That's how I'm looking at my body now. It keeps falsely crying "wolf" or in this case "baby"! I have had serious false labor for weeks now. Last night it went on for hours and felt so much different than it had before, that for awhile I thought it might actually be something...it wasn't. Just more false labor.
Yes, I understand that it is preparing my body for what is to come and that I should look at it as a good thing, but I'm finding that it just makes me anxious. Tired, cranky and anxious.
Yesterday my doula asked if I had any fear about having a VBAC and honestly I don't. I know my body can do this if it is given the chance. The only thing weighing on me is the deadline. Just over a week until my due date, then I get 7-10 more days after that before I'll be induced (something you have to be really careful about with a VBAC) or pushed into another c-section. I'm just ready for my body to get things moving so I don't have to stress about induction/c-section.
I want to give MayBaby all the time she needs, but the deadline makes me anxious.
