40 Week Appointment

I just got back. I'm 2 cm. Dilated
finally!!! The doctor said that if I
have 2 contractions back to back to just
go to the hospital and not wait. He said
that when it happens, it'll be quick. He
said to pack our bags, put gas in the car,
and don't go anywhere. He even asked how
far away we lived. Lol
he said that her head is really low. He
thinks i'll have her before my doctor
comes back on monday, so I won't need to
be induced!

Well we just went to a wedding and while
we were there I had 4 contractions, 3
minutes apart, so we left. Well on the
way home, they were 5 minutes and once we
got home they were like 10 minutes.
They've been about 10 minutes apart for
almost 2 hours. My back is burning and
hurting and gets worse with every
contraction and i'm starting to feel
discomfort in the front. We're making
candy apples right now. I'll keep timing
and keep you guys posted. I wish I would
have asked him what "back to back" meant.
If I would have listened to what he said
about 2 back to back I would have gone
when I had 4 - 3 minutes apart. I'm glad
we waited since they slowed down.
I started typing this a little while ago
and since then they've become 8 minutes
apart.

I slept pretty good last night considering
I had terrible back pain and
contractions.
The back ache is gone, but the
contractions are going strong at 7 minutes
apart right now.
How long can this go on until they're 3-5
minutes apart????
I'm not feeling any pain yet, it just gets
really tight and I feel some discomfort
down there with and without contractions.

I remember that my contractions suddenly
went from a regular 6 minutes apart to 2
minutes. I'd been having them 6 minutes
apart, at home, for about 6 hours or so
and when my waters broke they just
suddenly went to 2 minutes. We hopped in
the car pretty damn fast then I can tell
you because we lived 40 mins away from the
hospital. That was when the pain really
kicked in - when my waters broke. I only
leaked a little at first, with a bit of
blood - so was probably my mucus plug
coming away. I lost the rest of my
waters later on in the hospital.
Best of luck - it definitely sounds like
you will be having your baby soon!

I think I just lost what's left of my
mucus plug. My underwear was full and I
had to wipe about 8 times to get it all
out. No blood though. I never bled,
not even after exams, so I guess that's
okay. We're going to a barbeque, which
is only 20 minutes away from the hospital,
so if things get worse, we'll be closer.

The stupid contractions are still
inconsistent. I'm feeling a little
different, but they're 5-12 minutes apart.
I'm so aggravated. I'll be okay if she
stays in until monday. The doctor on
call right now is not my doctor. He
likes to do c-sections b/c it's convienent
for him and if you do go vaginally, he
pushes for no epidural. I don't want a
c-section for no reason and I want the
darn epidural. I'm scared that he makes
me believe that a section is in the best
interest of the baby and I don't really
need one.
I just went walk at walmart for 2 hours so
i'm exhausted. I'm going take a nap.

Just to say with logan I lost my plug and
about 12 hours later I went into labour.
I think you'll have her by tomorrow!
Good luck!

I would have loved for my doctor to tell
me I shouldn't get an epidural. If he's
so against epidurals, tell him that he can
push your baby out for you.
