feel like I'm on a see saw...up and down

[cmoma]

I feel like I keep tetering back and forth? Is this IT, Or NOT. Contx pick up I go hmmmm then there gone! Its making me nutsy Along with the rest of you I am sure.

I had a sweep down yesterday morning and was crampy most of the day, later on the contx picked up and were fairly regular but just weren't strong enough. I fell asleep only to be woken up by them but after 3om on the ball the petered out. Woke this morning to more contx. But it wasn't till around 4 that I had a really big one, found mucus on underwear. They've been around since then (the contx) but don't seem to be going anywhere:

OY! I just needed to vent a little, I'm sitting at around 4cm 50+% effaced baby at -2 station. Just WAITING. Come out baby bug PLLLLEEAASSSEE

I know so many of us are going through this right now. I just feel like I keep getting so close to real labor when BAM the contx just go away.

Patience.....I know its just so hard.

I'm right there with you. It's frustrating.

I'm there too. I had a good series of contractions last night and some serious cramping. It was about 4am and this lasted about an hour and a half. I must have fallen back to sleep between contractions, and when I woke back up around 6:30 things had really dissipated. Sigh.
