False alarm :(

Mrs.JDD

After timing contractions from 9:30-1:30, I went to bed for a bit because they really weren't getting any stronger.  You'd think it would be easier to tell if you're in labor the second time around, but apparently not

Did you go early with Claire?

How frustrating.  But he will be here before you know it!

Sorry! :-( Soon enough you'll be joining me on the other side!

I had lots of starts and stops with my second labor. ?My L&D nurse said that was common for subsequent pregnancies.

Mrs.JDD

Yeah, she was 8 days early.  I have been having contractions (the crampy kind, not just tightening) since 33 weeks this time around.  At my appointment last Tuesday I was dilated to 4 and 80% effaced, so when the contractions picked up last night and were regular, I was sure it was it!  They never got any stronger even though I was doing laundry, cleaning, you name it!  hahaha

Oh wow, well then it sounds like he will be here soon! Best of luck and lots of walking!

I know it sucks, but be happy he is cooking a little longer! You want a healthy baby! It won't be much longer now, and each day that passes is good for him. I walked around 4cm for 3.5 weeks.

Good Luck
