Well this little girl is being super stubborn & didn't make her dramatic entrance into this world yet lol. I've been having contractions like crazy the past week & they've gotten intense & painful the past few nights. They average about 7-10 minutes apart, start around 7pm & stop at 3 am. Its so annoying! I tried going for a walk up a big hill, eating pineapple, and been drinking raspberry tea but nothing! I even tried some weird coffee trick but it didn't do anything lol.

I had someone tell me she just had her 4th baby & she went to 42 weeks because she thought her contractions had to be at least 4 minutes apart for an hour, but the nurse told her because it was her 4th, she could have gone in when they were 7 minutes apart & they would have broken her water.

This is my 3rd baby, i wish i knew this a week ago, it would have saved me a week of sleepless nights! If it happens tonight I'm soooooooo going to the hospital.

this always happens to me, just when I think that this is it! they stop, and I've had 10... but on the upside, you will probably go straight into active labour so it will be reasonably quick, I would rather be up and down in the middle of the night for a week or so and have a quick labour than have nothing and have to start from scratch :)

Relax. Baby will come when she is ready. So you may have to be pregnant 42 weeks. 2 extra weeks of being uncomfy. But hope you start soon! Walk walk walk. Find a massage therapist that knows pregnancy massage. Certain trigger point can help induce labor.
