I think is time ! Labor story...(scroll Down)

Well... I had my doc appointment today and says I'm 75% effaced and 3 cm... she tried to open me some more... that was this morning...For about 3 hours I been contracting...... and I went to take a bath and I am not sure if I pee or my water broke cause right away I stood up and there was mucus in the water.. i put a pad on just to see if anything leaks but nothing.. I dont know how it feel when it breaks because I never went on my own... I got off the tub and still contracting and my pubic area and back is killing me... am afraid to go to the hospital and they sending me home and say to me they braxton hicks... I am sitting here thinking what to do... my pain is not so strong but the one in my lower back and pubic area is... what should I do? Plus my doctor is on vacation this morning who saw me was the midwife... so I'm not sure what I should do.....................................................................................................>>>>>


I went to the store to walk around still having contractions ans mucus plug comming out but the contractions not getting stronger......I'm gonna keep on waiting see what happens....

...........................................................................................................>>>>>>

I went to L & D.. as I said earlier since my doc was on vacation I was gonna go to a different hospital... Well after I got my kids ready and dropped them off at my moms... I get to the hospital at 8pm... First EVERYBODY tripping with me there because I didnt go to the hospital I was supposed to go to.. so First the ALL made me feel unconfortable like I was not wanted there... so I go through emergency room and they left me waiting a good while.. they tranfer me to L & D and once I'm there the put me in triage... and hooked me up.... so after the nurse ask me who my doc is and I explained the hes on vacation etc... she started talking crap that I should go over there,.. I'm already mad... she started to monitor me.. .... then she says that I was still 4cm and 75% so... she came back at 3 am.. I had to pee so bad she didnt bother to come earlier... and checks me again and says I'm still in the same place ... states that was gonna send me home because I was not progresing.... that when she first hooked me up I was having contractions but as time went along my contractions started becoming less intense and more apart... she left to get my discharge papers.. I'm super upset right aboutthen and I un hooked myself from the machine... started getting dressed and she comes back and says.. " Dont come back until your contractions are 1 min apart and dont come here go to the hospital u supposed to go to.." my eyes got so watery...,,, I left so mad I busted out crying outside... walked like half mile to my truck since we parked in the other side of the hospital.... then my husband mad at me talking about he been hearing me talking about being in labor for the past couple of days... I explianed to him that I was in early labor as I was told and was contracting for the past 2 days ... starts arguing with me and I'm already upset with that hospital.... So we got home at 4am....... I did not sleep.. since after I left the hospital my contractions became intense again and frequent... I dont understand this.... so I went to pic th girls up at 6 at my moms and dropped them off at daycare.. I go home to argue again since he missed work today etc talking about go to the hospital NOW that hes tired of me being a cry baby... I been so upset... I just drove off and parked and stayed just crying.. still in pain.. cant walk no more... my pubic area killing me... I'm afraid on doing something crazy.... I called my doc office this morning and they were gonna call me back.... I just feel like locking my self in my room and not come out but his there... So I'm here at 4 cm 75% with contractions NOT progressing .. unconfortable,,, depresed... I wish GOD would help me.....



Here is the pic of my night at the NIGHTMARE hospital..............................

So I went into L & D on July 15 at 11pm to be induced... they took me intoa huge room... hooked me up and checked me .. I was 5cm dialated and 80% effaced... so there was a regular nurse and a student.... damn she puts the student to put the IV on me.. ofcourse she missed damn that hurt like hell LOL then the other one tried and pocked me twice.. my arm was hurting like cray.. they started pitocin and came to check me every while... but I was not dialating the increased the pitocin and i moved up to 6 cm.... then 90% effaced... so then I couldnt take the pain so I got the epi.. so for my luck they had to do it tiwce because the first time the epi wouldnt take.. so they had to do the whole thing again and for those that had epi know the procedure it is painful as it is.... sooo epi was ok now.... they cheked me a while later I was still at 6cm... the they decreased the pitocin.. about an hour later or so I feel like a ballon comming out from down there.. then something popped... my nurse checked me and it was my water.. she checked me and I was 8 cm...... so then she called my doc and he came to check me and the baby head was right there... I pushed once.. baby head came out.. pushed again and the body came out......sooooooooooo My baby.....

I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND COMMENTS... SPECIALLY DRAGONFLY FOR BEING MY TEXT BUDDY..... XOXO

time them. If they are 5-7 minutes apart, it's time.

go in... its better playing safe.. the worst they will do is send you home, or they could even induce you, but it sounds to me like it was your water and you could be having back labor

Are you timing them? And if you change what your doing and they aren't going away its a good sign.

Good luck if it's time! How exciting! You're still planning on Chandler regional right?

Aww if you are going into labor congrats!! were due on the same day, and i wish i was having my baby too. you should time your contractions to see how many minutes apart they are, and see if their getting stronger =)

sound like labor but i would wait and see if they get any stronger and closer together. Good luck with baby in advance!!

Quoting marine baby 08:“ Are you timing them? And if you change what your doing and they aren't going away its a good sign.”

I havnt been timing them but if i was to guess they are about 3 min apart.. they get worst I men intense if I stand up

You are probably in the early stages. You will know when your water breaks, because once it does, it wont stop. It will come in little gushes whenever you sit or stand, etc.

Good luck, mama!

Quoting Kyrie (and 1st baby!):“ Good luck if it's time! How exciting! You're still planning on Chandler regional right?”

Yea I'll be at Chandler.. even though my doc not here... I think then it would be who ever is on call.. for that then I rather go to desert banner

Go in...

I would also say go in.good luck !!

They are strong but not to die for... only if I stand up they become stronger.. Hopefully this is it because if this is not it.. OMG

lol, when you are in so much pain you could keel over& die any second. That's when to go in lmao. You can't really walk.

I was induced but when I got to 4cm.... I was DIEING!!! OMG. I was getting contractions so frequently & crying any time I got one. I DEMANDED my epi at that point.....

Yours was constant? mine wasnt... i mean yea it poured out and alot but it eventually stopped
