and day 3 here we go. ..

3rd day of this "false" Labor and Omg I never want to be pregnant again lol .. my contractions are seriously sooo damn painful but aren't close together . I've slept an total of like 3 hours these past three days,  ... I'm 100 effaced and 4 cm! Asof Thursday that it! I wanna go get checked again but I don't want another hospital bill if I just get sent home .. I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow! I've tried walking, bouncing, sex, hot baths & showers and my contractions still range about 10 minutes apart .. my nurse told me to come back when my water breaks but I'm scared it won't and I'm scared that when the real stuff happens they'll be like "well you're 9 cm too late for epidural" man I really didn't think these painswould hurt so bad ! I can't even pee without getting a hhorrific contraction!! Im just praying he will come today or tomorrow because honestly this ***** so bad!

I would really just go in.
There's no reason for you to be waiting at home impatient and in pain when you should already be in your hospital room.

4cm should have you admitted ?? Thats his it is at my hospital. With my first I had false labor for 2 weeks. My water broke 26 hours before I dealivered my son and they told me it didn't...i knew I did but I figured the doc knew whatnshenwas taljng about lol. Apparently not anyway when I went back about 15,hours into labor I was 7cm 90& effaced a land chipper lol. It wasn't intense until 9cm and that is actually when I got my epidural but only BC I proved I could sit still through a few contractions. Good luck hun...the time is near!

That's what I've heard from everyone! I was so pissed!! I was like well what about these contractions and she was like once you can't talk through them or watch your tv show anymore without wanting to scream then come back I was like ok.. stupid lol .. but my mother and boyfriends mother have been saying just wait until the contractions are 2 - 5 minutes apart for an hour and very unbearable .. They aren't that close but they are unbearable!

Ahhh. Sounds pretty bad but you'll get through it. Just a little more to go.

Idk why they would send you back home id you're 100% effaced and 4cm already,they shouldn't

I know the hospital bills are killers but its been a few days that you were told you were 4cm, I think you should go and tell them you aren't going home.
