I'm Back...I did not have the baby yet
Hi Ladies!
First of all, thank you so much for all the labor vibes and well wishes on Wednesday. I did not have the baby yet, but I was told I could have her any day.
Here's what happened:
I went to the NSUH Wed. night after my contractions were 4-5 minutes apart at around 11PM. I was hooked up to a contraction monitor and they were 3-4 minutes apart. Dh & I were so excited and Gracie's heartbeat was perfect. I was examined and I was 2 centimeters and 60% effaced, same as Tuesday night at my doctor's office. The L & D staff were so wonderful. The nurse said I am in "early labor" and could have the baby in 24-48 hours. They told us to walk around the hospital for 2 hours, then come back to get another internal. They thought I would be 3-4 centimeters by then. Well we came back to L & D at 1AM. I was examined and still no change. I started crying in L & D because I knew I was having contractions yet my body was not cooperating. I was so frustrated. They sent us "home" to my MIL's in Albertson. We were told to come back when my contractions felt stronger and more intense, or if my water broke. So all day yesterday I was having the same mild to moderate contractions now 3-5 minutes apart, with no changes.
I went to my doctor's office this morning and went back on the contraction monitor. I am still having mild to moderate contractions 3-5 minutes apart on average. The doctor told me to go home to Monroe and relax. The only thing I can do now is wait it out. The doctor said that this rarely happens with early labor, but it does happen sometimes. He did say that sometimes the contractions can stop all together, then come back days later. I asked if it was BH and he said it was "early labor". He said I can go on for days like this or have the baby tonight, there is no way to really predict when my labor will get more intense or if it will stop.
I did not want to wait at my MIL's anymore. Since I can have  tonight or in a week from now, DH & I decided that we would wait it out in our own house. I have another doctor's appt. on Tuesday, so hopefully I will have her before then or when I see the doctor my cervix will be more dilated.
I am so frustrated. It feels like bad period cramps, yet not bad enough where I can't breathe. I just feel uncomfortable.
Anyway, please send labor vibes and dilation vibes my way. I just wish my water would break because it seems as if that is the "golden ticket" to get admitted and have the baby. I guess I hate not knowing when things will happen. Thanks again.

I am still getting contractions; a painful one then a mild one and so on. They are 3-5 minutes apart, same as Wednesday night. The painful contractions are becoming a little more intense as the night goes on. I am waiting until all of the contractions are intense and painful before I decide to head down to the hospital. I don't want to go an be sent home again.
Keep the labor, dilation & effacement vibes coming!

Re: I'm Back...I did not have the baby yet
So sorry, you must be feeling disappointed. Hang in there. Sending you dilation and effacement {{{{vibes}}}}. Hope you don't have to deal with the contractions without progress for much longer. Try to stay relaxed, drink lots of fluids, maybe take a bath for a 1/2 hour. Some people say that helps things along if you're water hasn't broken yet. And keep walking if you can.

Everything is still the same as last night. 
I am bored out of my mind! I HATE just sitting around and doing nothing. I HATE waiting around for something to happen.
DH is painting the guest room and doing all the last minute projects around the house before the baby comes.
What can I do besides walk and take a bath? I have already done that. I am afraid to go anywhere by myself. My SIL has plans today and so does my friend that I have up here in Monroe. The rest of my friends are on LI. I would hate to ask them to drive up here when there is a good chance I could be driving down to LI to have the baby.
