Update: No Outside Baby

mochalattemama

False labor woes! I feel so confused because I experience contractions between 15 and 20 minutes apart for several hours and then I go 2 hours without anything, and repeat. 

It's totally gettin' in the way of my groove.

Yep. She can stay inside as long as she pleases. My body, on the other hand, needs to be more consistent. I need to know if I can go back to work or not. :P

I know the feeling. My contractions have been picking up a lot at night and seem to die down by morning time only to return again.

It's so nice to hear from someone who is experiencing the same thing! It almost makes you feel insane. You get yourself all mentally prepared only because this is what you were told - when they are consistent, it's the real thing. Then BAM! Nada. 

Well, our babes could still use the time so it's a good thing.

Aw! Hang in there! I'm sure it's messing with your mind.

This is the only time in LO's life that you want them to get more baked. :]
...I really hope you get my humor there!

Glad to hear good news! Stay in there baby!

I'm sorry you keep having false labor

Hang in there. I've had friends who have dealt with false labor for weeks before going into labor. I'd say when the contractions are closer than 10 minutes apart it's more likely to be the real deal Being a soon to be third time mom, I've been told to head to the hospital once contractions are 10 minutes apart but first time moms can wait until they are 5 minutes apart.

Thanks for the update. Hope your contractions subside until it's the real deal!

Glad she is still in there. I ha nightly contractions for a month before my daughter was born. Seriously screwed with my emotions.

This is how it has been for me as well. Saturday evening they started and were 5-10mins apart for a little over 14 hours. I was having horrible back pain, shooting pain in my belly, and I felt super sick. They stopped being regular by the time we headed to L&D to get checked. Now they come back with a vengeance at night, keep me up, and die down.

Hang in there. Glad everything is okay and LO is still cooking.

The concept of false labor drives me BSC! Either be the real thing or don't happen at all. QUIT PLAYIN' GAMES WITH MY HEART!

Glad to hear your LO Is still inside :]
