I might cry re: labor (false labor, whatever)
Jay_Cee

I had contractions all night last night. They started at 12:30a and were between 5 and 10 minutes apart throughout the night and quite painful; I also started spotting (probably from my internal yesterday). I obviously didn't sleep much at all.
Now I haven't had one contraction in 30 minutes at all. I seriously thought today would be the day and now I highly doubt it. I'm so frustrated.
On top of that, my mom is sending me texts this morning about how she loves my child more purely than I ever will because Dr. Phil says so on TV. I'm exhausted and these messages are just pushing me over the edge.

Re: I might cry re: labor (false labor, whatever)
::hugs:: I'm sorry you went through that only to have it fizzle.
Turn your phone off and take a nap.
That's so tough to hear! I'm sorry you had a bad night, but who knows, it could be possibly be the day!
And the text from your mom - don't get me started on that - totally not cool.
Ummm wtf?!
I'm sorry about the false labor, hopefully LO arrives soon!
Yeah, I'm pretty pissed. So is the Mr. My mom says that since she doesn't have to discipline the baby, only spoil him/her, she loves the baby more purely than I ever will. I told her she was ridiculous, but she held her stance.
The Mr. and I have been discussing not allowing her back in L&D with us since our L&D visit on Sunday (she was originally supposed to be there just during labor and then leave during delivery) -- I just couldn't imagine the stress she would have caused while we were there for the NST. As long as it's okay with me, he won't allow her back when she gets to the hospital, which is more than fine with me at the moment. I get that she's excited to be a grandma, but this crosses the line.
This. And I hope the real thing happens soon, or your water breaks and then you will know its real!
Sorry you had to go through this and that you're mom said that. Not nice.
I had one night like this (Friday) and I really thought it was "it". Contractions five minutes apart for just a bit under an hour. Then I fell asleep and woke up and the next day, nothing. Uck.

Sorry about the false labor. Sending real labor vibes your way!
And I'm so irritated by that comment and it wasn't even my mom that said it. People get crazy about babies - wanting them to be born on their birthday, thinking they have some say in when you need to have them, thinking they will love them more than you do...
Ugh, I just want to slap folks who say all this stuff. And I like PP idea - turn off your phone and focus on you!
ETA: correction "wasn't even my mom"
I am there with you
. We are exactly the same in terms of how overdue we are and at this point, it's so frustrating. I know that doesn't help how you feel, but I'm SO there with you. I'm so frustrated with the stupid false labor pains. I had them for 6 hours every 8 minutes on Sunday--got excited and went to bed thinking I needed the rest. I woke up a few hours later and they were gone. I woke up yesterday morning, lost at least a good chunk of my mucus plug. Had them again yesterday for like an hour. Then last night I was up in the middle of the night with them.
I feel like my body is failing me, even though I know it isn't and I know this is good for actual labor.
I am fearful of induction--so much so that I did a fear release with my hypnobirthing instructor yesterday. I am being admitted on Sunday for induction, 11 days past due.
Good luck darling--I hope we both go on our own soon!
This happened to me too. Had contractions 10 minutes apart or so on Saturday night and woke up Sunday to NOTHING. So frustrating.
Girl, turn off your phone. Or just tell your mom that you're hormonal and to please forgive you, but to shut up.
I'm so so sorry. ((HUGS)) Ditto pp about turning off your phone and taking a nap.
Have you told your Mom that comments like that really hurt your feelings? You might not be able to fight her on the wisdom of Dr. Phil (whatever) but maybe she'll accept that there are some things she should not tell her daughter.
this!!! sorry jay-cee hang in there!
Turn off your phone. Take a shower. Drink some water. Take a nap. Sounds like your body is gearing up, in its own way, for the big deal! Rest while you can -- your body is giving you a break for a reason. And turn off your phone -- your mom is even driving ME nuts
he he
You can do this momma!
Tell your mom that Dr. Phil is an idiot and he isn't even a licensed therapist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THis makes DH really angry everytime he hears his voice because he is such a quack and my poor sweet hubby has worked so hard to become licensed and this yahoo makes millions of dollars just because he gives people shi&&y advice ion tv.
I hate to wish pain on you, but I hopw those contractions start coming nice and strong adn constant and you can meet your Little very soon.
