Contractions

I woke up at 2 this morning feeling contractions.  Not too painful (but yes, uncomfortable) but they were fairly consistent. They felt like strong menstral cramps and wrapped around to my back and down in my hips.  I was able to sleep intermittently and tried to change my position often. I ended up sitting up on the edge if the bed slightly rocking back-and-forth until about 4:30 when they started to fade away.  There was a lot of low pressure, which was still there in my hips this morning but as the morning is going on I have felt much better. I wonder what this means for me or if it means nothing at all... I was very busy yesterday trying to clean up the house and get things ready for the baby; though I did feel very accomplished I think I overdid it...35 weeks is not that bad but I would at least like to make it a few more weeks...

Oh and on a side note, I don't think I've mentioned but you know how I mentioned that I was starting to itch, well it has totally gone away :) They tested my blood to make sure and all the numbers of my liver panel/bile acids came back looking totally normal!  What a Miracle  - "We like Miracles around here" - my dr said and I must agree.  So, no cholestasis for me this time around, Wahoo!
