YOU get a contraction! YOU get a contraction! THE CONTRACTIONS ARE UNDER YOUR CHAIRSSS!!!!

Lauren
You guys - I need your help. Having a total meltdown here. I just turned 38 weeks today and I have been having contractions that are 5-10 mins apart. Went to L&D and I'm not dialated. 
Here is the thing - this has been going on for WEEKS now. How do I keep having these contractions (some of which hurt) and I not be dilated? 
I don't get it.
