Its been a long day and I've worn myself out. I'm finally able to curl up in my big comfy bed with a good book, eagerly anticipating a quiet night in. It looks like that won't be happening though- I start feeling contractions just minutes after laying down. They come hard and strong, me to double over. I rock back and forth, trying to concentrate on my breathing to ease the pain. My stomach keeps tightening again and again, and no birth position seems to help it.
