Contractions: the second rounds


I was wondering if last night might have been then night, but no. It wasn’t to be.

A series of contractions started at 8:50pm.
The first two were at 15 minute intervals, dropping thereafter to 6 at 10-minute intervals, dropping to 10 at 6-minute intervals (give or take a few minutes).

The contractions were accompanied by menstrual-like cramps.

I woke up at 2:30-ish to another contraction … but must have slept through any others.

Was I disappointed? Of course!! Haha.

I can’t wait to meet my little (or not so, as the case might be) baby.

 

In other news, I am sore!!
VERY VERY SORE!

I told Frank that it felt like someone had taken a hammer to my pelvic bone structure – everything feels bruised.
I feel it more on the left side than the right; but that’s not too surprising, seeing as she spends most of her time on my left side.
At times, the sore feelings are so intense that any movement of my legs is painful.

The really bad heartburn that I had over the last few weeks is subsiding (I was probably taking a good 6-10 antacids each day there for a while).

The heartburn has seemed to be worse with potato, followed by pasta, followed by rice – so it would seem that it’s brought on by a starch or carbohydrate sensitivity.
