False Labor Alarms

Crystal

I have false labor alarms almost every night now. I’m 37+3 today, and have had Braxton-Hicks since 32 weeks. Now the contractions are much more painful and intense and often develop a good pattern for several hours before they just stop. I’m so frustrated at this point. It’s not that I mind being pregnant for a couple more weeks, it’s that I’m so anxious because I think I’m going into labor almost every night and then I’m fine by the morning. I’m so exhausted from the lack of good sleep. Also I feel like I’m not going to know when to go to the hospital because at this point I’m not timing my contractions. I’m doing my best to just ignore them because I feel like it’s never going to be the real thing. Obviously I know eventually it’ll be the real thing, I’m just worried I won’t know when. Anyone else going through this? 😩
