3rd Trimester
contractions on and off
So ever since I woke up been having contractions on and off. In the morning they were " light" and seem to get more intensity as the day has gone on, they almost stop me in my tracks. The timing is all off so I am just going to let my body do it's thing and if they get really strong or consistent in time then I think it might be time to call the doctor. Anyone else dealling with inconsitent contractions?

Re: contractions on and off
When I had my first child my contractions were erractic. They never followed the 5-1-1 rule. I was in labor for 14 hours total from the very first mild contraction to delivery. I would say if they are stopping you in your tracks to go get checked out. My doctor broke my water after I went in, I think that helped get things moving at a more steady pace. Also, prior to my dr breaking my water, walking helped moved things along too. I went from 2 to 3 cm after walking for 45 minutes. HTH! GL!
Same thing has been happening to me, with 7 days left. I went to the hospital last night and got checked and everything but other then wanting me to come back every day now there is nothing new for me. Our bodies are just getting ready for D day. I would suggest you go and get checked though. Better safe then sorry and if this is your first time they completely understand that you're unsure. My dr and the nurses have been great.
Good luck.
