Impish Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Contractions, 5 mins apart, for almost an hr. Please don't let this just be more BH! Waiting for Wolf to get out of the shower, and then we're heading to the mall...Diva's 13th birthday is on Sunday, and we need to find her something special...plus, its just too darn cold for me to be walking around outside right now. Please pray that this is finally IT. Any more false alarms, and I may lose my mind before induction on Monday! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I would cheer you on but I hated when people did that when I was in labor. :tongue_smilie: Good luck! Maybe the walking around the mall will help things along too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainySunday Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Good luck! I hope this is "it" for you! I was in and out of early labor with my ds, got adjusted by my chiro (in home) at around 4:30pm, decided nothing was going on and we "had" to go get Easter basket things for Sunday (left around 6)... While at Target, then the grocery store I went very very quickly from fine to very active labor to transition. We barely got home in time. He was born at 9:53 that night. He was my April Fool baby afterall, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMW Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'm cheering, too! In fact, I'm giggling! I can imagine a due pregnant lady walking the mall and stopping every few minutes for contractions! (Sorry, shouldn't be funny, but my sense of humor is odd today...) I'm so excited for you. Seems like you just recently let us know that you were expecting again. PS Have you made a PSA for your neighborhood?? What about the lady at the store? Will you stop by and let her know you're headed to the mall? Who are you calling?? PSS Don't hate me... honest, it's just an odd humor day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWOB Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 :lol: I'm laughing at you going to the mall. I went grocery shopping when I was in labor with ds. I had to stop every few minutes and hang on to the shopping cart. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, came near me. Dd1 was about 2 1/2 and completely oblivious. When I finally made it to the cashier, she took one look at me and rang up my groceries at record speed. No one wants to be around a pregnant lady when she is about ready to explode. I hope this is the real thing. I pray that your birthing and recovery will be smooth, boring, and completely uneventful. I pray that your RSD takes a huge chill pill while you cuddle up with your newest snuggie bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Not if you refuse to leave :D That's how I got my fourth one born. My midwife was an hour away and I had pretty much constant and quite serious BH. The week past my due date I was driving the hour to the city where my midwife was and spending the day there (I have very short labors and wanted to make sure I was in the right city when the time came). There were several times when I had consistant contractions for more than an hour. I would go in and they would send me home. The last time I went in, I said I am not leaving here without a baby. So the midwife said, "Let's see what we can do to speed this up." We tried a few natural methods and they seemed to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Awww, I'm sorry they stopped, Imp. :( I hope your body just decided it needed a little break and they start back up for you. When I finally made it to the cashier, she took one look at me and rang up my groceries at record speed. No one wants to be around a pregnant lady when she is about ready to explode. Ha! I was checking out at the self checkout of the grocery store about 5 or 6 days after my due date. Some lady asked me when I was due, and you should have seen the faces when I said, "Oh, last Sunday." Everyone seriously backed up 3 or 4 steps like the baby was going to just fall out right then. :lol: They wanted nothing to do with me. With inductions being so common, I don't think people are used to seeing people who are past their "due date." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
