I finally started to feel some of those Braxton Hicks contractions that I was supposed to have beginning in the first few weeks of pregnancy. They do not hurt at all and just feel like my stomach tightens up a bit for maybe 20-30 seconds and then goes back ot ‘normal’ again. Even though these contractions don’t really mean anything, I still hope my body is preparing to go into labor in the next couple of days.
I have been trying some of the most obvious ways to get the labour started such as doing lots of walking, which also helps with distracting us from wondering of when this baby is going to come out.
We went to Brickworks today, which was really fun and really hot. The best part was that we think we saw a black bear. But. When Sasha took a picture of it, even though its pretty far away it just looks like a huge black dog. Just look at the black figure at the far end of the pathway. But I am still sure it was a bear. Maybe it’s a good sign?
After doing lots of walking and talking about the bear incident at the Brickworks we went to the gym. Yep. Still go to the gym. Still feels great. No. It did not start labour.
Another day is over, which means my chances of going into labour increase tomorrow. Yey! And the probability of being induced on Friday also increases. Noo! Let’s hope tomorrow brings good news.
