Yep, third babies are notorious for the prelabour thing. Mine did it to me. (Subsequent babies are likely to do the same.) It's tiring and frustrating, but it's normal, and your body will eventually get the "real thing" going and it will probably be fast. Hang in there! This baby will eventually come out!
I'm not quite as far along as you, but I've been having contractions off and on for a couple weeks as well. I know the feeling! JUST COME OUT ALREADY BABY!
All the best for a wonderful birth, hopefully soon!
Wow this is some great information- I have #3 on the way it is very reassuring to read your responses (I am only 24 weeks so hopefully I won't need to think about it for a while) I am planning on a hospital birth but as I had prelabour for a week and then delivered 10 minutes after getting to the hospital I am also prepared for a freebirth now!
I'm still here and pregnantContractions still stopping and starting!
Had an internal yesterday and I was 3cm dilated. OB said this baby should come tonight but obviously not cos today I woke up still pregnant! LOL....
I am booked in for friday morning to have my waters boken even though the OB doesnt think I'll make it to friday....This baby is stubborn and I bet I am still pregnant friday morning!!!!!
Anyway I am mentally drained and my body is sore from this stop/start labour so I agreed to the inducing on friday. At least it has already bagan to do something so breaking my water might be the little push it needs to get going!
I'll keep you posted!
