Real contractions that just.... stop?!

So we all know braxton hicks... tightening,dull, in the belly... dont get worse.. etc etc...

Well I had really low, almost like period cramps ....they HURT my back,lower belly and thighs! Got a few every 10 mins for a while! Then....nothing. They stop! Why?!
Somewhere, someone is having a blast watching me squirm! Lol

Anyone else ever have this?!

Oh definitely try! Nothing wrong with it at all. I just meant to try to take a moment to yourself if possible to relax and decompress. That could possible help your body to do what it needs to do to get your little man out.

Got ya. I'm sure if u had a successful vbac last time even though this one is measuring big you'll do it again. I really wish I could try natural on this one but my Dr said no unless I walk in and the baby is virtually falling out of me lol. And I'm step b+ with this one so I'd never chance staying at home too long in labor.

I dont have a scheduled one. Ive requested 2nd vbac. I had a successful one last time around. I just hope this one cooperates.

I've been watching for your posts because I too am having my 3rd..a boy like u and have a boy and girl already.I'm scheduled to have a section on apr 3rd but I have this dream that he'll just pop out on his own and I won't have to go through that dreaded surgery.  I go for another ultrasound tomorrow though because they think his growth may becoming restricted because he's in the 13th percentile for size at just about 5lbs. If that's the case he'll be evicted sooner. when is your scheduled section again?

Alright...
While I appreciate the wisdom and Im willing to accept it might not happen naturally, I HAVE TO TRY! I have had tons of ultrasounds seeing how he measures so big and not once have we seen a cord around the neck. I might be having another this week. Ill be sure to check again.
I have had a c section. It blew. Big time. I have 2 kids now and my husband can only take a week at most off. How am I supposed to move around my 3 level home,with 2 kids. Unable to drive for 8 weeks. On pain meds. I drive a school bus! Its just not something I can really let happen without trying to fight it!
Im not just being impatient. I am trying to work this stessful situation out the best for my family.
