U.S. Mommies To Be

[JNA]

Lucky sounds like you had a wonderful Mothers Day

Lisa if my nurse has small hand/ short fingers I will ask for another one lol I want to be as comfy as possible while in hospital

SweetMama I know how you feel about wanting or not wanting to be in labor. If lo want to come early by herself then good if shes ready. But im kicking Kaliyah out 40.3 lol
Just reading about those wings gave me heartburn.

Had a big dinner with my baby sis and still eating a chocolate lava cake from dominos (btw its 10 pm here) Have dr appointment at 2 tomorrow and the office is across the street from Dunkin Donuts!!!

lol.. baby HATES these contractions.. between them he kicks up a storm

Haha, mine does the same thing.

lol...
Well I just had a pretty icky contraction a few minutes ago.. I was whining and moaning out loud. DH calls out from his office 'can you keep it down out there'.. .totally as a joke, which I happen to find funny, but apparently not during a contraction because telling DH to F off made the contraction worse

Now telling DH to F off is FUNNY! That has to be a sign of true labor, right.

 

[lisaf]

lol... its either a sign of true labor, or the sign of a DH who needs to F off
I banned him from talking during contractions last night... anything that made me laugh made it worse, lol

I'm up early here (5am) having real contractions that I couldn't sleep through. Averaging every 4 minutes or so at the moment.. 30-60 seconds long etc .. I know I can still talk through them since I can swear
starting to re-think this whole natural childbirth thing Well, not really, I still want to try but every time I'm in the middle of a contraction I'm thinking 'forget this!'.

 

[RosieCheeks]

good luck lisa! hopefully today is the day for you!

 

[southerngal2]

Good luck Lisa! How long have you been having them?

 

[blessedmomma]

yay for contractions!!!!

hope everyone had a fab moms day!!!!

 

[lisaf]

well I was contracting last night but about every 10-12 minutes so we went to bed.. kept waking up occasionally with some pain or to go pee. Gave up on sleep at 4:30am... now its 6:45..

 

[southerngal2]

Sounds like today is the day then!

A late Mother's Day gift!

 

[Mother of 4]

Just peeking in and wishing you the best Lisa and hopefully it's the start of things for you

 

[luckyme225]

Yay Lisa! Mine tampered off at around 4 so i was able to get some sleep between 4-7. I just got up and they seem to have went away. I'm somewhat happy about it because I was crying last night that I would have NO energy to push since all I wanted to do was not vomit and sleep. That is so exciting that they are 4 minutes apart! Hopefully you'll be meeting your baby today.

 

[MissFox]

WooHoooo! Sounds like its time! Hope it goes well for you!

 

[sma1588]

yay lisa, i hope everything goes good for you and your little man.

 

[JNA]

Good luck Lisa


Heading to my appointment which is across the street for the donut shop

I dont know whats more exciting lol

 

[Sweet_Mama]

Yay for labor, Lisa!

JNA, update us after your donut run, lol.

AFM~ I am about to call the doctor to have him check me. I stayed home from work today and although I am not having contractions at the moment, I do still have red bleeding on occasion and I feel like my vagina will fall out at any moment. I'll update later.

 

[luckyme225]

Hope your appointment goes well JNA & sweetmama.

 

[southerngal2]

I want a donut now!

Sweet_Mama- Hope the apt. goes well.

Lisa- Keep us updated!

 

[southerngal2]

How's it going Lisa?
Those contractions getting stronger?

 

[lisaf]

Sweet mama - I've had that 'vagina falling out' feeling for weeks Glad i'm not the only one to feel that!

Contractions getting pretty regular, about 4:45 minutes apart.. lasting at least a minute (had one super long one).
Doula was a big help over the phone, she'll be here soon but has to feed her kids lunch first, lol. She helped me realize I was letting the contractions totally take over and was just keeping my head above water instead of using the techniques to cope like deep slower breaths etc..

So afraid to go in and get another painful cervical check. Even more afraid to go through that only to hear I'm still a 3

 

[southerngal2]

Hang in there Lisa!

I'm glad your doula was helpful.

 

[luckyme225]

You can do it Lisa!! Glad your doula is helping to make it more manageable. What is the guidelines anyways for contractions and going to the hospital? I totally forgot haha.
