In labor!

Jennifer • FTM of a wonderful boy and getting ready to try for #2

FTM 38+6 and it’s so hard to tell when to go to the hospital. Went to the hospital because my contractions were about 4-6 minutes apart lasting for 1 minute (also lost my mucus plug) and painful, but turns out I was only 2 cm dilated so I was sent home. Now, I’m consistently around 7 minutes a part and still lasting about 1 minute, but intensity has definitely increased. They told me to labor at home until I’ve reached 3 minutes a part for 90 seconds each and I can’t even breathe/move/walk during the contractions. Intensity feels that way now, but I guess it’s just the tip of the iceberg. It’s going to be a long day!
