False alarm!!

Are the any 2nd time moms out there who keep having contractions and keep thinking there going into labor and then it just ends up being false alarms lol. Well it happened to me once so far and people are like u should know this is ur second. But honestly I didn't have any contractions at the end with my first. Even when I went in to preterm labor at 7 month and then they stopped the labor I didn't even know that was happening my only sign was I started bleeding. So anyway I ended up going full term and then was induced at the last minute for low fluids. So this time around it's been completely different I've been having contractions and pressure since pretty much the 2nd trimester and I'm always paranoid she could come at any minute!!

I am 37+3 and I am so paranoid about that! For me it is hard because this is actually my third baby, so again you'd think I'd know! Myy problem is that I live 2 hours away from where I'm having my baby. So it isn't a matter of run to the hospital real quick just in case. My other problem is that my husband's work is an hour away from where we live. My first labor was 3hrs 51mins. My second was about 7 hours. If labor goes this time like it did my second, we will be fine, but if it goes like my first, we will barely make it there, if at all! So I feel this emmense pressure to know exactly when it is true labor 1) so my husband doesn't lose hours for no reason and 2) so we don't waste all that gas driving 2 hours, but are still able to make it there in time. So stressful!
