no i was more responding to all those saying that its SO rare to not know if your in labor or not and that I will definately know.
I belive there are cases where women do not know until baby is on his/her way out. But I am just confused as to whether I should get excited that labor is in its very early stages, or if my uterus is just practicing. argh. probably the latter.
Ladylee, I am wondering if my situation is the same as yours or not, is all. But I have a fetal monitoring appointment today to check on baby and my bp, it will also tell them if i am having contractions.
I couldnt sleep cause I am wondering what will happen today. I am still having contractions with pelvic pain and rectal pressure, but I have a feeling they are BH. However if I am in early stages of labor, if my bp is still high, they will probably speed up my labor and get baby out before any complications arise. I think. I hope.

I was commenting about the women whose contractions are erratic, yet were in true labor.

You said after arriving to the hossy, and walking for an hour, that you could tell the contractions were becoming more frequent/painful.

So, I guess in a way it was directed at you. But more to the women whose contractions were irregular/eratic and WERE indeed in true labor.
