Frustrated *Vent*

I'm 39weeks and so ready for my baby girl to arrive. I've been having contractions on and off for weeks now. Was actually in the hospital 3 weeks ago with preterm labor, but they stopped it. At my doctor appointment Thurs, I was 3 cm dilated! I've been having extremely painful contractions since he checked my cervix. They will be 5 mins apart for a few hours and then go away for few hours. I'm so uncomfortable and achy from all these contractions I can't stand it.The contractions were so painful last night iI was just sure it was finally the real thing, but nope. They went away again. I've also been spotting since my appointment on Thurs. I'm just so ready to be done and to finally meet my baby girl. Sorry this is so long. Just needed to vent! I'm so frustrated!

I'm hoping I've dilated some more too! I was already 3cm when I went into labor with my 1st and ended up being in labor for 36 hours, so I definitely hope this one comes a lot quicker!
