re: Am I in real labor? Advice please.

Quoting My Widdle:" If I do go to sleep, is it possible that ill wake up and have to deliver like that minute?"

Prob not...the closer together they get the more intense they will get..

<blockquote><b>Quoting Emily M Smith:</b>" Prob not...the closer together they get the more intense they will get..the likely hood of being able to sleep through them is not likely"</blockquote>




Ok that's good because I would freak out

Why do they last so long?

I personally don't know anyone who's slept through unmedicated labor and woken up about to deliver... but I suppose it's possible!! lol Don't freak out though. I know for sure when I was in labor with my daughter there was no way I could have slept through that last leg of labor before I started pushing. It was very intense and quite painful... You will definitely know when it's time to go to the hospital. Try drinking some water, and take a bath. If you get out of the bath and you feel like your contractions are more intense, then it's likely the real deal. If they taper off, your body is probably just preparing. Best of luck to you!!

Oh ok, I didn't think so but I tend to think about all these what if situations. I'm going to try and get some sleep and see how things go. And thank you

Totally normal to run thru all those scenarios. I'm on baby number three and I realized recently that I'm still going to worry. haha Hope you get some good rest!!!! Good luck mama!!

I hope this is it for you hun! Good luck x

Any update?

After I went to sleep the contractions seemed to have become less stronger. I woke up a few times during the night and was still feeling a lot of pressure, and am still feeling it now but I don't think they're contractions.... I'm going to clean and walk around to see if it does anything.

How are you doing?

Did you have the baby?
