Q: 36 Hours of Contractions ...
asked by: ebarnhard33 on June 28th, 2007
Active User, very eHealthy
...and .i'm in .h.e.l.l.

they started around 3:30 tuesday afternoon and haven't stopped. we went to the hospital tuesday night when we thought they were close enough - every 5 to 7 minutes apart. well, my cervix stayed at 1 cm and wouldn't dilate. so they sent me home. they said it was probably early labor and it could last anywhere from a couple hours to a couple days, and to come back in when they were every 2-3 minutes apart.

well, here i am, 36 hours later, and still having contractions. they're anywhere from 6-15 minutes apart. i am so miserable i can't even describe it to you. i got no sleep last night and i honeslty don't know how much more of this i can take. more power to those women who want a drug-free birth - because i know i sure can't do it.

anyways, please just send some good vibes my way and get this baby into gear. i'm absolutely miserable!
