I don't get it, my body is backward

Nothing I do that people say should "bring on labor" is working. In fact if anything it STOPS my contractions. Eating pineapple, spicey food, walks, sex....I've tried all of the above and either nothing happens or worse, I do them while having contractions to keep things rolling and they stop! Now I'm laying here in bed and the contractions have started up again and I'm afraid to move in case they stop! This is so frustrating! Is this happening to anybody else? I feel like the exception to the rule :(

Re: I don't get it, my body is backward

  • Pretty much the only thing I (or I guess I should say, DH & I) have tried is sex. And I swear, I think the only thing his semen has done is get me pregnant!! Lol! Just be happy you're actually having contractions. My body won't even do that! :/ I feel like I'm on a long road to a c/s.

  • This keeps happening to me to. I womder if stress is causing them to stop. As soon as i start to relax they come back and will happen overnight then i start gettimg all excited and they stop again. Hahaha so frustrating. Hang in there
  • It's very normal for bh to stop when you start moving and I know for me bh got painful and timeable the last month of pregnancy.  Hang in there you'll have your lo soon,  I'm sending labor dust your way.

  • I hope it is soon. Just laying here for an hour I had about 6-7 contractions. Still pretty irregular but I got up and went to the bathroom and passed a very large amount of bloody mucus. I was actually suprised it was so much, it kind of startled me! I've had little bits all day but this was about a palm full (probably tmi)...hopefully this means things will start for real!

    This is me! I got especially excited today because I was having contractions all night last night and couldn't sleep then my OB stripped my membranes this morning (at 2-3 cm whereas on Tues I was 0). But now no contractions in the last several hours.  At least I know some progress is being made I guess 

  • I just wanted to say good luck and hope it happens very soon for you!

    Thank you! :) Contractions have subsided again today since I've been cleaning...contemplating a nap or going to lay down and knit since that seems to do the trick; ha!
