UPDATE: Can't believe I'm saying this but I think I'm having contractions...
I have had BH on an off all day - but they are getting longer, more intense and some really painful - they aren't subsiding when I walk around, lay down or drink more. I'm not sure I'm in labor but I'm debating whether I want to call my OB b.c I really don't want to go to the hospital tonight since it is in the city and I have a 22 month old that I have to have someone watch.
UPDATE:
I'm still here! I really thought I might be going last night and I was a bit scared b.c I"m too early - I'm only 36 weeks tomorrow- they were very painful like when I had Kaitlyn, they started to get regular - 5, 6 mins apart - but then suddenly when I finally gave in and agreed to call the OB they suddenly started to get better so I ended up not calling.
It is so tough b.c I had a lot of preterm contractions with DD and ended up going to triage 3 or 4 times only to be sent home a few hours later - now with a 22.5 month old at home it is not so easy to just go in and my parents weren't home until late last night. So I might have had to bring her with DH and I.
For those that asked - they started as just regular BH where I got a lot of tightening - but they got longer 30-45 sec some for 60 sec and more and more uncomfortable - until they started to become painful - and hard to move around when I had them. They weren't going away with laying down, sitting or walking - which is what made me concerned. I just kept upping my fluids and changing position. Plus she got very active between the contractions. Then after a few hours of on and off BH and contractions they just died down and went away.

Bumping for update I'm still here. But I think I have to start taking it slower if that is possible with a 22 month old
