False Labor

Nipple stimulation can bring on contractions, or keep contractions coming. Also your husbands sperm is supposed to bring on labor too. Try to be patient, because when real labor starts, you'll really know it's time

At 37 weeks you should let your body finish baking your baby. S/he will come when ready. Your baby grows much better most of the time inside you then outside. Each contraction is preparing your body and your baby in some way.

hi C.,

I also had false labor with my last pregnancy - and it does really drive you crazy, i know!

Upon arriving at the hospital for the third time within just a few days, I told the nurse "I am not leaving here without a baby"! It's kind of funny now, but I was quite serious at the time.

They mixed me up a little "cocktail" that was a combination of epidural and whatever that stuff is that enduces labor. Worked like a charm - and pain free.

I assume you are very close or past your due date - maybe you could call your doc and ask? Don't fret, they all come out sooner or later ;-)

hugs,

W.

Hi C.- This may not be what you want to hear but with all 4 of my pregnancies my hubby and I had sex after I was a couple of days past due and that jump started labor,
Good Luck
