OMG!!! That happened to me in the end of my last pregnancy!!! I woke up in the middle of the night to a horrible contraction that did not go away! I was like that for about 2-3 hours. I cried and rocked the whole time. I didnt want to go to the hospital though. In the morning I called my hospital midwife and she told me to come in. I was about 40 weeks, and she thought that I could have started labor.. but nope.. nothing had changed... and i had just been checked a few days earlier at my appointment. It really pissed me off because nobody belived me that it lasted that long!

: I ended up getting induced at 42 weeks (hospital policy) and when they first started the Pit I had the same feeling. It only lasted about an hour.. when they turned the Pit up it stopped, and normal contractions started happening. I always wondered if my body was trying to go into labor. OR,

it could have been gas.

Anyway, I never have heard of anyone who has had this. I dont feel so bad now! But Im sorry it happened to you.
