And i wanna cry. I keep having contractions that wake me up at night but they fade and i go back to sleep until it wakes me up again. :(. And i feel like hes floated up into my ribs again cuz its always hard up towards my chest constantly. He had been engaged a few weeks ago and my last appointment he was at -2. I havent progressed in weeks. Im so depressed -_-. End vent

dont be depressed, this is good news, :) this is what always happens to me, I can even time them, then after about two hours they go, but when I go into labour I go straight into active labour, I'm not saying that this will happen to you, but at least your body is practicing with these contractions, imagine not having any!! your body is doing a great job, I'm sure things will be progressing with your cervix, so chin up and your body is getting prepared :)

Oh and my cervix opened to 2 cm one day and then two days later when I was in full on labor, I was still only 6 cm THEN in 4 hours, I went from 6 to fully dilated and 4.5 hours after hospital check-in - my daughter was here!!! Don't worry ladies our bodies will allow it to happen!!

Lol, he'll be here!! What man do you know ever got it right right away or the first time for that matter?!?! Try not to watch the calendar or count down, it'll just make you more anxious! I try and remind myself its plus 2 weeks, I know its worse case but that way I'm not pacing the floor. Try a bath before bed maybe?!?! Hang in there, almost done!!! ;-)
