Two days of ALL Day BH

The last two days have been all kinds of uncomfortable. I'm 39 weeks today (yeah, I really should create a sig with a ticker) and still working. I'm feeling miserable, all day BH contractions of varying levels of discomfort plus a gymnast baby kicking me all over the place. I've tried sitting on a yoga ball, on a chair, on a bean bag chair nothing seems to be working.

 It's hard for me to believe that I can have contractions all day for 2 days with no progress. Honestly, some of these are so painful I'm not sure how I'll tell the difference between these and 'Real' contractions other than that they will come at regular intervals. I'm just pooped from the non-stop discomfort.

Does anyone else seem to be having all day long contractions with no real breaks?   Are you progressing any or is all this discomfort for naught?

  • I'm with you, I'm just excited that it will likely mean a faster overall labor.

     

    Yesterday they were even 5-7min apart and 1 min long for most of the day

  • I could have written this.  I am 39w1d and have contractions all.the.time.  Today they've been a bit more painful then they have been.  But I'm still only at 70% effacement and still no dilation.  Not really much else to say, just be patient (I know it's hard sometimes)!

  • I have been experiencing this since Friday.  They start to feel like they might be the real thing and then just quit.  They seem worse at night.  I thought this morning it was going to be real.  I was up at 4am and having contractions that got worse every 10-15 mins, but then they kind of calmed down and stopped being as painful.  They have not quit, they just aren't increasing discomfort-wise or coming in consistent intervals.  I have no idea if any of this is making me progress.  I will have my cervix checked again on Thursday.  Super tired of it though!

  • I've had the same for 2 days.   No idea what it means but it sucks.

  • At least I get a tiny bit of entertainment out of it, every time I wince at work everyone freaks out. I find it hilarious. At least it makes it tolerable.
  • I'm having the same thing.  I'm 39 weeks and a day, and I swear I'm just one giant contraction.  I went to the doctor today and I'm still just about 1 cm dilated- the same I've been for the past couple weeks.  Sometimes I think I'm going to have the same gestation period as an elephant!!!
