    contractions every 1/2 hour

    Hi ladies, my contractions started every 1/2 hour from 11pm last night.
    They lasted until 10.30 am this morning, now I have no pains what so ever? I drank 1liter of water do you think it may have been dehydration? I'm 40 + weeks
    i also had a show again this morning

    It sound fairly normal, which is a good thing, but also very frustrating I know!! I'm going to say that absolutely last thing you want to hear, but lots of pre-labour is very normal and your bodies way of 'warming up' before established labour! Try to stay relaxed and rested, and use the time when you have 'pre-labour' contractions to workout the best way to deal with them so that when they start coming ery close together you'll have ways to deal with that. hope it isn't too much longer. I do know how frustrating it is though, pre-labour went on for WEEKS for me. At least you know you aren't too far away now
