Contractions? Posted: 09-13-07 09:13am
So.....last night I was having some pretty
strong/regular contractions. They were
about every 3-5 minutes. After having them
for about an hour I called the hospital to
see if I should come up there. They told
me to take some tylenol and if I still had
contractions after that then to come up.
Well......after about 2 1/2 hours of
regular contractions they went away. Im
bummed. I was really hoping it was the
real thing. I mean, they were some pretty
strong contractions. Ive never had them
like that b4, and now I know what they
really feel like. I will be 40 weeks
friday, could the contractions I had last
night mean that just maybe the real thing
could be coming soon? I have an appt.
monday @ the hospital to be induced if my
little one isnt here b4 then. What do yall
think?

It was probably false labor. Which BLOWS!
There are plenty of things to separate the
two. (false labor & true labor). I'm
not 100% sure what they all are, but try
googling "true labor vs. false labor" and
I'm SURE you'll get the difference!!
I'm sure it's the baba prepping to come
out!! HOW EXCITINGGGG!!
Relax. Drink plenty water. SLEEEEP! You'll
be holding your baby in less than a
weeeek!

yah after they stopped i realized they
were false. Its just soo crazy how they
can hurt like that and last/be consistent
for about 2 hours and not be the real
thing. Who knows, maybe she'll decide to
come on her due date. My dr. did strip my
membranes yesterday monring at my appt.
