I can't wait for my baby to get here and I'm getting so frustrated and emotional over all of this. With my first pregnancy, I had twins and was induced at 36w5d, never had any signs of labor beforehand. Now I'm having a singleton but he has literally kicked me butt far worse than my twins did. I have been having contractions for the last 2-3 weeks, inconsistent at first lasting a few hours, to just the other night coming every 2 minutes, lasting 1-1.5 minutes, painful and lasting almost 24 hours. I've gone to the hospital 3 times first time because I was having contractions regularly but I wasn't 37 weeks, second time because I was in so much pain through them I was in tears, and then this last time is really what got me feeling defeated (the one mentioned above lasting over 24 hours). Absolutely nothing has changed in my cervix, I'm only 1 cm dilated, my body is exhausted, I feel like I'm disappointing my kids (7) because I can barely do anything, I'm embarrassed because my in laws keep having to take the kids so I can go and they have a lot on their plate too and I feel like they think I'm crazy at this point. I don't know when to actually go to the hospital anymore because they say if they're regular and so strong you can't walk or talk through them to go in, so I even waited this last time for so long (started at like 3 pm one night and I didn't go in until 2 pm the next day), I never was able to sleep, howling in pain, crying did EVERYTHING they tell you to try, walking, warm bath, drink water, switch positions and nothing helped. It's not even that I had my hopes up that he was actually coming I just needed the pain to ease up a little which it did by last night. But I'm genuinely getting to feel defeated, when they say no changes in my cervix every single time. I don't understand how any contractions, so strong and regular could literally do NOTHING.
