I started contracting earlier tonight (well Sunday night around 9pm) while cooking dinner.

After we ate we decided to go for a walk around a track in town. Did that for like 45 mins.

Came back home...still contracting. Downloaded one of those contraction timers in the app store for my phone...looks like they are anywhere from 3-5 mins apart and 45 seconds to a minute long. Majority of them at a minute. I have been trying to sleep too but cant. They are not awful or anything but I am sorta breathing thru them some...so its just confusing....

I am really hoping this is the early stages of labor. My appt is in like 5 hours....if I am not dilated anymore I was supposed to be scheduling my csection.

I want my vbac if possible so prayers are good thoughts are definitely welcomed right now!!! thx

UPDATE:

No changes today progression wise. My surgery is booked for this Wednesday and we have to be there at 5 am. Tonight will be my last blood thinning shot so they can monitor my blood tomorrow at my pre-op appointment.

I am still hoping I go into labor on my own before then but I'd like to not to drive myself crazy with it. I stopped having contractions this morning around 630 am or so. I am starting to have a few more and hopefully they will keep up. I just don't really know if they are doing any good since I had them ALL NIGHT last night and had no progression today. My body never seems to cooperate.

It is nice to finally have a date though She will be here soon regardless!!!!

I hope that it's labor and you are dilating some. Please update us after your appointment today when you can. I'm thinking about you today!

Thank you! I hope so too.

Unfortunately they are a little more sporadic now...not sure if its because I am up moving around or what :/ But I had them all night last night...pretty much every 3-5 mins...sometimes every 10 though when I got up to pee and stuff.

Hoping I have some more this morning at the doctors office...I don't know if they will do an nst or not though.

Regardless I guess I plan on scheduling my surgery for tomorrow (Tues) morning.

I just had a contraction as I sat here and typed this. REALLY hope something happens TODAY to avoid the mess tomorrow!

FXed for you!!! I hope that the contractions pick back up or your far along that you can get induced instead of scheduling the c/s.

I hope you are dilated more and the contractions pick up! I really hope you get your VBAC. Sending labor vibes your way!

Hope this is it for you. My contractions stayed sporadic throughout labor and I still made it through with no Pitocin and only pushed 2min

That's how my labor started out. It'd even fizzle out for an hr or so and I"d get a nap in. I hope you get your vbac!!!!

It is frustratiing when your body does not cooperate! Good Luck either way!
