ChristusG Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thanks for asking! Everything is about the same. I believe that labor is close....I'm just doing nothing but sitting on the couch mostly. DH is handling lunches, etc. Kids are playing well. The contractions have tapered off though. I only have about one an hour, but it's a painful one. Ugh, I hate this waiting game. I've never actually gone into labor so this is really new to me. My other two had low fluid and I was induced before I ever saw any signs of labor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 I hear you! I've been in 'hurry up and wait' with signs of early labour since August :glare: Now that I'm 37 wks tomorrow, my attitude is, "LETS GO ALREADY!" :lol: Walking around can help augment labour. Best of luck! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other two had low fluid and I was induced before I ever saw any signs of labor. This is exactly how my labor was this last time. Once contractions picked up again we went in to the hospital. I was 9 cm dilated when we got there, my water broke immediately, and she was born an hour later. Hoping for a smooth delivery for you, very soon!

ChristusG Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yes, still here. :glare: I think this baby is a bit too comfy in there. Someone needs to evict her. I've done LOTS of catching up on the boards today LOL. Contractions are doing the same thing they have all day. I never knew labor could be this annoying LOL.

It's 45 minutes to the hospital and I want time for an epidural LOL! I'm a chicken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 I hear you! I've been having similar issues on and off all day (minus the bleeding), and told Wolf that when I'm done my cuppa tea, we're going for a walk w/the Littles. I figure if that doesn't help, I'm going for a tub and bed. Baby's got to be born sooner or later, and I'm pretty confident I won't sleep through it! :lol: Personally, I'd laugh like heck if you, Dawn and I all have babies in the next 3 days!

It's 45 minutes to the hospital and I want time for an epidural LOL! I'm a chicken! If it happens that quickly, you probably won't *need* an epidural. I went into my delivery with ds #1 fully intending to have an epidural, but he came so quickly that I didn't have time. I wasn't planning on being heroic, but I'm so glad things worked out that way!

ChristusG Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 That would be funny LOL! There's already been so many threads about babies being born this past week....I keep thinking "Where in the world is mine???" LOL I wish I could go for a walk. Baby girl is pressing on something down there and I can barely hobble around the house. I think she's already engaged in the birth canal. Even my 4 year old is anxious for her to come out....this morning as she was laying in bed beside me, she said "I can't wait for the baby to be born....then I will have more room to lay beside you." Thanks sweetie, I know I have a huge belly right now LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish he'd just 'assume the position' and lets get this show on the road! :lol: When we were out for our walk, Tazzie told me that I weigh "100 pounds!"...which made me feel good, briefly, until he stage whispered to Wolf, "Mom's really fat!" :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 It sounds like you are having Braxton-Hicks. If you want to rev things up (and if it's "real" labor), you can try NS. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 NS=n*pple stim. Midwife says best done by someone else. Oral best. BTDT. Really does work as it releases oxytocin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impish Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 :lol::lol::lol: so funny! Yeah, you laugh. Wolf read the response over my shoulder. He announced he'd be willing to 'take one for the team'. I had to explain that he wouldn't survive if he touched me anytime before next spring!
