Wow that's amazing. I'm totally the opposite. I have contractions for days that do nothing for dilation. They might be helping in other ways but darn it, it takes forever!

Congrats!

I gave birth to my third little boy! I woke up Thursday morning lots of pressure (felt really like I had to poop sorry for the TMI) I had this pressure all day from 3:00 am to 6 pm it went away for a bit and then started back in about 7:30 pm so I had my husband take me to the hospital to L&D and sure enough I was in labor all day.. It was crazy no contractions, my water didn't break, come to find out I was dilate to 5.5 cm and 90%. My water bag was hanging out. Still no contractions, they broke my water and finally about 10:30 pm they hooked me up to my epidural and I went into active full blown labor with contractions at 12:00am and my son was here at 12:13 am.... All my pregnancies I never had contractions until right before.
