Labor

38+6 FTM

I’ve given up on trusting my body. I’ve timed my contractions a few times since Wednesday and EVERY time they have been consistent for an hour. They’d be at least 1 minute each and less than 5 minutes apart. Always. But they keep gradually getting more and more painful.

Last night, I timed them again. I fell within the “5-1-1” range yet not enough pain to go. They gotten a lot more painful but nothing I couldn’t bare. So I finally fell asleep through the pain and being awake again, I feel almost nothing. It’s so frustrating!

At my last appointment Monday, I was 80% effaced and 2.5 cm. I really feel like it’s any second but then again, I feel like she’s forever in my tummy 😓

I don’t want to share her but I am getting really tired of anticipating birth. I’m trying to do it natural and confident in doing so. I just wish she would come. I feel like she’s ready but my body is struggling 😭
