About 6pm today, I hit a whole new level of pain (not matched this pregnancy since the sciatica got so bad I couldn’t walk or stand!). Cramping at first made me think I was getting dehydrated, but then the pain moved to the center of my lower back and got way worse – about two fists wide-, as well as radiating to cramping at the bottom of my abdomen, and then starting to shoot down my leg (same sciatica pain, but opposite (left) leg this time) whenever I took a step.
It subsided. It must have been a contraction. Still, I know I need to go get Amber, and get home so I can lay down / rest and see if this is the real deal or a false alarm.
6:40 I thought I felt it starting again, but didn’t get bad, didn’t go to my back, and was over much faster.
Been resting. Nothing notable since. Sad.
