14 hours

[myrmom]

of contractions!!! That is what I have been dealing with....they are not really painful at all just freaking annoying and non stop...they are coming anywhere from 2-10 min apart and they haven't let up. I didn't sleep becasue I kept thinking this is it and I just couldn't sleep. I tried I really really tried becasue I want to be well rested but it was pure torture.

I am emotionally drained...I have never experienced prelabour like this before and I don't honestly know how much more I can take of it. I am frustrated and sad and dissapointed and my stomache is now sore from the constant contractions, even though they don't really hurt they are causing my tummy to ache.

I just want labour to start...real pains I can deal with, this is just causing me grief. I tried nipple stimulation last night a few times and that seemed to get things going somewhat but after awhile they would peter out again. My in laws are coming in a bit to pick up the boys and then we are going for a long walk.

Please send labour vibes to me...I would like this to happen soon.

Hi, of course, you deserve lots of support and

:

I can relate; I've been in "pre-labor" for almost two weeks now. It's like this kid is crying wolf. I'm afraid I won't believe it when the real thing starts happening!

Rest easy, and I hope your baby arrives soon!

It's so frustrating to have nice regular ctrx that just putter out. I can imagine 14 hours is especially grueling! It may help you to remember that they are doing something and helping you get ready to birth your baby, even if it feels like it's all for nothing!

I hope you enjoy having a break from caretaking duty and that your walk is refreshing and maybe it will help get things going. Keep resting as you can and make sure you're eating/drinking enough.

Lots and lots of good labor vibes going out to you mama!

I'd be frustrated too! :

Can you take some cal/mag and a hot bath, then a nap? Maybe that would help you relax enough to not hurt so much!

, hope something happens soon!

[Dahlea]

i hope it starts for you soon!

[trimestersdoula]

Oh, mama! I hope things pick up for you soon so you can get it over with. Please keep us updated.

well walking did nothing.....we were gone for over two hours with a quick stop for lunch.... contractions have completely stopped now...so I am back to waiting. At least my body can rest a bit now...(trying to be positive here)

Oddly enough, what you're going through sounds EXACTLY what I went through yesterday to a T. Hopefully you have better luck than I did and your contractions start coming on more regular and stronger. Good luck! Sending labor vibes!!

I'm sorry it petered out. Extremely frustrating, isn't it? ((hugs)) Hopefully we'll have our babies soon. BTW... you're due the day before me. Kinda funny that we experienced almost the same exact thing and our EDD's are so close. Good luck hon!!

it is super annoying!!! I think it means that the real labor pains won't last nearly as long That's the only thing that I tell myself to keep from getting upset about this baby staying put I, like you, am just soooo ready for the real thing to start up!!!! Big hugs momma!!!
