frustrated!

H and I went for a walk tonight. I had been having contractions during the day and we thought this would help with keeping things moving. All while we were walking I could feel them. Lots of tightness and pressure.

We get back inside and I sit on the couch to rest....and it's pretty much stopped. Seriously?!

I've had a few but they aren't as bad as they were when we were walking, or as frequent.

The past few days I have gone for long walks- about 1.5-2 miles- and I contract consistently the entire time. Then I get home and it stops. I guess I just have to remember that when its real labor, nothing I do or don't do will be able to stop it!

Ugh, at 40 weeks 5 days, this would piss me off, too!  

I hope they start back up for you soon and keep going, mama!

later while laying on the couch they were around 6-6 1/2 mins apart for about an hour, lasting 2 1/2 mins or so.

I got up to move around and they were so much harder to time when they started. I timed a couple at 8 mins apart...now they're more irregular. Argh! I had a couple that were like 12 mins apart, then 6, 8, 9, 7...and they are manageable...no real pain.

I had the exact same thing happen to me today. I was sure today would be her birthday. Went and walked at the mall for two hours, had to keep stopping because the contractions were so strong. Came home to grab my bags and eat some food and they completely stopped!! UGH

I've been getting the SAME THING since about 36 weeks, if I walk for more than 20 minutes I get contractions but the minute I sit down, bam, gone! we walked for an hour today, thought FOR SURE it would help, but nothing since I got home besides being knocked the F out for about an hour...
