  Good luck on waiting until Monday   I've been having contractions all day, varying from 5 minutes apart to 15 minutes apart, but not consistent.  I'm hoping he doesn't come tonight, because I'm so exhausted and want to sleep before being in active labor!

  You might get lucky. I had contractions from 7 last night till 7 this morning, 7 minutes apart. Then they just stopped. It was such a tease!

  Lol. (Sorry, don't mean to laugh at your discomfort/misfortune.) That's what I've been telling DH and my family. I'm not convinced they're gonna last since I've been reading so many posts from frustrated mamas on here about having consistent contractions practically every night, then *poof!* nothing.

  I will give you some of my anti labor dust, I think I produce the crap. In seriousness though, I have contractions from about 2pm-2am every single day four minutes apart and they vanish like clockwork, so maybe it will work for you!

  I just have to ask...what has your OB told you to look for as a sign of when to call back/go in since you're at 4 minutes apart for at least an hour?? I mean...that's past the point where most OBs tell their patients to call. Do you just go to L&D for a daily visit? 

  BTW, it looks like tonight's episode was in fact false labor. I just finished telling DH that I can't imagine doing this nightly for weeks like some of you ladies do. At least in my situation the most I have to do it is 5 nights (including tonight).

  Yep. I've been having those for about a month now. Anywhere from 5-15 minutes apart. They get more and more intense and closer together then, BAM! gone for a couple of hours. A freeking month. I'm exhausted.

  Yuck! Like I said, I've been reading a lot of posts like that. I was hoping to avoid this mess all together with the induction, but I can't complain if I've only got 5 nights of it. You poor, poor ladies. I'm sorry and I hope your babies come soon!!
