My BH turned into period like cramps on a Sunday, and I went into labor that Wednesday. We actually ended up in L+D on Sunday, because I thought it was the real deal. Of course, they stopped when I got there-figures!

It sounds like you're doing all of the right things! I will say that I knew it was active labor when nothing I did-Tylenol, shower, bath, heating pad, wine, sleep-made them tolerable. It was MADDENING though, because I had regular contractions for 4 weeks before I had LO. Good luck, and hang in there! I hope baby is here soon

@mrsrain: if that is your bloody show, that is really exciting! Labor isn't far off!

I essentially had no early labour. At 9pm at 38w2d I wiped and had bloody show with not so much as a symptom prior to that, so I knew labour might be impending. At 9:30 I bent over to pick something off the floor and my water broke. I headed to the hospital to get checked out and had no contractions until 3am. Within an hour they were 3 minutes apart and strong, and LO was born 6 hours later.

I had contractions from 34 weeks til the day I delivered (my nurse got all excited on the day of my induction when she hooked me up to the monitor. She said "You're already contracting!" I said yeah no shit. Lol)
They went from mild one minute to painful the next. I swore I was in labor 100 times. They would even get consistent and on a pattern. Even went to the hospital twice. It was frustrating but nothing ever came of it.
