You'll be having a baby in no time flat...

Or not.

Published on June 26, 2005 By Janders In Misc

Friday night I was in Labor and Delivery. My contractions were 4 minute apart, and was having bloody show. (sorry if TMI) So I called my Dr. and they said to go in.

They hooked me up to the moniters, and checked to see if I was leaking amniotic fluid. (I wasn't). But I had dialated 2 more cm since being seen in the clinic, and my contractions were regular and strong so they thought I was in Labor. After an hour and a half and I hadn't dialated any further, they wanted me to walk around the floor for an hour to try and speed things up. That brought on more painful contractions but didn't dialte me any further. Go Figutr.

So I got sent home. They said they would probabky see me later that night or the next day.They gave me somthing to sleep. I slept through the night Friday, and woke up with NO contractions. So the labor had stopped. Now its late Sunday night and no lobor signs. This baby is definatly on her own schedule.

I think I will walk around 3cm dialted for weeks. Oh Bother.

Babe, I did the same thing with Davey. Contracted all to heck but didn't dilate very well for a day and a half beforehand. Then the contractions stopped, and man was I upset! I remember crying on D and saying that i was going to be pregnant forever! Then, 48 hours after they had stopped, they started again, and by the time we got to the hospital I was 6 cm dilated. They broke my water, and decided to give me a miniscule amount of pitocin to help me along. That was a little after 1715. Davey was born, all 9lbs of him, at 1800. I went from 6 to complete and delivered in 45 mins.

Your body is gearing up to having her, that's all. All the contractions you've had have probably not only dilated but also effaced your cervix...it'll be time soon, really soon now. In fact, I think that you'll be holding her in your arms by Wednesday.

Good luck!

Have sex. That should do the trick! Yes Jay, that means the big O for her. The contractions will help.
