My body is a tease

in January 2012 Moms

Nearly 5 hours of painful and closer contractions to keep me up all night and then suddenly they disappeared.  Got some sleep after that at least, but now wondering how many nights of this I might be facing before its the real deal.  I was sure last night was because they were intensifying and getting closer for awhile, and even made me sick at one point. Just trying to decide now if I should rest up to day or go ahead and clean this house (Again...it never ceases to need it argh). 

And DH seems nonplussed...its nice he's so even-keeled but I could use a little interest on his part....really I think he is just clueless and since I haven't screamed "It's time!" he is gonna carry on which is fine I guess I'm just anxious and still fairly sleep deprived.  Rest it is I  guess. Maybe the elves will come clean

    Argh!! I had a similar deal last night - mine didn't increase in frequency, but they were painful enough that I had to stop talking and breathe through them, and I thought this HAD to be it. Then I laid down for bed, and that's when they stopped for me. My husband was also very calm about it, saying he didn't want to get his hopes up when I asked him why he wasn't freaking out/excited. The good thing is that all of this practice is making me more open to labor in general, it isn't as scary when you have these practice runs. Good luck, hope yours comes soon!!

    The same thing has been happening to me!  Several hours of contractions that are definitely painful, but still far apart...and then they stop.  I've been going to bed frustrated for the past 3 nights now.  And I don't want to keep getting my hopes up! But lorahbora-you're right, the practice is good in preparing for actual labor.  My husband has been calm about it as well--I think he's just relying on me to tell him when it's really time, for real.  

    I think we can be confident that our bodies are preparing for labor and that these bouts of contractions are dilating cervixes--that's a good thing!  Good luck to y'all...

    You'd figure all that contracting would inspire something -other than puking that is.  I've had them for a while now, but last night was a whole new level of intensity and pain...let it get my hopes up.  Oh well
