so im 37wks 5days and so yesterday as i was getting ready to go get my nails done i started getting really bad cramps that wouldnt go away....well they would but would come back every 5 mon or less so i sat and relaxed and timed them for an hour and they didint stop so i went in at like 4 started getting them at 2:30pm and it hurt so badly cuz they were actull contractions and they wheeled me to the labour and delivery room and got me on monitors and stuff and i was bymyself at the time so i was like so emotional and a wreck and crying it was very sad for me...so they check me to c if im dialated and nope i wasnt just bout 95% effaced. so they sent my urine to get tested everything came out good so they couldnt figure out what was wrong so they left me on monitors for like 2hrs came back and checked again not dialated yet so they gave me a shot on my butt to see if it would stop my contractions an 1.5hrs go by and im still hurting so they call my doctor to come in and he wanted to induce me since my contractions were now at like 3 min apart and instead he gave me an iv with stuff to make them stop because i wasnt dialating after 5hrs and was still getting contractions but not feeling them so yeah it sucked....i dont know how you girls can handle going into labor it hurts...

i really hope your right about the whole pain situation.lol

you poor thing. lol .... theres no turning back now!!  as least you know what to expect pain wise. maybe you can prepare yourself mentally for the pain... and it might not be so bad. its a little amount of pain for a lot of gain. just wait until you hear your baby cry for the first time... you completely forget the pain.

Yeah, Idk as I haven't really had any close brushes other than a few braxton hicks lol.. Well I hope it doesn't hurt THAT bad.. In the end the good outweighs the bad anyway and im sure you and DH will be talking about more babies when you are leaving the hospital lol

yeah i was deff scared then my husband finally got there and i just started crying even more.lol so sad. i think i might have just been dehiderated(sp)...my contractions seriously felt nothing like strong menstrual cramps at all....it was horrible an i know what you mean when you say your baby was pushing on your bladder and it was like contraction,pee pants.lol that happens to me often.. i was totally exited for labour and to meet my little man and dont get me wrong when i say this but yesterday sucked bad that i can wait now. not to exited for labor anymore i thought i could handle it but turns out i dont know if i can but i have to i have no choice. and besides i do want to see my son but when hes ready.

Im sorry about your crappy experience.. It must have sucked going there by yourself! Ugh I would not like that at all.. I think I was having false labor on Sunday night.  I was driving home from work and having a lot of pressure and period like cramps in my lower back and abdomen, but they would come and go and weren't regular at all so I imagine they were just braxton hicks.. My mom said that was probably what they were and if they became regular that we would go in.. Plus the baby was punching my bladder on top of it so it would be like Contraction, pee my pants, contraction, pee my pants.. lol it was lovely.. Wow I can't believe you are already almost 38 weeks! are you excited to meet your little boy? Or more scared about labor? lol Im not too worried about labor.. I started lamoze on Wed. and I love it.. its so relaxing, it actually makes me kind of excited for labor.  (weird I know) but my mindset is that its going to happen whether Im ready for it or not so I have no choice! lol well good luck with the rest of your pregnancy, hopefully you dont have any other scares
