re: Contraction update

Quoting Taiter Tot's Mama [AP]:“ YAAAAY! This is the best possible news: she is having the baby, but she has enough time to try to get her mom here so she wont be alone.”

Yes, I'm happy for her. She doesn't need the induction (hopefully!!!) and her mom and dad will be here soon for her. I can't wait to update you guys more on how she's going!!!

Once she progresses more, I'll make a Labor thread for her and send you the link.

Hey all. I'm only on for a minute to say that I made it back home, and got McDonald's on the way back because I was so stressed and hungry. Mmm 50 grams of fat in these chicken nuggets and fries... FML.

So definitely early labor... 80% effaced and at -2 station, but 0 dilation yet I'm impressed his head can be at -2 with no dilating or anything. They basically don't want me sitting in that bed for the next day or two waiting, but they said they were sure I won't make it through the weekend. They told me I really need to have my mom try to get here tomorrow. They said I can't take an ambulance because it won't take me to the right hospital, so I'd have to call a cab if I feel everything get worse and can't drive. Yes... labor in a cab. Sounds fucking fantastic.

Needless to say, I'm hoping my parents get here in time. It was after 1 am by the time I left the hospital (2 am MI time), so I didn't want to wake them and freak them out. I left my mom, dad and brother texts saying to call as SOON as they wake up in the morning.

I also found out that the hospital has some dumbass rule right now because of the STUPID H1N1 saying NO visitors whatsoever under the age of 18. My brother is only 16... so I have no idea what will happen if he comes. He'd have to stay home

Anyway... I feel like shit and probably won't be able to sleep much, but I'm going to try. I'll talk to you ladies tomorrow. I doubt I'll be going to work.

Im praying for you and I wish you lots of *easy labor dust*

aww i was hoping by the time i came back on here that i'd read the good news that he was here. i hope he comes soon!

I am now crying like a fucking baby. It's been 36 hours with contractions less than 7 min apart. I have barely slept at all... and never for more than like 5 min because every single one wakes me up. I timed them for the last hour, and they were all between 4 min 50 sec, and 6 min 30 sec apart, and I can barely stand them anymore they've gotten so strong. I called in and basically got ridiculed by another doctor. This guy was like you can have nearly 2 full hours of exactly 5 min apart, and if you have one that's 6 min, he said I have to start the 2 full hours over again because it's not "active labor" unless they're exactly coming at the same time intervals or less for at least 2 hours. He said he doubts my cervix has done anything, but that I could go in to be checked if I don't believe him. But basically, he thinks that would be a waste of time. I'm crying on the phone with this man, and he says I sound too comfortable to be in active labor. What the fuck. I told him I haven't slept in 2 nights and that I'm not going to be able to take much more of this. I asked him if I'm supposed to expect to just continue this for days at a time, and he said that's very likely. If this keeps up, I will NOT have the energy to do SHIT when I'm actually in active labor.

Why are these doctors SUCH pricks to you over the damn phone???


I would just go in and get them to check you.
Just because you can handle pain a little better than the average sap, doesn't mean squat.

I'm not handling the pain well anymore... after 2 nights of not sleeping, I'm starting to lose it. He may have been an ass about that, but if he's right about the timing of contractions, then there's really no use in me going in anyway. They keep varying. This is fucking ridiculous. I wish I could go visit my BD and chop is fucking dick off for ruining my life.

wow I hope I don't start resenting my son. I feel like an awful person, but I feel like I don't even want to be doing this anymore.

It happens....you're just angry and in pain, so of course you'll lash out.


Just go in, what will it hurt, really? There'll be a handsome little guy at the end of all this pain.

dont feel bad mama.. after 40 hours of sitting in a hospital bed and not eating i was feeling like giving up too.. but i promise its all worth it

Alyssa is on her way to the hospital again.
It's been about 50 hours since she first started feeling contractions.
They're pretty painful...enough to stop her from talking, make her lay down, and to the point she can barely breathe.

Hopefully they'll keep her there tonight!!

Nope not so much...

Only 1 cm dilated... after almost 60 hours of consistent contractions. My body is an absolute piece of shit.

I know it's hard, but don't say things like that. Your body can hear you. 
(think positive)

Don't be surprised if labor just stops in a few hours--if that happens get some sleep instead of getting even madder at your body. And have that baby already!!

ay carumba. hang in there mama. we are all thinking good thoughts for you. xoxoxoxoxo
