Braxton hicks or contractions ?

[JBM]

thanks for your replies guys... i woke this morn with a very painfull stabbing pain in my lower tummy area... sort of near my ovaries but it was only one then went away.
i had a false alarm with DS 3 about 5 weeks before he was due and had pains every 5 mins started dialating then nothing ?!. i dialted 2 cm then had another 3 weeks of waiting ??/?

im coping with the pains and since theyre not regular i dont think it is the REAL thing..... but i dont think it will be long


getting nervous now

well now i need to add to it "pre labour"thats what the midwives call it anyways

i started labour.. pains coming every 6 minutes and even midwives said looks like real thing, but nothing was happening........

so went home.....
only to come back that evening with 3 min apart pains

this time something was happening. i have dialted 4 cm

baby is engaged really low....

plug has come out....
but now i have had nothing 18 hours. not even a hint of a contraction ?????????????????



but it must be close now and doc says i wont last the week

fingers crossed no more false pains !!
