I have been having contractions between every 2-5 minutes since monday. ?I was in the L/D twice over the past week. ?The baby has dropped. ?I have lost some or all of my mucus plug ( i think). ?I don't want an early baby but this is getting really hard to deal with. ?The contractions are getting more painful with each day.They think I am at least a week farther along so really 36 weeks and 2 days. ?I had DS 1 at 37 weeks and 1 day so not too far off. ?
They say now I just need to wait until I go into true labor, since they won't be trying to stop it at this point. ?
What do you think??
Re: Seriously, how long can I have false/early labor for?
Unfortunately I have been having contractions for 3 weeks now with no dilation. I just wish they would stop or do SOMETHING!
Wishing you rest from contractions or some progression soon.
I've been in early labor since 31 weeks. L&D twice as well. And my Dr. has said the same thing, at this point they wouldn't stop it, so I just need to wait until real labor starts. Until then I just contract everyday. Sometimes once an hour, sometimes 3 minutes apart for 2 hours.
I understand your frustration. ((hugs))
