Yours sounds like mine, but I hope yours does something for ya.

I've been having those tunable contractions that last for hours for 2 weeks, and they're getting stronger. It sucks. My poor stomach muscles are so sore...

My ribs and hips hurt pretty bad. Hopefully we both can get some good contractions going that will actually stick around. I had to convince hubby he could leave me and go to work... And now contractions are picking back up. Go figure. Just glad hes working closer to home today  

Still feel sick to my stomach. Guess the body is cleaning itself out... Good sign i guess. Im gonna clean a little and take a nap later!

I am feeling kind of sick to my stomach today, too. I wish labor would go ahead and come on it's own, I schedule my c-section tomorrow.

I couldnt do a csection... Unless i HAD to.. u know? I was induced with my last 2 kids and they are 2 and 3 now... But i dont wanna be induced either. I had too many complications during and after. So.... Im really hoping my body will pick up the pace!!

I had a c-section with my daughter, so I am trying for a VBAC this go round. I am really hoping my body will go into labor on it's own, because they won't induce me, nor will they allow me to go over due, and I am due on Tuesday.

Hopefully your body will do it! Seems like mine gets going and then stalls. I think next time they get like last night im gonna go to L&D... Im due and they should keep me and help it to keep going.... I would think.

Idk. When I was in L&D Monday night, my contractions were 3-4 mins apart and getting stronger, and they still sent me home. I cried like a little baby, too. My Ob told me to go in when they're like that, yet they send me home telling me to come back in when they're closer together and stronger.

Oh i hate that... When the dr tells u one thing and the hospital tells u another.
I just got up from a little nap and i am now having some brown and clear discharge! Guess these contractions really are doing something! Ive never lost my plug before!!

Just had to update quick.....Caelyn is 3 weeks old today and we just got back from our WIC appointment and my lil chunk put on almost another pound since her 2 week check up. She is now 8lbs 11oz so she is 1lbs 10oz heavier than her birth weight!! Guess she is getting plenty boobie ha. I'm also down 23lbs now

Woohoo!!!! Sounds like labor is fixing to start!

Isn't it frustrating!! I went to the hospital 5 times with contractions that were under 5mins apar, and I had contractions that came and went for 3 weeks! I did just like my doc said, only to get sent home 4 of the times. I figured being a sched csection, they would keep me, but they said it wasnt real labor. I almost didnt go in the 5th time, but my hubby, mom and MIL insisted. I was nauseous, had diarrhea, had no appetite and had a lot of vaginal pressure. On the way to the hospital, the contractions got closer together, lasted longer and were more painful! Turns out, I was actually in labor! And luckily, my doc was on call!

I think the fact that I pitched such a fit with them over me wanting a vbac that they won't keep me unless they can't turn me away. I think if I was fine having a c-section, they would have taken her the last time I was there. I've been having this issue for 2 weeks now./ I am so aggravated by this, too. I seriously wonder if, because of me being sent home so many times, if I am even going to catch real labor in time to make it to the hospital on time. My worst fear is to be sent home yet again, and that's keeping me from wanting to go until my water is running down my leg or my contractions are so bad I am in tears.

I said the same thing, that I wasn't going back unless my water had broken! I started having contractions at 35 weeks, which they stopped. I thought for sure when I went in at 36 and then 37 weeks that they would just do the csection then, but they said no, b/c they wanted to keep her in as long as possible. They would just keep me for a few hours and then when the contractions stopped they'd send me home. As soon as I'd get in the truck and be on our way home, the contractions would come back! Everytime I went, my doc wasn't on call and the on call doc wouldn't even call her. At my last appt, I let my doc have it. I was so frustrated, tired, cranky and having pains everywhere. And we don't live close to the hospital, so being told that "it's a normal part of pregnancy and unfortunately you have to keep coming in so we can make sure it's not real labor" didn't make me happy at all. Honestly though, after looking back on everything I'm glad she stayed in til 38 weeks.

The sad thing is, I was 38w6d last time I was in there. My contractions hadn't stopped, they were getting stronger and more frequent. I was there long enough for them to check my cervix once, and do the fluid test. They came in, told me my water wasn't broken, and told me I was free to go and come back in when my contractions were closer together and more frequent.

So had another appointment still a centimeter. Dr stripped my.membranes and scheduled to check in Monday night and have baby Tuesday morning. Unless she comes before. Its all soaking in now. Very nerves. Hoping not to have a c section. Dr told me i have a chance because im being induced baby is big and even having big hips can all lead to a c section. Hope all goes well and hope she's healthy and hoping for a healthy delivery
