please send some labor vibes my way! - UPDATE 2
I was contracting every 4 minutes for over an hour from 6:50 - 8:00pm and then it just STOPPED!  I'm hoping it'll start up again and that tonight will be the night. It's SO frustrating when you feel so close but then it comes to a hault!
If you can spare some, send some labor vibes my way tonight!! 
Update: They're back already....looks like those vibes are working. Problem is...they feel like bad period cramps accompanied by some gas  but this tme there's no intervals. It's just constant cramps/pressure with no relief in between. Do you think these are still contractions or could it be something else? I'm drinking lots of water, it hurts more when I walk around, doesnt subside when I change position. But I thought ith contractions there;s a definate stop and go feeling of pain???
Update 2: Okay, I've been walking laps around my livingroom for the past 45 minutes and the contractions have changed slightly. They feel more like very very intense BH -- a tighteninning in my pelvis, lower abdomen, and lower back. But so tight that its hard to breathe. It's accompanied by some pain. Its getting stronger the more I walk. I'm drinking a TON of water while I walk, so I'm def no dehydrated. I'm getting the tightenning constantly, but it becomes sharp and super tight every 4 or 5 minutes. I'm hesitant to call the doctor though because I really dont want to go to L&D just to have them send me home

Re: please send some labor vibes my way! - UPDATE
I've never had a baby, so please don't quote me on this...however...
a few different friends have been telling me their birth stories, and there were a couple different people that said they couldn't time their contractions because there was no start or end. It was just a constant, pain, cramping, etc.
Hopefully tonight/tomorrow is your night/day!!!

I am no expert and again have no experience, but you definitely sound like you are on your way based on what i've heard/read. I have also heard that your body can try to clean out the pipes down there. So hopefully this is it for you!!!!

Your update sounds like my labor with DS (before c/s b/c he was breech). I would call your obgyn and ask what to do.

Re: please send some labor vibes my way! - UPDATE 2
Are the contractions coming in a consistent pattern? Can you talk through them? Are they coming every 5 minutes and how long are they lasting?

No consistent pattern really -- sometimes they're around 5 minutes apart, sometimes 4, and then once in a while I'll get one at like 8 minutes.
Yes, I can talk through them. Its hard to breathe, but they're not really painful.
Its hard to tell how long they're lasting because sometimes it feels like they never go away -- its a constant feeling KWIM?
Like I said, they keep changing. Earlier they felt like intense cramps that were just constant. Now, it feels SUPER tight in my lower back and abdomen, accompanied by a LOT of very low pelvic pressure. Its not "pain"...just pressure and tons of tightenning. Much tighter than when I had BH.

U R totally in labor! Keep doing what ur doing- ur doing a great job by walking non stop. Don't sit yet- stay active. Do you have stairs? If so go up and down as much and often as you can. Hang out at home for as long as you can. Don't sit- by you walking and standing you're helping the baby drop!
You described my early labor to a t!
good luck! sooooooooooooo exciting!!!!

Re: please send some labor vibes my way! - UPDATE 2
oh sounds good! sending vibes!!
Although I had the same thing Saturday it was getting late and went to bed (figured I should get some rest while I still could) I thought I would wake up in the middle of the night in active labor but the next morning we were still here Maybe I should have stayed up walking around...
wish you the best

Have you tried taking a shower? My birthing class teacher told us that if it's BH they'll go away in the shower, if not you'll be good & ready to go to L&D. Either way, good luck!

I hope this is it!
