thought it was from the examination so i just let it go..well then

so i called the drs and office and they told me to time them and if i

get the pains 5 times in a hour to go to l&d so i did and sure enough

cent dialated also prior to going there i lost some more mucus the

nurse gave me a sleeping pill and sent me home and said to come back
