that's how yesterday was with me...i had them pretty regular for about 4 hrs., called the doctor and he wanted me to try to move positions, etc.  (yeah, easy for him to say when it's 100 frigging degrees outside lol)  they slowly stopped and have just been having them off and on again!!  ugghh!!  lol

hang in there, ladies...we are in the final stretch of things!!  :)

been having lots of BH's - only a few times were they painful. nothing too steady or regular. my doc says now that i'm 36 weeks he wouldn't stop labor - so keep your fingers crossed i get some good, regular ones!

mine have been intense the last week, but not 4.1.1 pattern. Doc says he'd stop it anyway, so my only hope at this point is my water breakin :)

i get them on and off.  Once I had to go to OB triage and they gave me a shot of terbutaline to calm down the uterus.  I was on the verge of going last night, but I rode them out.
