Soooo, I JUST got a text from her!!
Her last time going in she was at 1cm, 70%
effaced(I think she mentioned that in one
of her posts).
She texted me to say that she was 3 1/2cm
and 80%!!!!
I'm sure they'll keep her, but she wasn't
sure!!!!
I'll def keep everyone updated...wait,
she's texting me NOW!!
They're making her walk around L&D for
an hour, then they're going to check her
again!!!

Ok, I'm really pissed right now guys. I'm
currently back at home. I was still
contracting when I left. He let me walk
for fourty minutes and since I didn't
progress any more in that amount of time
he told me I could go home. I swear, I'm
going to end up having this baby at home
at this rate. I understand that he doesn't
want to give me pitocin but the nurse even
said that with how my cervix and
everything is that it's not going to take
much for my water to break. She said that
it's very anterior and she barely has to
reach for it. Now, I'm having bad
contractions again and I just have to sit
and play the waiting game. Bad thing too
is that a lot of my pain is in my back so
here comes back labor.

I'm just livid right now. He sent me home
with some darn ambien again, which didn't
work the first time he gave it to me. I
want him to have contractions for 10 weeks
and then get sent home to deal with it.
Gas is expensive and I live 45 minutes
away from there. Why can't he understand
that?

The pain is in your back because she is
sunny side up.
It is probably better to be at home
laboring than walking around a hospital.
You can at least moan and groan all you
wat at home. Wait a few more hours and go
back. It is obvious, at this point, your
labor isn't going to stop.
One GREAT thing for back labor: get your
crock pot and put some HOT water in it.
Turn it onto HIGH to start and put some
wash cloths or hand towels in the HOT
water. Have your husband use these warm
washclothes (wrung out of course) on your
back, with pressure. MMMMM, that is the
best. Plus, they are always at the ready,
since they are 'cooking' in the crock
pot.
Another thing to do to help speed things
up: Get on an exercise ball and roll your
hips around in a circular motion. This
helps gravity pull the baby down.
WORST THING TO DO FOR LABOR is to lay on
your back! If you sit in a chair, sit in a
kitchen chair backwards and have your
husband rub your back and apply pressure
when the contracts start.
Good luck!!

Thanks for the advice Ingi! I don't mind
being at home as I'm trying to go all
natural. I'm trying very hard. I know that
the chances of problems occurring with the
epi are rare but I want to know that I can
do this. I'm just tired of having to ride
back home just to go back in. I've pretty
much been having contractions all week
now. I know I'm in labor-I've known for
the last couple of days that this was
coming. I'm gonna have to try the
washcloth thing Ingi.
I can tell she's sunny side up too because
her little hands still rub right against
the front of my pelvis all the time. She
was doing that in my ultrasound four weeks
ago. Every time I have contractions I have
the back pain with it but today it's been
horrible. I'm just really thankful that
she waited this long but I'd be lying if I
said I wasn't ready.

I hope this one flips. I don't like back
labor. It feels horrible. I'm about to
take a shower to try to relive some of the
pain and just so I can get clean in
general just in case. I'm pretty sure I'll
be going back in so we shall see.

Gabe was sunny side up, too. He was born
that way, though. Never flipped. & I
pushed for 3 hours. I hope to god you
don't have that kind of luck, Stef! You're
gonna do GREAT. I took a hot shower in the
awesome shower I had in my L&D room,
& it really helped! Good luck &
keep us posted!

She's been a tough one. If I don't go back
before morning I'm gonna go out with my
mom and walk somewhere. The pressure just
ridiculous. I think that my doc just
didn't want to be at the hospital on a
friday night. I really hope my water
breaks soon so I have to make him come
in.
Laura-you are so telling the truth. It
looks like since I was having contractions
already and I was almost 4 that he would
have went ahead and gave me something. It
probably wouldn't have taken too long with
a little help.
