False Labor Sucks

I've been having regular contractions for nearly three freaking weeks now! This is getting so old, seriously.

Went to the doc Friday and he asked if I'd been having regular contractions. I said "oh yeah, all the time", so he asked how regular and I said, "oh, 3-5 minutes apart, lasting about a minute each, for an average of three hours at a time, but they never get worse so I don't bother calling". He laughed and said "yeah, look for them to get worse" I just laughed too and said "that's why I never called -- I figured no sense in getting everyone worked up when I knew it was nothing!"

So I go back Wednesday and they're going to talk induction. It's not my ideal, but I'm concerned that if I go too terribly far past 40 weeks, the placenta will have issues and/or Sprout will pass meconium which is dangerous for him/her, and I don't want that.

So I think I'll have them check me (yuck) and maybe strip my membranes or something. Doesn't that just sound like sooo much fun? Yeah. Thought so.

But I'm still hoping to go before then. It would be kind of neat to go on my sister's birthday (which is my due date), if for nothing else than the fact it would be incredibly easy to remember haha
