I have been having contractions for two days and they were an hour and half apart then yesterday and hour and 15 min apart now after all that i had to do today they are about 45 min apart. And you know what! Everyone left me at home by myself with three kids and no one took their phone with them! I hope that someone comes home before anything major happens. Especially since I have never went all the way through labor. But more signs that my mom says that it is close is that my back is killing me along with the contractions, where as before just my stomach was tightening now it starts in my back and comes around the front and I have not wanted to eat anything all day and plus the diarraha (spelling?) I know that it is gross but my mom says that it is my body getting ready and making room. I am just a little nervous because I have to have a C-section and what do I do if I go into labor before someone comes home? I can't have a c-section at home! I am so nervous and excited and SOOOO ready to get this baby out. I am so ready to meet him/her.
It is pretty normal for the warming up stuff to feel pretty intense if we've birthed before.
When are they due back?
I doubt you have to worry about anything asap.
But call your doctor if you really are worried.
Remind me, why the cesarean? Complications right now?
Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers ~ strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.

This is my fourth child and I have already had three c-sections. I have never went all the way through birth and that is what has me freaked out. I started out this morning with the being so far apart and then over the last 5 hours they have went to every 45 min. Tomorrow I will be 38 weeks so they could go ahead and do it but i have never been pregnant longer than 38 weeks either. I am nervous I think that is all there is to it but i am going to make sure that everything is ready just in case. My hubby should be home soon. He did not call and say that he had overtime so I assume he is getting off at his normal time which is in a few, it will take him about an hour to get home.

Your body is simply doing what pregnant bodies do~ try not to let that frighten you. You are a part of nature, an animal, your body is made to do this. (Just as it was made to conceive: line up egg & sperm, grow the embryo-fetus, and bring the baby outward in time.)
If the contractions continue to get closer you might want to notify your doctor-- you can work out a strategy. But, this might be something that goes away in time... (to return again later, of course) you never know.
