tightening for 3 days straight, whats my body doing????

[skybie]

hi guys
have had tightenings for 3 days straight, mostly coming every 2-5 mins, varying in intensity, sometimes i only just notice them, sometimes they stop me in my tracks. but they havent been painful at all.
i'm so over it, getting excited that this might be 'it' and then waking up in the morning and they're still the same, i'm drained and sore.
Whats going on?? hospital says its pre labour, could go on for weeks.....ummmm no thanks!!!!! bubby still wriggling but not as much as normal

I remember that happening to me. You get excited it could be it then it slows again. It shows your body is getting ready for the big event though, not too much longer til you meet your little one.

I started having prelabour symptoms at 35 weeks and they went on for 3 weeks. the best advice i can give which i wish i had of done is rest.

I think I started the same kind of thread about 2 weeks before Jacko was born! I'm with KaileysMummy, I think the best thing you can do is rest (if you can) best of luck and I'll be looking for your BA!

I've been told that every pregnancy is different and if you have never experienced this before then there is no surprise that you have no idea whats going on. In the last few weeks its awful because you want it to just end and have your baby here and so you think every little niggle is it and then nothing happens and you are let down.

I'll be thinking of you in the next few weeks
