My sister in law went shopping yesterday. Last week she was 1cm and 50%. She is due jan 6th. Well yesterday she started contracting. She said over 3 hours they started to get stronger and the to be pretty strong and 4 mins apart she went to the hospital. She got there and they told her she was 60% and 3 cms and baby -2. They were really doing anything on the machine but she was even crying from the pain. She said pressure and pain she had and contractions- she knows because this is her 3rd baby. So they sent her home after bleeding from the exam. She said she got a good chunk from her touching the cervix. She still had contractions all night and now today really nothing but a few. Why would she start like that and then do nothing. The doctor also said they couldn't do anything because the baby was still at -2 if the baby was lower then they could start by braking the water. What do you think? Did this happen to any of you and what did you go into labor about?
~Thank you~

Ive been having a similar experience. Im 40weeks pregnant and yesterday starting experiencing what i thought was real contractions. They were painfull and very uncomfortable. Had several over a period of 5 hours, went to bed and boom...they were gone!!! And today i feel fine. Im guessing its just the lead up to labour and its letting us know what were in for. If she is in too much pain, send her back to the hospital and dont leave until you get some help because it could distress the baby as well. But anyhow i know i havent been much help but i wish her all the luck in the world

Get your sister in law to get walking again thats probaly what got the contractions going yesterday all the walking out shopping and get her to sit on one of those massive balls with her legs apart and rock. It sounds like your sister in law is in pre-labour and it wont be lomg till shes got her baby.
