UGH!!!!

Well I guess from last I posted... I thought I was in the beginning of labor...

NO.

Ever since I posted that my body has been playing GAMES with me.

I've noticed a pattern here...
After 7pm, I'll start to get LOADS of contractions... but they never get painful enough or regular enough to make that trip to L&D.
And then they'll stop no later than 1am.

EVERY SINGLE NIGHT SINCE I'VE POSTED MY LAST POST THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING.

The doc said not to bother coming in because I'm just gunna sit there n be bored and uncomfortable... and not to really bother until the contractions become more regular and start to hurt.
Because my contractions get painful enough JUUUUST to p*ss me off. And that's it.
It's not enough to do anything other than that.

I've tried walking on the treadmill to make them get worse.
I've purposely tagged along with my MIL or whoever that's going shopping just to make myself walk around.
I've tried taking a hot bath/shower.
I've tried drinking ice water.
I've tried having sex.
I've tried EVERYTHING I could possibly think of, and everything my MIL and mother could think of and NOTHING is working.

I went shopping 3 times at Target/Walmart with my MIL and hubby for last minute things for the baby both today AND yesterday.
And it was working yesterday night.
It made the contractions more intense and I remember 2 er 3 of them being actually quite painful... but finally at 12:30am I just couldn't hang no more so I went to lay down and they just stopped coming AGAIN.

I can't stand being pregnant anymore guys I'm so miserable and huge.
ANY advise as to something I can do to try n help myself along I would GREATLY appreciate.
I REEEAAALLLYYY don't wanna have to go in on the 9th and get induced.
Cuz that's what it's come to.
The doc wants me in on the 9th if I don't go into natural labor, to induce me.
And from what I heard... it ***** more than going into labor yourself.

UGH.

Thanks ladies.
I don't wanna take anything to help myself along.
Cohosh I heard could cause issues.
And I've been perminently scarred by "Castor Oil Stories."
LOL

Ugh.
If nothing happens this weekend, I'm going in Monday.
They said to wait till a week overdue, but this on and off contractions cr@p is really getting on my nerves... and besides... I'll already be 4 days over due-
so they might as well just go ahead with it. lol

You could take the herb blue cohosh to get contractions going and once they are going strong for a few hours take black cohosh to dilate. I took blue cohosh and effaced to 100%.. it didnt totally bring labor on but it helped do SOMETHING!

Also swinging on swings at the playground down the road from our house helped too. plus it was kinda fun :)

good luck sweetie!

Hang in there girlie and trust me being induced isn't all that bad. I wanted to go naturally too and ended up having to be induced and I was surprised because I was imagining it to be a LOT worse.

Hang in there!

My due date WAS yesterday, [[October 2nd]] incase you didn't know, thinking I might be trying to go into labor early. lol
