I've been having braxton hicks contractions non stop all week.....but no baby. They're painful and so I keep getting confused as to wether it's real labor or not. I'm not used to the natural onset of labor.....I'm used to the intense pitocin induced contractions. So I'm not sure what to expect. I'm super excited though, and just can't wait for her to get her.

Also I'm getting married Saturday. Wheeeeeeeee!!!!! Depending on how I feel that day, there may or may not be pix to come!!!

What is going on with everyone else?

when you have the first real contraction, you probably won't be unsure, it will be way more intense, whole other league to BHs.

OMG talk about cutting it fine missy

I thought of you last week. I flipped channels and landed on "One Born Every Minute" and almost busted out into an axiety attack! I hate hospitals, needles, and blood.

I swear if I had children I would faint in childbirth. I seriously could not watch more than 5 minutes. It was on a mom that was having comlications in delivery. He body was trembling. I seriously got light headed! Amen to you!!!

that's the great thing about being the one busy birthing, you don't have to LOOK at it! Last thing you are even really concerned about is where you are and who is there with you

I couldn't have cared less if George Clooney was delivering my kid

Girl, being the one in the situation is worse! I still have anxiety each time I donate blood. It's rediculous. I have always been like it! I fainted when I had blood taken for tests at doctor's offices ever since I was a little kid.

well, take it from me, pain that grips your body like nothing else, leaves little brainspace left for being scared to see blood

It's really not as bad as they make it look on TV. I mean, I guess it could be, but it's so 'quick' okay maybe not always quik, either. It's something you know ya gotta do and you know the pain isn't going ANYWHERE until you PUSH.

Ugh.....don't ever spoil your kids with baby wipes.....cuz when you run out you will be interupted from whatever it is you're doing (in this case orging) to go wipe your 8 year olds but.

Anyways, yeah Charlotte, the doctor asked me if I wanted a mirror pulled up, the first time I delivered......I'm like NOPPPPPPPEEE!!!! Don't tell me whats happening, don't tell me what you're dping, I don't wanna see, I don't wanna know!!

I worked with a woman that her husband was pulled over for speeding while she was in the back seat in labor. The cop was an asshole. Saw that she was in the back vomiting and obviusly ready to drop and at any moment and the dude still wrote the ticket and made them wait.

I thought you were married!?

I have 3, and when you have that first contraction, you can just cry, it's such a certainty
