37 Week Appointment/Vent/WWYD?

in February 2011 Moms

I was at 2 cm last week and had a growth u/s last week. Baby is measuring big (7 lbs. 10 oz weight estimate and her head measured 39 weeks). Every day for the last week I've had 3-5 hours of timable contractions that then tapered off. I was hoping for some progress today, especially since my OB is fine with baby girl arriving 'early.' I had no progress at all but my OB told me that if at any point I feel the contractions are real to no hesitate and to go straight to the hopsital. Well, when I left his office I was having contrax every 5 minutes, but, they are not painful at all. Now, they are closer together, about 3-4 minutes apart but not any stronger. I know this could be a result of the internal but I also know they are prettly close together and getting closer. I know what I should do, call the OB, but in the same breath I feel like this is just the same that has been going on for a week now. I didn't have the same thing with my son, I went from no contrax AT ALL to waking up and having my water break and I never started contracting on my own; I had to have two rounds of pitocin to get thingts going. Soooooo, not sure if I should try to wait this out or call/go in for monitoring.

    I would say if they don't hurt, its not the real thing. I was SUPER crampy after my internal today too. Maybe drink some water, lay down and see what happens?

    I'm soooo conflicted, I know it can be from the internal but my OB also seems to think I will have this baby at any moment. I soooooo don't want to have a baby at work or at home! (And I can't lay down b/c I'm at work).

     I'm just going to go call him, I think that is the only thing that will make me stop worrying over this.

    I called and told the nurse I had an internal today and have been having contrax at 2 minutes apart, a minute long, for over an hour. She said drink some water and try to wait but if they are at 5 minutes apart, 1 minutes long, for over an hour (5-1-1) then to go to L&D. Kind of a non-answer since I had just told her they have been at 2-1-1.  

    Soooooo, I just refilled my water bottle and, after calling DH, I'm waiting at least til I get off of work in 40 minutes, but, now they seem to be getting stronger.
