Glory to God, contractions started at 5:30 AM. Now it's already 10:00. At the beginning they were weak, now slowly increasing pain. The intestines began to cleanse themselves. Contractions for 1 minute with an interval of 7-8 minutes. While I gather things in the maternity ward and snack. I want to relax and not panic. But terribly pulls into sleep. Has anyone had this too? True, when contractions start you can't sleep ?
