I seriously cant do this anymore 😢😭

Mandy • Tue, May 31

Been in early labor for over 39 hours now. The entire time my contractions have been 5-10min apart. Doctors sent me home after two hours at the hospital last night because even though my contractions are so close together, I'm only 2cm and 80% efficiated. I walked ALL day yesterday. Today my back feels like falling apart from doing that.

I am mentally, emotionally and physically drained. I don't know why my body won't let me do this.

I feel you completely. I kept trying so hard to get it to progress but it just left me totally exhausted. I finally told myself it will either happen or it won't and I'll know the difference. I've spent the past day just relaxing and resting and it's actually made me feel a ton better. The stress of trying to force yourself to progress can make it even worse trust me. I've done it for a week and a half now haha.

Bounce on an excercise ball and do some squats. I know it's probably the last thing you feel like doing but it's worth a try. Maybe even attempt to have sex so the semen can help.
