birth saga

Nana • Sat, Sep 17

Still no baby. I'm at home laboring. Contractions started 09/15 at around 7pm. They were very mild but obvious. Lasting 30 seconds every 10 minutes. I went to sleep woke up at 7am to a much more intense contraction. These ones lasting between 40 sec to 1 minute. I had a Drs appt at 11 so I just waited. At about 830 my Dr called and asked me to come in early for a BPP I said yea because I think it's happening. He told me go to L&D. I said but it's only 10 min. He said just go and tell them it's 5 minutes. -_-

I waited 2 hours then went. Somehow my contractions stopped as soon as I got there. Literally NOTHING! Dr checked me I'm still 2cm & 50% but very soft. So I left, of course as soon as I got home the process started and there have been no breaks.

Now I'm home. Contractions are stronger omg they are very intense! I almost can't believe that THIS is the easy part! (I'll need an epidural) But theyre still irregular. Enough to keep me awake and wondering if I've dilated anymore. I just want to get some sleep. Hopefully when I wake up I'm at every 5 minutes.

Will keep you updated.
