Was in L&D all night

thinking it was finally time. I was getting contractions every 3-4 minutes to be told that I am 60% effaced and still NOT dilating and that the contractions were caused from slight dehydration! Chat Icon

The good news is the nurse who was taking care of me said I am definitely having the baby this week from what she can tell from examining me. She also said she seperated my sac from my cervix being my doctor did not do a well enough job (OUCH! Chat Icon ). I am trying so hard to avoid an induction come Monday evening.

I feel like she's never going to get here! Chat Icon Being DH is too afraid to BD I had my sister massage my feet for 2 hours today and hit all the pressure points they say can bring on labor, I walked, got a mani and pedi AND I plan on taking a teaspoon of Castor Oil which is what my OB advised although not sure if that will help me dilate Chat Icon but I guess if she mentioned it.

Thank you Chat Icon

The nurse also said the reason I am getting contractions every day that come and go it's because my body is trying to go into labor and will try and fail and continue until it turns into full active labor.

All I can offer is hugsChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon You know how frustrated I was at your stage. There isn't anything that can be said to make you feel better at this point. Just know that it's SOOOO worth it in the end. I swear I would wait the looong 8 days past my due date again just to see that sweet little face for the first time. It's amazing.

She's on her way!Chat Icon
