Anyone having contractions? I think I am they start low below my belly button and work their way up. Last night they were only lasting maybe 15 seconds I also got really sick which you all warned me about. Does this mean I'm on the down slope? 
Are you still eating normal food or being careful what you eat?

I don't think so...... I think I've been having a lot of BH contractions though.
Yesterday I was super sick for the morning, and I was wondering if it was a sign I was going into labour. Is that something a lot of people here experienced? I needed groceries but I was afraid to leave the house for like an hour after just in case haha.

I've been having contractions almost every night but they go away after an hour or so. I've never gotten sick but everyone is different.

Why does everyone have to be different we should all experience the same symptoms so we can help each other out. I just ate lunch and stomach doesn't feel good again. I hope he decides to show up sooner rather than later.

I think I had bh ones yesterday. It was intense back pain. I'm on my way to my doc now, I will follow up afterwards .
I get know if I'm strep b positive today ( bfd right?)

I have them. I have Braxton hicks, and then "real" ones. My stomach gets hard with both, but the real ones kind of make me feel short of breath and start in my back and wrap around and down. The Braxton ones are hard to tell if she is just balling up or how long they last and I feel them more in the bottom of my abdomen. I have had hours here and there of real ones, but I did that for weeks leading up to when I went into labor the first time.

I have had a lot of cramps (similar to period cramps) and some BH (or at least what I assume are BH, this is my first). I notice my belly get really hard and uncomfortable. This tends to happen at night for me. Im 38 weeks 5 days.

Everyone is telling me that I am going to go late beacsue my belly is still really high. When I went to the doctor I am still at -3 station, but was 1cm dialted and 50% effaced. But I know that could go on for awhile.

I just got back from the doc - she said I'm Strep B negative and 1/2 centimeter dilated. So that's something. Hopefully I'll make a little more progress by next week.

I caught the flu and was having painful contractions - maybe like 10 in an hour. I went to the ER and they gave me and IV which stopped them. I was dehydrated. Oh and I was 0 cm dialated. Since then, nothing.

Period like cramps every once in a while. Nothing regular. I'm 38w2d.

I'm getting period like cramps and the occasional shock like a bolt of lightning. Not fun at all.
