Whyyyyyy

Randi • Mommy of 3, number four on the way!

So yesterday I went to L&D, I’m 39 weeks, will be 40 weeks on Thursday, I was having contractions for about 2 hours at 5-7 minutes apart then they got down to 2-4 minutes. They hurt like hell too. I’m talking cramping, back labor, tightening, and lower abdomen pain during contractions. I couldn’t talk through them or walk through them. This is baby number 4 so I’m pretty good as knowing when it’s time. We get there and I’m being monitored, they check me an hour later.. no change.. then another hour later... no change. SO we decide to walk and go get something to eat. Every 5 minutes or so during our walk, I have to stop due to contractions and breathe through them.. we eat and I’m constantly stopping due to the pain. We go back to the hospital, almost 2 hours later. Get checked... still NO CHANGE. They say I’m in early labor and it can be like this for hours or days... DAYS!! So I’m home now, miserable. I’ve tried having sex, cleaning my entire house, pumping twice, and bouncing on my yoga ball along with hip circling and pelvic thrusts.. still I’m at home with contractions that come and go.. how do I have contractions for like 10 hours and even through the night and I’m still pregnant!! Uuuugh SO frustrating 😩😩 anyone else going through this or have gone through this? It’s not fun. Now I don’t know how the hell I’m going to tell when it’s really time to go in...
