False labor, you suck

kimsy · July 2009

So I posted last night about having strongish contractions that were 8 minutes apart all day. Well, they intensified last night and we walked about two miles last night (for a grand total of six miles for the day) and thought things were happening.

Then I sit down to rest my poor swollen feet at about 10:30, and the contractions start getting further apart and less intense. Even though earlier in the night, they were consistent regardless of what I was doing. I am so bummed.

Well, I hope false labor at least helped me dilate a bit more or something. And on the upside, I am getting my hair cut today, so that will be a fun distraction.

GL. I have been there and I don't know WHAT I did to distract myself for the few days I was still pregnant after false labor started. Other than hide from my CWs and friends because I left work one day with contractions and just swore I was having a baby that day. LOL

Enjoy the hair cut! I'm getting one tomorrow.

It sucks terribly. I hope if they come back soon it turns into something good for you.

I feel your pain, every night I seem to have consistent ones for a couple hours, but then they go away when I finally fall asleep

Sorry to hear that. The same thing happened to me. Mine were 6 mins apart then died off. At least it means something is happening! Try to enjoy your day and I hope your hair appt goes great!
