Getting Depressed :( -- kinda long

So at my friday MD appt I was 4 cm dilated and 100% effaced and she said that it could be this weekend. I really tried not to get my hopes up. Last night around 9 p.m. i started to get contractions that were different than what i was used to. Im usually just crampy with no distinct beginning or end. Last night i could sense one coming on and felt relaxed as it ended. Those contractions were every few minutes (5-10) but did not increase in intensity and i could talk barely and breathe through them so i didn't start trying to time them. I decided i would try my hardest to go to sleep, thinking that maybe in a few hours i would wake up in a lot of pain -- be able to start timing -- and maybe have my baby today :) I slept awful last night, up every hour or so just barely able to get back to sleep due to the pain. I finally slept for a 3 hr span between 4-7 am and when i got up at 7 the pain was back to normal consistent cramping. Im so sad. I really thought that was it and so did DH. I just woke up and started crying hysterically. I really shouldn't be this upset!! She's not even overdue yet, i wish i didn't know that it could be any day, maybe then i wouldn't be waiting so impatiently. It doesn't help that today is the 4th day in a row that it has been raining  :( Anyone else getting sad / discouraged / depressed that your baby isn't here yet?? Maybe I'm just overly hormonal

    I totally understand! I got the exact same news at my appointment on friday- 4cm dilated and fully effaced. I believe her exact words were "Your cervix feels so great, I can't believe your body doesn't want to go into labor." The only difference is that yesterday was my due date and my husband had to work a 12 hour day. So I got to sit at home alone, dilated to 4, with no baby and no indication that he wanted to come out anytime soon. I don't think you are overly hormonal at all. Well, maybe you are hormonal, but we get to be right now. Good luck to you!

    I can't really relate, but I am sorry you are so frustrated. Hang in there, you are so close. Keep in mind your hormones are totally wacky, which makes "keeping your cool" much more difficult.

    I know how frustrating waiting on LO can be!  I spent 1.5 hours on the phone with my mom on Sunday just to pass time.  I just can't wait to hold LO for the first time and to finally meet him!!

    I'm sorry. I feel your pain. I was almost 3 and 100% last Thursday and my Dr said she wouldn't be surprised if I went into labor or broke my water before my next appt. So all weekend I had my hopes up and DH is all excited. I never considered myself impatient, but the waiting is so hard.

    And these stupid BH aren't helping either. >:(
