I can totally relate to this post. I started with “contractions” at 20 weeks. In the past two week of my pregaqnancy I had many episode of “false labor”. I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the real thing, then it hit me like a ton of bricks.

oh, yes, i’ve been having those “false labor” contractions since month 5. and did with my first, too. and, as with my first, they keep building in intensity and sheer horribleness the further along i get. so yes, i feel your pain. quite literally.

and by the way–what you said in your more recent post? about how “she does it because she has no choice?” you hit the nail on the head. my child perhaps isn’t dying as obviously or as quickly, but today when i looked into his eyes and saw…nothing, it sure as hell felt like it. so i’ll keep your sister and all the other moms who do it because they have no choice in my thoughts.

Dude. I hate false labor. I have it for weeks and weeks, every time- this pregnancy it has started so much easier, and I just have to try to ignore it, but it’s not easy. AT. ALL.

Sorry about the lamo parts of pregnancy.

False labour? It’s not false and it is labour…just not the kind that results in the auto deflate of midsection and all. Good luck and hang in there…like you have a choice…so don’t wanna go there again…

Schmutzie – if, after having this child, my uterus decides that enough is enough and just drops right out of my body? I might not mind so terribly much.

I joke. Sort of.

I hope that labour thing happens PDQ, because it sounds like not only are you uncomfortable, also you’re getting no sleep. It’s stories like this that make me see the bright side of being uterusless.

I am coming into this late but I just have to add my 2 cents. I’ve read your blog for a while, I may have commented once? Or not? Or just thought I did. LoL But still, I’ve read and I’ve enjoyed your sharing your blog. Especially since I do not have a family of my own and I enjoy hearing your your family.

People are just strange sometimes. As always, online makes people feel they can say anything and everything.

Don’t let them sway you. You have a lovely story going here and I look to see what you’re doing and how you are.

Take great care and hope you have no more false labor.

Escape from witch Mountain ... I haven't thought about that movie in YEARS and I loved it!!! And the sequel.

Manservants, now that's a great idea.

False labour sux. Hope the actual labour goes smoothly!

Ugh. Totally bites. I started contracting about a week before Pumpkinpie was born, and they were all, “Oh, it’s only your cervix just starting to ripen, you are so not ready to go yet.” and I was all, “WHAT? So it must get worse, then?!”

don’t forget to pack us TO girls’ numbers in your bag in case you need a drop off, okay? And make HBF rub your crampy legs.
