Pain

[frualeydis]

I wish I could sleep, but it hurts too much. Not really any effective contractions, just a general feeling of having menstrual cramps. And pain in my ribcage and hands, but that's not related to the baby.
But I hate getting this little sleep, because if it starts today I will tired from the beginning.
I dreamed I had the baby tonight. It was a very easy and quick birth, the midwife didn't make it in time. Considering it took 48 hours last time, this isn't very likely. It was a girl in the dream.

Number two of my twins faced my tummy too, so I know the feeling; the contiunous back-pain especially. I also think they are "false labor" (in Sweden called "pre-labor", roughly translated). I never had those last time, it all started with the waters breaking and then I got weak contractions that disappeared when I got to the hospital and didn't start in earnest until 24 hours later.
I'm not going to use any painkillers either (except for some paracetamol against the arthritis pain) and the baby is going to be born at home so at least I don't have to worry about when to leave for the hospital, just when to call Agneta, my midwife.
I've just taken a bath and feel rather well. Most of the pain is surprisingly when I lie down, but the contractions are stronger when I walk around. Still I need to sleep. Maybe I'm relaxed enough now.
