CURSE FALSE LABOR

I called my Mother on Wednesday night and swore I was in labor.

After three nights in a row of false labor I was sure it was the real deal.

I even called my friend Barbara and asked if her daughters could spend the night just in case I had to make a mad rush to the hospital like I did with Madison.

I counted contractions all night.

They were progressing and at one time they were six minutes apart.

Then nothing for an hour.

Then they started progressing again.

At 6:00am I took Barbara's girls home.

I felt dumb and apologized.

I know they didn't sleep well.

They were so sweet.

They said it was fine.

 

My contractions kept coming.

My mom called and asked if I was sure I was ready for her to come, knowing she can only take so much time off of work.

I said, "Of course!"

Although my contractions started to fade, I was running off of four nights of no sleep, which had been followed by my daughter being sick for over two weeks.

I wanted my mom!

Certainly, even if they stopped all together I would have this baby before the weekend was over.

 

I called my doctor and changed my appointment for that morning.

I went in fully expecting to be dilated to a 6 and have him say, "Go to the hospital!"

When I got there I was dilated..... to a whopping 0.

Yep, you read that right! 0!

How?

I wanted to cry.

 

Yep. Today is 1/15/2013!

I was due yesterday!

I am still pregnant.

I don't mind being pregnant, but CURSE FALSE LABOR!

I am tired of it.

I never had it with my first two.

It stinks.

FALSE or NOT, it still hurts and plays with your mind.

 

I am just really grateful my mom is still here.
