At wits end....

I keep getting told now any day now any day now...

Today I finally had thoes OMG contractions... I was patient and let them come. They stopped and came back all day. I drank water walked, rested and stayed calm.

I was told because of testing Group B positive I needed to come in when they were 5-6 Minutes apart. (contractions)

Well not wanting to cry wolf I waited untill the contractions were 3-5 minutes apart and had them going for a good hour before I called the doctor. Was told to come in and by the time I got home from moms, grabbed the bag and got to the hospital they were unbareable. Soon as I entered the hopital they stopped and were no existant.  At that point it was 2 hours.

So I sat in Labor and delivery for an hour for no good reason other to be told to be patient and wait. They wanted me to relax and as I am typing this its kicking in I got a morphine and gravol cocktail shot. Apparently LO is not in a good face to my back which gives me double the contractions and pains and thats why I am getting the 'false labor' and apparently as soon as she flips to be face first it will be quick after that.  

I was told still, could be any time now. I am still early but am showing signs of someone who is full term in the starting signs of labor. I would wait the month out for Lo to come, the longer the better. But I can't keep going to the point of getting the contractions that I am, stressed about water breaking and infecting LO.

So now I just want to sit at home and wait untill contractions get to the point where I want to kill myself before going in, but I can't incase of water breaking, so Ill still have to follow the 5-1-1 rule and keep going in just to be turned away.

I am 90% effaced and 2-3 cm dilated. I keep progressing but at a snails pase.

Thank You for lisening, Im sure your all having some sort of discomfort and stresses of your own.

You aren't even full term yet! Let the baby cook a bit longer.  I know it's hard, but it's for the best.

No one can predict when you'll go, so stop listening to the "any day now".

I have had these type of contractions off and on since 35 weeks.  I have been in to L&D 3 times...all three times they could see the contractions but said that they weren't making me progress.  I asked them when I should come in and they just reassured me saying I should have come in each time.  I told them I would be in every week, and they said that is what they are there for and that some women have to.  We just have to make sure our LOs are taken care of...so who cares if we waste our time in L&D.  I hope they stop for you and you can let your LO bake some more.  :-)

I want her full term, trust me I do. Im just worried sick about her going into stress because of all the pain im in and strain in my body and that damn group B. Im sure all the poking and drugs to relax me wont do her any good either. I wonder if they just did whatever they do to stop babies from comming would have been a better approach to lets see what happens.

I understand how you feel...trust me I do.  You need to just keep up with the movement!  I just went in today because of lack of movement and everything was fine, but it was important to go in.
