It's driving me crazy. For the third night in the week, I've been kept up all night by painful contractions that feel like early labor. They get closer and closer until they are ~5 mins (or less) apart and then begin to space out and eventually fizzle to nothing. It's so frustrating. With my son, my first painful contraction was IT--it was labor. Now I've had 3 false starts.
It's not ALL bad because these episodes are opening my cervix and effacing me (says my doc, I'm now 3 cm, and w/ my son I was only 1.5 before going into labor). Not a huge deal but it's the only silver lining I can find right now.
I'm so mentally and physically worn out from having to stay up all night and then take care of my son during the day. Hubby stayed home from work today so I could sleep and go to the doctor. She didn't have much to say about these false starts, just that my body is still "Getting ready".
So. FRUSTRATED. I'd really like to know if anyone else has had this. TIA!
