They are SO irregular. I've been getting them since 2pm today. They are every 10 minutes, then every 15, then every 7, and some hurt a lot and go to my back, and others just hurt a little. I had one a half an hour ago and I was ready to go to the hospital it hurt so bad. I tried eating, taking a shower, and now I am sitting down, and they are still happening but spaced out again. I got one while typing this, and it's definitely going to my back, and it did last around 1-2 minutes but the consistency is not there and it's so disappointing. I know they aren't doing anything major. I've also had a lot of diahrrea today, and that is one of my biggest prelabor signs, especially because I haven't eaten anything different.

Do you think I should try walking and see if they pick up? Or just assume nothing is happening and go to bed, LOL.

I'd go to bed! I can't believe your due date is pretty much here! I swear you just got your bfp.

Come on baby!

Yeah, I'm thinking I'm just gonna try and get some sleep. Kylie has her third round of hiccups today, so hopefully that means she's preparing herself to be born. I am just annoyed by these contractions, they are uncomfortable, but don't seem to be changing, they are just there.

Mine didn't really hurt until my water broke. Maybe yours will be the same way! It doesn't necessarily mean they aren't productive!

I agree with getting some rest because you will need it. It sounds like your body is gearing up for labor and delivery! It's very exciting.

mine fluctuated between 2-12mins apart for ages when I started labouring. Even when I went to the hospital and was a confirmed 4cm, they were irregular but sore!!! 30mins later my waters broke, I was 10cm and pushing.

I think this is it Ali!!!!
