i've been having irregular painful contractions (i guess BH's) since last thursday! been to the doctor twice...the second time they were 4-7 minutes apart but only lasting 30 seconds. keep getting sent home - not in "active labor" this is SO stupid to me because i am having a c-section. just don't get why he can't put me out of my misery and take this baby out- i'll be 39 weeks on tuesday!!!!

The backache could be a sign.  The evening before I went into labor, I had a terrible backache for hours.  Then, the contractions started coming (over night), and the next day I went into full blown labor.

Good luck!!
