They are not going away tonight

but they are not getting stronger or regular or closer together...grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I have been having contractions all evening about 20 mins apart...some strong...some really really really strong...they all last a minute at least...I went to bed and they were coming every 5 minutes...one strong...one not so strong...one strong...every 5 minutes all too strong to sleep through

After a hour and a half I got up...it's 1am and I am up and waiting...I can't sleep and I am keeping hubby awake...Sophia has a cold and is in bed with him and very restless which was irritating during a contration. They are still coming though maybe not quite so frequent...I just decided to time a few so I can get an idea...but I hate timing them.

So here I am in limbo...is it time? Not quite yet...will it become the real deal...can't tell...

I may just lay on the couch and try to sleep...will keep you posted

me too... they started in the afternoon, light but very non BH so I know it's the real thing. They were about 15 min apart when I went to bed and 10 min apart when I woke up this morning at 5. They are stronger this morning than last night but haven't gotten any stronger since. What is up with that. My midwives kept warning me that I'd go quick... yeah right!

no change here...just when I think they are gone away...the come back....so irritating...Sophia was sick last night too...went to bed around 2:45am and up again at 7am and the sleep I got wasn't sound.

I have a NST at 4pm that I am already dreading...but figure it will reassure the midwife for a week and take the pressure off.

Sounds exactly like what is happening to me. I didn't have many contractions at all yesterday but I woke up with an achy back and contractions today. Today is a good day for a baby!

That's what happened to me the day before my baby was born! Rest up as you're able, mama-- your little one is coming soon.
