contractions stopping?!?!

I'm already three days past my due date and yesterday morning woke up having contractions. They got to the point where they were four minutes apart so I went to the hospital. When I got there they had slowed down! I got sent home because I'm not all the way effaced yet but my contractions continued. I took a long walk and got home and fell asleep. When I woke up they were almost stopped! I'm so confused because they keep coming strong but then slowing and softening and no they are most defiantly contractions. Some of which I can't walk through. It's been over 24 hours with them like this, I'm beyond frustrated and ready to meet my girl!!!

It's the joys of early labor -.- mine did that for three weeks before I finally went into active labor. I bounced around on a yoga ball after trying everything else and that seems to have worked to get the ball rolling (pun intended) at least you know you won't have to deal with this much longer and they'll probably induce you soon!

I had that on thursday, but they stopped later that day. Friday i woke up because of contractions, these more painful but more spaced out than those on thursday. I had to puf/breathe these away sortof. Friday evening at 10pm the real deal started: the contractions really hurt and come fast. The pain was such i couldn't stand anyone speaking to me or touching me, and really needed to focus my breathing and such.
