Stronger and Closer contractions.

Boy this is moving fast. I just finished sweeping the house and picking up some mess, out of all the days in the past month, we've picked this one to not do any picking up... I had to stop every couple of minutes to let a contraction pass while picking up. There still a big mess!! and groceries? forget it, yesterday I didn't feel like doing anything, so I guess DH will have to do it very early in the morning, wouldn't want to starve our midwife.

What do women normally do while laboring?

Me? I'm picking up a load of train tracks, trucks and trains... crawling on the floor to have this time pass while allowing my baby to make it's way down the birth canal.

I'm not calling my midwife so early! will wait until we are closer to delivering.

Thank you Lord for this day!!! :).

Starting to Labor?

I think I'm starting to go into labor. Finally! after two weeks and two days I'm ready to get started and see my little guy.
I woke up about 30 minutes ago, after thinking about getting up for a few minutes, I realised my body doesn't feel as painfull as normally when I wake up... I thanked God, I thought to myself, this might mean that we are doing this today!!
Got out of bed to empty my bladder and ect... I felt a lot of pressure on my lower abdomen and inside vagina, walked in an almost squating position because it was so uncomfortable... at this point I felt some discharge, a pinkish liquid.
I empty my bladder and got up to do some squating exercises, walked to dh and let him know... now with a new change of undies, I should get back to sleep to make sure I'm rested for active labor.
