Week 33

Sunday night I had some contractions. I assumed just the normal BH ones which usually go away pretty quick. Well, after 20 mins & they were still happening I got up to get some water because that usually makes them go away. 20 ish minutes later they seem to be getting a little more intense, so I went to take a warm shower since I had been sitting/laying through them & that wasn't stopping them. About 10-15 minutes into my warm shower they stopped totally. So no big deal.

Monday I had my appt with my OB. I told her about the night before & she confirmed that what I was feeling were contractions, but just practice ones as I got them to stop with a change of activity. She said they will be more common as my pregnancy progresses because the body tires easier. She seems very optimistic that since I didn't really have them with Madison & only went 2 days late, that I very well will not make my due date. Not that anything is 100% in that, but it seems like my body is getting ready sooner this time around, so it seems possible. My OB, then gave me the talk about contraction timing & when to go to the hospital. Of course if its before 36 weeks they will attempt to stop labor, so I have under 3 weeks until that point. I don't want it to happen before she is considered full term, but I'd take 38 or 39 weeks! I go back now in 2 weeks!
