Hang in there ladies!

Hey, how do you "try" to keep them going?

I kinda figured they did their own thing.  With DD they just came on and kept on...never considered having to "keep" them going?

I feel for you, I haven't had any yet or even BH, but it would feel like such a tease at this point. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be constantly thinking...is this it?

walking, nipple stimulation, sex/orgasm, things that keep you from letting the muscles relax too much, cat/cow yoga positions

for instance I wouldn't take a nice calming bath or go to sleep immediately

though usually if you can't keep them going, then they weren't meant to keep going... but usually these types of contractions are good for maneuvering your LO into a better position if necessary

I talked to my OB about this today and he says the only things that have been demonstrated to kick start labor is membrane sweeping and castor oil. (Apparently castor oil causes diarrhea which releases prolactin and can trigger labor!) 

I'm not trying either yet but I still have a bit to go! Hang in there!

I'm totally with you!!! Past three nights I've been having contractions for the two hours before I go to bed. They're not quite like BH because I'm feeling a little menstrual cramping along with them, but they're not consistent or regular in any way. Yesterday I had them during the day, but I'd have one, and then another 30 minutes later, and then 7 minutes later, and then an hour later, and so on. Hoping that these different contractions are getting things ready for birth....
