If you are squeamish about bodily functions you probably shouldn’t read this. Basically, I might be in labor, but it is sporadic so I am unsure.
Now for details… I got up at 03:30 and had lost my mucus plug. Actually in my half asleep state I thought my water had broken so I woke up Michael. However the “fluid” was sticky mostly clear (ie: mucus not amniotic fluid.) Then I started having contractions and they were regular. 10 minutes apart and a minute long, then 9 minutes apart and a minute long. Then I got the laundry basket full of towels put away.
We started getting excited and the contractions stopped. Hehe, figures! Then they started again (as soon as I tried to get some more sleep) but now are very sporadic, varying from 4 to 12 minutes apart, though they feel a bit more intense. I wouldn’t say they are painful but they certainly force me to focus only on them and if it wasn’t for Michael helping me relax I would be a total tensed up ball.
I am bleeding a little now too, not much, just spotting and some in the mucus which is still coming out, which is normal. Debating calling the midwife or whether Michael will stay home at the moment now.
So maybe this is it, maybe it isn’t. Exciting though.
EDIT: I’ll be updating how stuff is going on my Twitter.
