Say a prayer that this is it!!!!

I'm 41 weeks, 6 days. This morning, I went in for a non-stress test. Apparently, I thought I'd just been having a lot of strong Braxton Hicks, but I was having actually contractions consistently 5-6 minutes apart, lasting 60-90 seconds!  They tried to admit me on the spot, but I told them I'd feel more comfortable laboring at home.

Hubby and I are soooo ready to meet our son.  In the hours since arriving home, the contractions haven't gotten any closer, but they haven't gone away.  Please pray that we're finally in labor!  I'll keep you ladies updated.  :)

My contractions were very stop and go.sometimes you need pitocine to keep it going.my labor would  have lasted for days.i went to hospital yesterday at 9 with stop and go contractions and had my son at 2:09pm.he was 9lbs 11oz.the only reason  I had him is because I got relaxed with epideral and the broke my water and get me pitocine. Otherwise I would have been laboring for days and probably  resulting in a csection .I was already laboring for 3 days before I went in start stop start stop.when I went to hospital my blood pressure  was really high to from the stress of labor already.so be careful on how much you try to push  through on your own.sometimes it's not safe for you and baby.good luck I hope it goes very smoothly for you.
