For the last two...It is such a relief to read this! For the last two weeks, every afternoon u start to get regular contractions. If I remain upright or go for a walk they come every 2-3 minutes and last for 45-90 seconds, getting stronger and more painful. Yet, as soon as I sit or lie down they become like period pains then peter out. Although we were told about latent labour; we weren't told it could resemble "real" labour so closely or go on for so many weeks. It's very emotionally stressful, even though it seems to happen to other women I keep worrying I'm doing something wrong or I just can't birth my baby.

I have been going crazy not under...Thanks for this! I have been going crazy not understanding what was happening to me. It's been 2 weeks that I have all sorts of symptoms and contractions on and off and I felt really confused by the information I found, as you said, making me feel like there was something wrong with me or that I didn't know what I felt. Deep inside I felt my motors were just warming up and that there is nothing wrong with it... Just this morning I told my partner I did not imagine the end of pregnancy would be like this, and although I thought I had received very good education, I realize how misconceived the concept of early / latent / false labor is. I hope more women find this post and realize that they are perfectly fine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294794766428738036.post-12571517314246883392010-12-15T15:23:26.852-08:002010-12-15T15:23:26.852-08:00Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you that I...Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you that I absolutely LOVE your blog!!
