This crampy thing is annoying because I know it's most likely not getting me anywhere, at least not anytime soon. Were any of you just "period" crampy anywhere near the time you actually went into labor? With Ben it started at 36 weeks and teased me until I was induced (a month later). Anyone want to give me hope?

**update** I had five (painful, not just tightning) contractions during church... they were about ten minutes apart. I couldn't tell you what the sermon was about because I was too busy watching my belly and waiting for the next one to come. So, just when I was thinking maybe getting checked at L&D (which is conveniently right next door to the church) would be a good idea, they completely stopped. D'oh. Tom just laughed at me. Though we never went to the hospital only to get sent home last time around, I did cry wolf a few times with plenty of regular contractions before my due date. Argh.
