so miserable :(

I guess I just need to vent for a second. I am so mentally and emotionally exhausted from my body being in early and false labor for 11 days. For example yesterday I woke up and lost my Mp... I had been losing pieces for about two weeks but he nasty part found its way out! Anyway that was around 7am... around 11am I started having contractions at work and around 1pm they were about 10 to 12 minutes apart they started getting more intense and an hour later were 8-9 minutes... I couldn't focus so I left work since I live 30 minutes away. Dh and I took a walk were they increased but they slowed down again and have just stayed at 10 minutes or longer. I am on little sleep and clearly STILL not in active labor. Now I know ill have to go back to work today and be miserable. No one can do anything... not even me. And ive been sitting here waiting for it to.stop or pick up and it just doesn't... idk what to do:( I wish I was like other women who woke up and were just in labor or their water broke. No... I have to do this for weeks!!! I am so frustrated. Don't know of there are other prodromal laborers out there but this is bullsh!t!

Word. I did not have this experience with my first pregnancy. I had no idea it could be like this. I hope your LO arrives soon!

That sounds awful!  I hope you find some relief soon!

I'm sorry you're going through this!  I had it for 2 weeks with DS.  And then I had it all last week, even though I didn't want to go into labor because DD is breech. 

Benadryl and a heating pad have really helped me rest at night.  Good luck!

Thanks ladies. I'm just trying to make it through each day you know? But of course they are still going today... I know I won't stay pregnant forever. But I can't even think of it as a possiblity that I could be like this for another two weeks. I think okay get through TODAY.

So exhausted. Hope this all happens for us soon and I can forget how horrible this part has been once I see her little face. But until then it is the longest part of being pregnant.

I completely sympathize. I'm 4 days overdue and last night we really thought was it. I started having moderately painful contractions around 7 p.m. coming every 15-20 minutes. We went for a walk and they increased in intensity and started coming every 10 minutes. I took a shower but they kept coming every 8 minutes and were getting much more painful. We called my mom to say we were bringing DD over and were just about to head to the car when everything just stopped. Nothing. I kept waiting for the next one, but nope. We went to bed thinking they might start up again but they never did. I felt so disappointed and frustrated this morning that I didn't even want to get out of bed. All of my excitement and motivation to get stuff done has completely disappeared now. All I can think about now is how they're probably going to induce me at the weekend and give me the evil pitocin, which pretty much guarantees an epi + catheter.

You are so close to the end! Hang in there. This will all be behind you soon.
