Finally! A contraction.

It's just a Braxton-Hicks contraction. It felt like a tightening across my abdomen and maybe lasted for a minute or so. At first I thought I'd eaten too much for lunch and was going to be sick from the effort of walking up the stairs in the heat, but it sustained at such a steady pressure that I thought, "Ah! Contraction!" After a minute or so, it stopped and the kid wriggled like mad.

It's been two hours now and I haven't had another. So it's been a little anticlimatic. I didn't think it was labor. It was just weird.
