what if i don't know that i'm in labor in time?
with milo, i didn't realize i was in labor until i was already 6cm dilated. seriously.
we showed up at the hospital and i had him two hours later.
i'm worried that the same thing will happen again this time. or worse.
i just can't tell what the hell is going on with my body. :(
i've been having contractions for like a week. so that isn't a signal.
my water never broke with milo. it only breaks in 15% of pregnancies. so that may not be a signal.
i have cramps now, but the last time i went in with cramps it was nothing. so. um. yeah.
so i feel really stupid. and worried.
and i don't know what to do about it.
i don't want to be the pregnant girl that called wolf 300 times. you know? which is what i'll feel like if i go into labor and delivery to be checked more than once or twice. so i'm just sitting here worrying myself instead.
any advice. or help???

it was a false alarm.
i've been bedresting it up and the cramps stop when i'm laying around. so i'm just going to take it easy until after sunday when we're past thirty six weeks...then labor can happen anytime. haha. as long as i know when it's happening. :P
i actually went to labor and delivery tonight to get my weekly progesterone shot that helps keep finn in my belly...and they hooked me up to the monitors and ran some tests. i am having contractions but they aren't close enough together to mean labor. and my cervix is still closed. yay!! so it looks like we'll make it past sunday when it's been 36 weeks before he comes out! which is great!! full term baby!! sadly i also have another stupid infection. blah!! but i'm on meds again. so hopefully it goes away.
so overall, good news.
