Labor?
I’ve been having a tightening sensation in my back and stomach every 1-2 minutes for the past half hour lasting 30 seconds to a minute each. I’m trying to follow the 5-1-1 rule so if this keeps up I’ll probably go in, but where im struggling to decide if this is really finally it is because each contraction feels a little different. Some start higher up, some start lower, and some start in my back. When you guys had your babies did your contractions vary like that?
