bricco I am on the same boat, contractions every freaking day and nothing. I am having some right now but I refuse to even think about timing them unless the pain becomes excruciating, lol.
Real contractions? I don't even know what those are! I'm so jealous. My body is just like "no, I'm good. Not gonna do a thing!"
That's how it was with my first two and then bam! I much preferred that to this ridiculous "omg is this possibly the real thing?" BS. I hope we all get in labour ASAP
I've had three days in the last two weeks of 24hrs plus of contractions. My dr is calling it prodromal labor and I'm OVER it. Yesterday was my first of two due dates (don't ask) and the second is in the 22nd.

-had 58 minutes of 3-5 minute contractions and was just starting to pack my hospital bag the rest of the way when they stopped completely
-had sex and lost my mucus plug
-had contractions that were mostly 5 minutes apart for another 2 1/2 hours (with 2-3 breaks of 7-9 minutes)
...I don't think I'll know when to really go to the hospital. H wanted to go last night.
It sounds like your body is really getting into gear though! Hopefully you were still able to sleep some and get well rested. I know everyone says that you can go from nothing to in full blown labor without really any notice, but I still feel like I should have some warning or some sign that it is coming! The way it is now, I cannot envisage going into labor any time soon. I have a one track mind right now and it is hard to think about anything else lol Thus a Gilmore Girls marathon!!! Luke and Lorelai broke up yesterday and left me completely depressed for the entire afternoon.... But my Frozen DVD got my spirits back up!

Oh bricco, that made me laugh! I can't imagine what my H's face would've looked like if my mucous plug ended up on him. I know it was pretty gross looking! Your H is a champ!
We're still having sex everyday but I feel mostly normal so it's not a big deal.

Wait, why doesn't this qualify? Because of the breaks?
If it stops it is not real labour. I've had contractions 3-4 minutes apart every evening. But they weren't getting stronger longer closer. When you want to die, you know it is the real thing in my experience.
Well I'm up at 3am (for the past hour) with contractions...we'll see if it actually goes anywhere or not! They are less strong now that I'm up than they were when I was laying down, but they haven't yet disappeared.
bricco, I've been wondering how you've been holding up.
Emotionally, a lot better. I mean.. I'm still quite focused on omglabor but it has not been anywhere near the emotional rollercoaster. We are starting to get to the point where people are asking ALLTHETIME about when the baby is coming. I'm so sick of people asking me if I'm going to have this baby anytime soon. LOL. People are dumb.
Physically, I've been having semi-painful contractions periodically all day. It'll be rhythmic for 20 or 30 minutes and then either stop entirely or slowly peter out/reduce in intensity for an hour or so before ramping up again. It's quite the fun cycle.
You've had such a rough end of the pregnancy. I hope your little guy comes ASAP!
Contractions 3-5 minutes apart, for 45 minutes, they take my breath away but don't really hurt so much.. causing some pain in my lower back with the last few. Not sure..

Hope this is it! Come on, contractions, last at least another 15 minutes! (Just learned about the 3-1-1 rule this weekend haha).

In your lower back is a good sign. All my pain when I was in labour with DS was on my back.
