Oooo I finally felt my first contractions!!!

I probably shouldn't sound so excited, but given I've never had BHs it's nice to know my uterus actually knows what to do! It was last night at first, after a day of running around. Went away after lying down (and having a brief nap), but it was so tight and hard. I had some lower back niggles first, a bit like period pain, and then the top of my tummy went all hard. It didn't hurt so much as feel really, really tight.

I've had it a little this morning as well.

I don't think it's a sign of anything imminent, but OMG I wouldn't mind getting this baby's head off my bladder and pelvis. I can hardly walk upright atm!

Oxygen arrives tomorrow. I'm tempted to get out and do some serious gardening again on the weekend - seems to have got things moving in the right direction last weekend!
