I started getting contractions 4-6 mins yesterday from 12pm I waited 1hrs and 1/2 just to make sure it wasnt another bout of false labor anyways I called hubby home and dropped elisa off at my dads and then we headed to the hospital. Contractions werent that strong but were coming in quite often with a caca load of back pain so I said what the heck we went to the hospital about 3/4ish and waited for a dr after being hooked up for a few mins they took my blod pressure which was really high 164/87 and would let me leave. I got checked by dr I had dilated to 1.5 from .5 as recorded on chart(with obgyn) and baby had dropped -2 or something like that. Anyways they made us walk around for a few hours and told us to come back after 6:30 so we went in at 7:05 to find out I had only dialted another cm(2 something not wuite 3) and baby had dropped even more they sent me home ~cry~!

So anyways I have been home going crazy im extremely sore havent been sleeping well and honestly just want this over and done with, the only thing that I have been able to do is eat omg I have never eaten so much in my life lol!!!

Anyways will keep u gals updated

I've yet to go through labor, but it doesn't sound fun. Good luck, and let's hope you have a fast and safe labor once it gets here.

You poor girl!! It definitely sounds like you are getting closer, just talk to that bundle of joy and say hurry up!!! Not much longer now!!! It is just so upsetting when you go through all of this and they just send you home! That is why I do not like working in labor and delivery. It just seems like you are soooo close and then they just send you home, heck, more action in e.R.
Good luck to you and yours!

I read that if you drink castor oil it should give you diarrhea and it's because your dehydrate that you go into labour.

Good luck jess I hope he comes out soon and fast!
