False alarm

We had a false alarm last night. I went to a "spouse's night" function on post and had to leave because I was having a never-ending contraction. The ladies were feeling my belly in disbelief. My belly was hard for something like ten minutes, it was crazy! So, I came home and soon later there was actually a pattern to the waves. The only thing was, they didn't feel too uncomfortable. I told Pete and he immediately inflated the birthing pool just in case. I'm glad he did too, because we found it had a small leak in the bottom and the air was coming out. At least I can address that with my midwife today when she comes over. She'll be checking me today and given the track record of my cervix, it's likely not open at all. My body likes to hold on to babies, unlike many of my friends, and doesn't like to dilate until absolutely necessary!
So anyway, the contractions finally just stopped all together and I fell asleep. I woke up and said to Pete "look, she's still in there!!". As if she would have just made her way out while I was sleeping, curled up next to us and surprised us in the morning!!! Maybe I'll get good news from the midwife, I'll keep you all updated :o)
