went to l&d, got sent home
So at about 6am yesterday morning I started having cramps every 15 minutes or so. Being that yesterday was my due date, I took an educated guess that this was not my period reappearing in a spectacular fashion but instead, perhaps, the beginnings of labor. I am a FTM.
By dinner time they were every 5 minutes and they hurt pretty good, so I took a shower with the thought that we'd head to the hospital after. But they stopped.
By 11pm they started again and were every 7-12 minutes through out the night. I threw up around 5am (it just seems to be something I like to do these past nine months) and at 11am they were five minutes apart - so we decided to go in.
Got there, got hooked up, and sat on the monitor. The nurse comes in 30 minutes later and says the contractions are still irregular, so she checks my cervix.
50% effaced. 1cm dilated.
I rolled my eyes (not at her, just in general lol).
Wtf.
Now I'm at home napping, have had maybe three contractions since the hospital, and I feel as if I've made everything up in my head. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE - the whole "an ice pick is attacking my crotch" thing I've had with pubic dysfunction (or whatever it is) mostly disappeared when the contractions started. A solstice miracle...
I know it sounds dickish but I'd like to hear anyone else's annoyances during this waiting game. Misery loves company.
