Last night my contractions were 1 min long 5 min apart. Some were painful some came in waves some were just uncomfortable. My midwife and the L&D nurses told me to come in when they got to be that far apart and lasted for at least 30 min. They lasted over an hour. We both agreed to wait on calling L&D until they were all remotely the same feeling since my contractions seem to want to stop when I lay down in bed.

So I did just that I went to bed and noticed they continued through the night but slowed back to 7 min and were mostly uncomfortable with a few painful ones spread throughout. Tomorrow cannot come fast enough because I really want to see what my midwife and nurses think. If anything I may get checked out to see if I am dilating and fully effaced.

I am going to make a self diagnoses here but I will have them confirm it tomorrow but I believe I am experiencing prodromal labor.

 

[armywife11]

Yup extended first stage labor... contractions were 7 min apart 1 min long still but noted they are increasing in intensity. I had a high BP reading today and a normal one so they had me do a urine test. It came back clean. I was told that I would not have to be induced (unless I wanted to be) so....

I see midwife on wed for normal appointment.... we shall see

 

[Wilsey]

Wait and see game huh? Hope it happens very soon for you!

 

[skeet9924]

Oh I hate the wait and see games.., hopefully it happens really soon for you

 

[Mrs W 11]

Good news that you won't need to be induced but you must be really frustrated now. Try to get lots of rest, I bet babies here by Friday xx

 

[armywife11]

My midwife had to go on emergency leave so I just have a NST and ultra this Thursday, a NST Monday, and I see an OB Tuesday.

I am really worried about the OB meeting. I haven't talked to one since my first appointment and I hated it. I am worried if I make it to Monday I will have a headache to deal with since they are the ones suggesting I should induce.

Mrs. W your in time. Its just now my due date here in the US. (Not sure time zones difference.)

So today is the doctor assigned due date. Saturday is my ovulation due date. Baby is really low and in a slightly new position. I also started leaking enough milk last night I was able to hand express for the first time. It has to be getting really close. I am hoping by this weekend.
