Past Due

My due date was May 10Th and of course that has come and gone. Yesterday I did start having contractions and the were every hour for about 4 hours and then progressed to every half hour for about 9 hours and then just stopped. There are really strong but nothing is progressing and it is getting frustrating. So now they are back but no consistency just very painful. They are not Braxton Hicks which is no pain and goes away. So hopefully tonight I will really go into labor instead of my body playing tricks on me.
