Womb talking

So today was a bit of a reality check for me in that I started feeling "contractions" after my much needed nap.  I woke with a tight aching stomach thinking my bladder was probably full.  But after that relief I noticed my uterus tightening on and off pretty regularly.  VERY unusual for me.  My first thought was NO WAY am I going into labor but I was listening very closely to my gutt.  What do I do? I mean this is baby #4 for me, Im supposed to have this down to a science right?  I chalked it up as Braxton Hicks, laid down, drank water, and rested.  My conscious was telling me not to panic but also not to take it lightly.  After about 5 hours I decided to at least inform my midwife of what was going on, at least to put my mind at ease I guess.  My hunch seems to be right, but thankfully I have a prenatal already scheduled tomorrow to make sure because this baby has been giving me major pelvic pressure, pubic bone soreness, and just hard to walk.  I dont want to be a wuss about it all LOL, but a part of me is like "hey, is anybody gonna pamper me this go round??"  Thats a damn shame I know, but being pregnant is supposed to be just that and I haven't got an ounce of it.  I need it and want it because after the baby arrives you know everyone forgets about me lol.  Ok I guess I best get off the puter now since I still feel tightness every now and then.  Time to rest.
