I'm currently in labor - my contractions started as moderate menstrual cramps at 5 am and progressed from there. We got to the hospital at 9 am where they sent me to labor assessment. I was 1 cm and not effaced on Friday, this morning I was 3 cm, 90% effaced, and -1 station. After an hour I was still the same so they sent me home to eat, walk, and drink - and until my contractions were more regular (they were every 3-8 minutes). I'm currently suffering on the couch trying to figure out the best position when these contractions hit! Walking is awful and doesn't help, my mother in law (an obgyn) recommended a hot shower, back rubs mostly help (but my husband sucks at them 😂). Any suggestions?!
