False alarm

Alyssa

So first off I want to make clear before anyone judges... My previous pregnancy is had to be induced at 36 weeks due to preeclampsia and he had to stay in the NICU a while, so the last thing I want is my baby here before she is ready. With that being said, yesterday I was completely convinced she had decided she was ready to come (38 wks 5 days). I was having pretty regular waves that were occurring no matter what activity I was doing. They felt very different from the BH I had been having. I knew that if it was the real deal, it was really early on so I didn’t get to worked up but did contact those that needed to be on alert. Then... it completely fizzled... and now I fell really disappointed. I was so sure she was coming ( with my previous I was induced before I ever had any waves on my own, and didn’t respond very well to being on magnesium so the whole birth was a blur that I only remember bits and pieces of). Now I don’t trust that I will know when it’s really time. I feel like a FTM all over again. Now I’m feeling a bit defeated and less patient than I have ever been...
