So I have been having contractions since about 1 pm (now midnight) that have increased steadily. They aren't unbarrable though. I feel like I have definetly dialated and the contractions are keeping me from sleeping. Is this labor?? Should I go into the hospital just to see? I mean maybe they would give me some pitocin to kick things into gear...HELP ↓

it definitly wouldn't hurt to go(if you haven't yet) because every woman and every pregnancy is soo different.with my son I was in labor forever! I started having mild contractions at 9:00 pm on a saturday and had him 8:00am on a monday, but I know of people who it only took hours from they're first contraction....Sheesh I am typeing this and you prolly had your baby already!!lol ↑

So I went at about 2:30 this morning when my contractions started coming very regular every 5 minutes. Was being mointored for a while but since things didn't seem to be to progressing too fast they sent me home where I could be more comfortable. I am hoping things still go along today while I'm home. I am just going to get lots of rest and lots of walking. Wish me luck! ↑

I know how you feel, it was that way for me... on the saturday when i first started haveing mild contractions... i knew it was nothing...then at 12:30 sunday afternoon I was made to go to the hospital because the contractions were getting worse.... I was 1 centemeter dialated then...that's it!!! then they were real bad at 5:00 so I went back and I was 1.5 cm dialated.... so I was all like I am not going back to that hospital today... then at 12:00 in the night I was literly moaning in pain...and I was forced to go again..and I was 5 cm dialated... so it began very slow for me too and once it actually progressed it progressed fast! I just remember lyeing in the bed in labor and delivery... just so comfortable because of the epadural... I hadn't been ache and pain free for months and months before that.. i was just starting to fall asleep when bang.. my water broke....lol
but no worries your time is getting close.... wow you must be so excieted, prolly a little scared too ↑

WOW I would hate that. I started to have labor pains about midnight with my son. I went to the hospital at about 3:30am or so and I had my son at 4:21pm. Prior to that midnight I hadn't had any signs or symptoms or labor. Im am sorry to hear that this is going on for days that would really suck. I hope you have the baby soon so that you can feel better and hold your little one ↑
