I’ve been having contractions since last night. Not “Oh look, my abdomen is strangely tight” contractions, but rather grab Noah and complete the cycle of pain as I screech out in pain contractions. This is less exciting than it could be because it’s too soon. And it’s too soon so I’m scared and freaking out and that makes it hurt more. Awesome.
I went and saw an acupuncturist today. My midwife came up. I’m not dilated by my cervix has softened in a way that usually indicates–hey! Here comes a baby! I’m up to 22 pills a day with all of the different herbal stuff I’m taking to try and stop the contractions.
I’m on bed rest for certain until the contractions stop and probably for a lot longer than that. No more lifting *anything*. No exercise of any kind. Of course no sex. No spicy food. No excitement.
I’m probably going to be less responsive on IM and no I don’t really want to go into all the details over and over.
wow, that sounds scary. i am definitely thinking of you guys and hoping that you will get the birth scenario that you want, and if not that everything will still go as smoothly as possible. good luck!
*hug*
Good luck.
*hugs* Thinking of you, Princess.
Oh dear. That’s scary!
Good luck!
Hi sweetie….thanks for the update. I’ve been worried about you.
I hope you can come to some peace of mind about what is happening, whether it be soon and in the hospital or in a few weeks at home. Either way, you get a marvelous prize at the end, when you get to see your little lizard for the first time. It’s magical, and it’s all that really matters in the end.
If it feels ok to you, please accept my warm, firm virtual huggage and hair pets, and know that I believe in you.
Good luck!
my thoughts are with you.
sending calming thoughts your way.
::big hugs::
My best wishes and most comforting thoughts to you, dear one.
Love you! If you need anything, or if you just want to chat, let me know….
Oh suck. I hope you make it through to home-birth term, without going insane, and if you don’t I just hope the baby will come through all happy-fine. A year from now that’s all that’ll matter, right?
Oh no! No painted preggers babe photos!
Not the worst thing in the world, I know, but I was looking forward to it.
Well, maybe I can try to visit Saturday if you feel like visitors.
Bummer! How much too early is it? I’ve lost track of where you are.
I sure hope things work out OK; I’ve got my fingers crossed for you.
