Trusting His Timing
While you wait, whatever you do... do not lose heart. đ
Last night, little Emmy tricked me with hours of false labor! Contractions 5 minutes apart for FOUR hours! 𤰠I thought for sure she was coming, it hurt a lot less than with Austyn but so has EVERYTHING with this pregnancy. đ¤With Austyn (my first babe), EVERY CONTRACTION, even Braxton Hicks, put my back on fire. A 100 out of 10 on the pain scale.
I started having INTENSE back pain with Austyn at 14 weeks pregnant & it lasted until I gave birth & BEYOND. So I wasnât sure what to expect with this baby. Iâm not really sure Iâll have anything to compare it to, because last time ALL I could feel was the horrific knife stabbing pain in my back. đĽ
Anyway, last night, we called the nurse & decided we should to try to go to sleep since they werenât really getting closer together. I figured if I could sleep, I wasnât close enough to labor anyway... đ
Sure enough, I fell asleep đ´ & woke up 8 hours later... No baby. (#obvi) And, minimal contractions. đ¤ˇđźââď¸
Iâm far enough along (no matter which due date we go off of đ) that baby would be just fine but Iâm totally okay with her cooking a little longer. đđź
We are in the process of hiring an assistant for our business & Iâve got a âfewâ other things to keep me more than occupied over the next few weeks... #mombosslife
But, I would ALSO be just fine meeting her NOW. đśđź

& never losing heart... even though I know our hearts might BURST from the excitement of meeting our little girl! đ
Whatever Y O U are waiting for, I hope you are hopeful. And I hope you NEVER lose heart. đ
Question for my momma community... What is YOUR false labor or pre-labor story?! Any advice? đ
