This sucks.

Rachel • This is the result of having sex.

I spent Friday at L&D for them thinking I was leaking fluid. Negative. My cervix was still high, thick and only dilated to a 1cm.

My contractions on the chart were through the roof (it goes to a 10, mine were going to a 12) and they were at 6 mins apart. This went on for three hours but I was not in labor. I was having such horrible contractions I was crying in cracker barrel and freaking our waiter out.

All day yesterday I had mild contractions from 10:30am until 9pm between 6-9mins apart. They lapsed for an hour and then I had them from 4-5mins all night until 9am this morning. Again, they stopped.

I spent my day chasing kids, cleaning house, bouncing and exercising trying to get these damn contractions into a pattern. They are sitting at 6.5mins apart almost exactly, lasting 1.20mins, for the last hour or two. I'm having severe back pain with these and mild cramping like I have to poop. I have tried everything to get them to shorten and no luck. I've also tried sleeping to stop them, water, and shower. No.

I just get to suffer. I cannot take another two weeks of this.
