It's got a bit worse. Now sort of back to 7 minutes.

Urgh I can see this being a long day!
 
Have you taken some paracetamol? May help take the edge off if not. Poor you - why can't these things start in the morning after a full night of rest! x
 
Oh cupcake very exciting. If it's labour it can start like that with contractions all over the place and irregular. It might be that baby needs to move into a better position. Have you got a birthing ball you can bounce on or rotate your hips on? Also go for a walk if you have the energy. Being on all fours during a contraction is also supposed to help baby move.
It's so frustrating though when it's not clear, my second was a big like that, stop/start and I was exhausted as like you say it's very difficult to sleep through those kinda pains. You will find though probrably that when it really gets going thats it- no messing, it will go quick then xxx
 
Thanks ladies.

Still at every 6 minutes about a minute long. Getting a bit more painful I think.

Might go for a walk soon.
 
Oooohhhh cupcake!!!! How exciting!!!

Get bouncing/walking...I'm so excited for you! !

Woo hoo! We managed to move home and I managed to do the fantastic job of keeping baby in :) lol BHs are really ramping up though! Only 3 weeks left at the most!! X
 
Good luck cupcake! They can start irregular so this could def be it!
 
Thanks ladies.

Still coming. Back up to 7 minutes but the last one was 11.

Bouncing on the ball makes it hurt more but doesn't increase frequency it appears.

Going to try a walk now. Bet it starts raining!!!
 
Ooooh cupcake how exciting! I hope they move on soon for you. Is DH still in bed?
 
No he woke about 5:30.

Back from our walk. Didn't speed anything up. :(

How disheartening :(
 
Just keep moving about. My midwife said ironing is very good as you naturally rock side to side. Mind you, I won't iron when I feel ok let alone uncomfortable! Couple of paracetamol and a Bath?

they wont do them before 39 weeks here I was hoping at least 38 and a half but no such luck haha
Click to expand...

same here but i'm a 4th section so there is more risk of uterus rupturing before 39 weeks so they want him out at 38 xx
 
I don't think this is false labor cupcake, been going too long even if the contractions are irregular. Mine were irregular right up until DD was born. Even after pitocin drip.

Walk swaying side to side, bounce/roll on the ball, sit down on something about 24" off the ground (a stair? stool? something short), but don't lay down. Gravity will help you with this one, so laying down won't put pressure on your cervix to ripen. It's been a little while since you posted, I'm hoping that's because you're either sleeping or labor has really kicked off for you!
 
I was sleeping.

Up again now and they're every 6 minutes again. Slept for an hour though so don't know if I didn't have a contraction or was able to sleep through them.

Would you all agree it's pointless calling the hospital already?
 
Oooh exciting cupcake it does sound like the real thing.

Hospital don't tend to want to know until they are more like 5 mins apart lasting a good minute but if you are struggling with the pain I would give them a call and explain the situation, they might just want you to come in and get checked, even if they send you home again for a bit. XX
 
Cupcake to be honest the hospitals almost expect first timers to call and go in early, they won't mind and you at least know if you are dilating. I don't see anything wrong with that.
Our hospital says they want you to be having 3 contractions in a ten minute period before you come in but last time I went in because I was getting on/off contractions for 4 days and they checked me and told me I was dilating (2cm) so when things properly kicked off the next day I knew to wait for the right amount of contractions in the space of time and went in at 5cm.
 
Thanks ladies.

Still the same as ever. Not phoned yet. I've got my mum and super close family friends round so we're having a nice time although I'm going to try and get some more sleep now as I've come over super tired.
 
I'm a hormonal mess today. Hubby went into work even thou its his day off. He left at 10 saying I'll only be a few hours, that was 6 hours ago. I'm at home knackered emotional and in pain with a toddler who I can't play with as it hurts to much.

To top it all he took my car meaning my maternity notes are at the airport lets hope I don't go into labour. I don't know if I'm being pregnant or hormonal and I'm in the wrong. Or he is all I've heard from him is one text an hour ago saying he won't be long. I was expecting him home at 2 at the very latest
