36 weeks pregnant keep getting contractionshad them on and off last night and all day!

[Scruffyhound]

I think I lost my plug on Friday night? it seemed green like snot nice! I have looked it up and that is ok. I have been having braxton hicks for weeks now. Im 36 going into 37 weeks. I was woke up three times last night by contractions I ended up staying up for 4 hours. I was soo tired I went back to bed and they subsided. I then got woke up again at 8am by contractions. They went on for 2 hours then subsided! I decied to get some housework doen whilst not in any form of pain. Did that lay on bed and was pleased no pain. I came down stairs to sit with DP and watch a film. They started again then have been coming and going now for 3 -4 hours. Each time they stop for a few hours then start again for a few hours they seem to be getting stronger. I find changing position does not make a difference if the contractions are there. I keep getting a runny nose and feeling sick. I want to wait until the contractions are deffo there and take my breath away baby is moving ok. Anyone lese get this?

Yep! Must be due same week (due 4th April). Mine have been enough to wake me up and keep me awake for 2 hours or so and then just go away, also had a bit of a loss of plug but you usually get quite a big amount come away (this is my fourth!). To be in established labour they need to be consistent, eg they don't go away! A good tip too is if they start and then you go in the bath they will probably stop, again showing you are not in proper labour. I too keep feeling sick and have a bit of the runs. I'm thinking that things are starting but it may still be a while. I don't remember this at all with the others! This started on Tuesday night for me and last night was the first night where I wasn't up for hours so maybe it has all gone away again.
Hope it goes one way or the other with you!

scruffy, any news, perhaps it was real labour?

Just thought I would say I also felt like this and lost plug at 36 weeks stop start ccs yet went 2 weeks over sorry. Try not to get too excited, unless you have already had the baby .
