Emotional Day

Well I had contractions pretty much all day yesterday. Starting at about 2pm they were 10 minutes apart. So I decided to take a warm bath because that has been helpful in stopping false labor contractions. They continued through the bath. We went to dinner, contractions continuing. Went to bed and again the contractions continued and finally at 3:30 I decided to come out to the couch because I knew I was keeping DH awake (he wasn't complaining at all I just felt bad). I finally fell asleep at around 5am and woke up around 6am. It is now 7:30am and the contractions have more or less stopped. This is so tiring and this is the 3rd time this has happened. I had my membranes stripped on Monday and I thought I was finally progressing. I have been having false labor for almost 3 weeks now and I am simply tired. I have been crying at the drop of a pin this morning. I plan on resting and having a quiet day today. I know that no woman has ever been pregnant forever but I am so ready to be done with contractions and to meet my son. Thank you for letting me whine/vent.

Re: Emotional Day
Oh I am right there with you! I spent all day Monday with the same thing...10 minutes apart but never anything more. Some yesterday, some today but nothing is progressing. It's frustrating, especially because it hurts so it feels like you're going through it for...what? I just ry to remind myself it is doing something, it is your body's way of prepping so it's not completely for nothing.
Hang in there!

Awe thats rough. I had 4 hours of false labor at 34 weeks. Then yesterday it started at 2 and with the contractions anywhere from 30 sec to 2 min apart and 1.5+ min long each for a couple hours we went in. They slowed down but kept coming, no change to the cervix in two hours so we went home to sleep. Today i woke with lower abdominal pain and nausea...im 39 weeks on friday so still early. Without a doubt it sucks, i want to hold my baby soooo much. I must be patient deep breaths lol im just anxious but nervous because of false labor. What if i dont move fast enough when it really happens? My son was born after 3.4 hours! I dont have time to fudge. I have some anxiety about that. Wish you all the best.
