Ok so it's 3 AM... I woke up at 2 30 to use the restroom and can't fall back asleep. (I have been having this problem for a couple weeks now.) Right when I woke up I noticed a period like cramp and my stomach was rock hard. I'm assuming it's a contraction, I used nipple stimulation yesterday and its the same kind of contraction I got from doing that. My lower back is extremely achy. Basically feels like I am expecting an extremely heavy period. It's not too unbearable, but very uncomfortable. I tried timing these contractions but for some reason it's hard for me to do that. The period cramp feeling feels pretty constant. Less then 48 hours ago I got my membranes stripped and I have been losing my plug ever since. I have been walking miles. I inserted 2 gel caps of primrose oil last night for the first time. I'm 39 weeks. How long should I give it to decide if this is the real deal? What should I do if I keep having trouble timing these contractions? Wait til they become unbearable? ANY advice is helpful. Thx.
