor contractions for the last few weeks. I also had horrible indigestion, heart burn, acid, stomach cramps etc...that lasted for about an hour. I have been timing the contractions since 3, it's now almost 5:30 and they are getting closer together and lasting about a minute. I started at about 14 minutes apart and am now at about 7 minutes apart. Some of them are more intense then others but overall I would consider them mild with a dull lower backache.
I'm hoping this is it girls! With DS I never had contractions on my own, my water broke in the late evening and I had to be induced the following day, so this is a whole new experience for me. Dr. told me not to call until they are 5 minutes apart and last at least a minute so I think I probably have another few hours at home if this is truly labor.
Please let this be it !

**update**
Around 7 a.m. the contractions seemed to disappear so I went back to bed and managed to get some sleep. I just woke up and still have that lower back ache and a lot of pressure but I feel more like AF cramping than the distinct contractions I felt early this AM. I guess I'll just see how the day progresses and hope this all leads to something.
