Update:Thursday the doctor put me on the fetal monitor after my ultrasound and they noticed I was contracting every two minutes. I have started to notice the contractions more over the past few days, and they are definitely preparing for the big event. Well, they sent me up to my OB who said I had progressed a little [...]
