For the past two weeks I've been having irregular contractions that last for about 4-5 hours, then yesterday afternoon they started again and progressed to regular 5 mins apart so I called my dr, my doula, made arrangements for my 2 year old, and my husband came home from work. 12 hours later they were still 5 mins apart so I decided to go and get checked at l&d. I was 1cm dilated and having regular 7min apart contractions. They gave me the choice to stay because I'm trying for a vbac. I decided to go back home and try to rest. Now everything has stopped. I am so upset. I feel like my body is failing... I am 38 weeks 3 days and I know I don't have long but this constant start and stop really has me on edge. I am so scared to have another c-section and the closer to my due date I get the more likely it will happen. Has anyone else labored like this?? I don't know how much more I can take.
