Contractions stopped! So frustrated! :(

Ugh! I was having consistent, timeable contractions every 20 mins yesterday for 7 hours. Then they just stopped. I've had a few ones here and there since then, but absolutely no consistency. I've been doing lots of cleaning, so walking and getting up and down, and still nothing. I even felt up to working my shift at work today, and I'm on my feet the whole time. I'm single, so I can't use sex to jump start them again. I'm home and cleaning again, but still nothing. I've got my 39 week checkup tomorrow, and the dr said we'd talk induction then. I'm just ready for her to be out, and I thought she was ready too, but I guess not. Ugh anything else I can try ladies?

I was in the hospital Saturday (thought my water was leaking, I guess I'm just having increased thin discharge? Idk) and I was having a contraction every 4 minutes lasting a minute long. I actually lost my plug when I used the restroom during it, but the nurse said the contractions shouldn't be varying in intensity so I went home.

U can have them 2 min apart and no be admitted. U have to be dilating or your water has to be broken or leaking or bleeding for them to admit u.
