They have begun again. Contractions. Strong enough to cause me to breath a little heavier. Not regular. Not really painful, though slightly uncomfortable.
My water hasn't broken. I can only assume there have been no cervix changes. I can't see my doctor until Tuesday, and she basically said that there wasn't much to do about them anyway. They are pissing the baby off, since every time I get one, I get the crap beat out of me.
I am trying to keep from moving, which seems to keep them at bay, as much as anything does.
Don't I sound calm? Fatalistic might be a better word. My last trip to the ER was exactly a month ago, for the same complaint. They told me at 16 weeks, there wasn't anything they would/could do. I am 99% certain that I would get the same answer if I were to go again. And spending the day sitting in ER with non-OB doctors looking at me like I am in the wrong location is not my idea of a fun Sunday afternoon.
Like I want another ER doctor to condescendingly tell me (after I told him that I delivered my son at term) that "you will know if they are real labour contractions". Screw you, Dr. Arrogant.
I might be doing the wrong thing here. How the hell can I make objective decisions about medical care at this point in my history? Maybe I should be going into ER and demanding that they call in my doctor. I just don't know.
Why does this always happen on the weekends?
The contractions are not painful. They are not regular. My waters are intact. They baby is active. So here I sit.

I don't know either...can you call your doctor after-hours? Page him? If not i would probably go to the ER, if they continue, and make THEM call him -- just in case. And though i know there isn't much they can do if you start full-blown labor, i think there are things they can do to help stop that from happening. Or at least to try.
Thinking of you and the Babe...
You sound extremely calm, so I hope that's real and that you are not too terribly worried. Did you have these contractions with your first baby? If you do start to get worried, I hope you will consider going to the ER although I know it's no fun and often a waste of time. I'm thinking of you guys!
