LisaKinVA Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 So, I made dh stay home, we've got a call into the midwife and birth assistant... now we just sort-of wait. Everyone should be here in about 1-2 hours. Could be a couple of hours... could be longer. Or, everything could stop and we wait some more. Each of my labors have been very different, except for one thing. Actual "pain" doesn't start until delivery is imminent. I just wish my water would break or something... it's so much easier to give a "yeah, this is IT" statement. Well, back to monitoring the situation. Keeping my fingers crossed!

If the pain hasn't started and no water break, what's happening? Praying for a very good delivery for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Contrax every 3-5 min. Some getting longer in duration (lasting 45 sec. or so). Haven't gone away, whether I lie down, walk, sit, climb the stairs... clean the bathroom... time to go lie down and check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in IN Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Yea baby! Praying for you, Lisa, and hoping to hear good news today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well, we just sent everyone home.:( I got busy doing things, went and lied down, and the contractions were coming a lot less frequently. The baby is posterior, so I've got some work today to get her to turn appropriately, or this is going to be one loooong painful day. Oh well -- if I can avoid a weather event, it will be a good thing. But, man, I hate feeling foolish -- but they say to call! I just don't like wasting anyone's time.

Jami Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Yes please, I'll take a baby today. Here's a "hang in there" for you, Lisa. And one for me. :) And one for Susan if she's still waiting. And whoever else needs a little extra patience to wait on a baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Good birthing thoughts to you! Jump up and down a little - if you still can! Or take a car ride over a bumpy road. A friend of mine went into labor within hours of cleaning out her kitchen cabinets! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
