early labour pains but no baby!!!

[preggos]

Ive been having early labour pains for almost 2 weeks
(im 39 weeks) and been having contractions almost every day. some are quite sore and will last steadily for a couple of hrs making me think im in labour then all of a sudden they stop. im getting so frustrated and depressed because my hopes keep getting raised and then let down. i've tried walking, raspberry leaf tea, acupressure, reflexology, going up and down stairs, spicy foods and even sex. anyone else going through the same thing?

Yes I have been doing that for 4 weeks!!!! . I am now 6 days overdue and mighty fed up. This is my third and dd1 was on time and dd2 over a week early. I really feel for you I do, this waiting and wondering can really do your head in can't it? I have been trying to take my mind off it all, but it's hard when you are so uncomfortable and can't do much!

Best of luck preggos - is this your first?

yes this is my first so I also don't really know what to expect. It is very hard to take your mind off it because every pain you get you think your in labour. Doesn't help when everyone around you keeps asking "have you had any contractions, are you ok? its so upsetting, you almost feel like your letting them down. Especially when my dad is only in the country until tomorrow and my mum's stay is limited too. I don't want them to not get to see their granddaughter before they go.
