I wish this stuff meant something...

2 cm, 80% effaced, -1 station, lost mucus plug, and bloody show...

You figure with all of this, I'd be close to something.

Everytime I get excited, I read about someone having all of this for weeks before anything happened...BOOOOO!

I'm in almost the same boat as you...and I've been having minor contractions for 4 days.  I thought - yay, I'll be in labor soon!  And then today they stopped.

Yep, I was getting excited that I've been having contractions for 2 days now and then I saw your post this morning :-P 

I haven't made any progress yet (well I hadn't at my 37 week appt.) so I'm at least hoping for some dilation and/or effacement this next week. I'll take that at this point!

I feel even more sorry for you! Atleast I haven't had the excitement of contractions then had them go away- I would just die...

This is why I plan to refuse unnecessary internals unless I'm overdue. No point in getting my hopes up, or getting depressed, over information that means exactly squat.?

Our childbirth prep teacher was talking about this stuff last class, and telling everyone how great it is to know your "progress" as the weeks go by. All I could think is that she was setting up some ladies for serious disappointment when they find out that you can stay at the same place for weeks.?
