Have you tried calling the hospital or an on call nurse to see what they suggest since you are already half way dilated? Maybe they'll suggest you go in and get checked out. Then you can have your daughter's nurse come and you can go get checked and if you have to stay then at least you will be set.
Yes I called the on call ob and he said five min apart.. that's what my ob told me at last appt too so I kind of figured that's what they would say. And they are still very consistent at 10 min apart. And oh boy are they strong. Much stronger then my normal BH. I can't talk or move or open my eyes through them at all.
Darn! Well, hang in there. Maybe call the nurse to go over now since they're still consistent. That way you don't have to worry about it later and dh can focus on helping you now? I hope everything works out fine for you tonight. Keep updating pls(:

I am still hangin on. Lol. They are still every ten minutes on the damn dot and it has progressed to starting in my back and wrapping around the front. My step mom is like five min away and will come sit (while DD is asleep, and she is completely stable while sleeping) while the nurse gets here. She has her daughter with her and will have to bring her so she is letting her sleep for as long as possible. I have known this nurse for awhile but just started using her again when our all the time nurse moved. Her daughter and DD are really good friends and she is a sweety so I don't mind. But man I wish the contractions would either speed up or slow down. Something needs to happen! I cannot sleep because of how painful they are. But I want to do most of my laboring at home. As soon as they hit like 6-7 min apart consistently I am going in!
maddib sound like there is progress if they are starting to wrap around your back. Have you tried taking a warm shower or bath? That helped with the pain for me while I was in there but made them closer together and more intense when I got out.

Hmm good idea. Is it normal I am still wiping away pink tinged discharge. It seems after a really bad contraction or two that's when it comes out.

Yeah, could still be part of your bloody show. As long as it's not a ton and bright red I think it's normal.
Ok good. Ya it's not a ton just one good wipe full every other time I pee (which is a lot! But I am drinking a ton of water) but it's light pink.
Your cervix could be opening more which could come with some irritation. You can always call just to make sure though(:
Ya I figured that's probably what it is. I am waiting for the on call on to call me. It's been an hr since I called last. They must be busy delivering babies. If I don't hear back soon I am gonna call again. But I will probably take a shower first. I would be freaking out if it was bright red but as of now it's just like pink discharge. Hopefully the shower helps speed things along a bit.
redlipz it felt so good!! I just got out so no idea if it will ramp them up or not. We will see! Thank you for talking with me and keeping me company at this hour! Lol
Wow! Active board tonight--which I'm thankful for as I'm having a serious bout of pregsomnia. Good luck to the "maybe I'm having contractions" crew! We will be waiting anxiously!

Of course after saying I probably won't go into labor any time soon earlier in this thread, I wake up to period-like cramping and my bloody show! In the night i thought it was just gas and a lot of discharge, so I shoved some tissues in my underwear and it was all bloody this AM. Ahhh.
Logically, I KNOW this could mean nothing (at least for a while) but man as soon as i saw the red toilet paper my adrenaline started pumping! I'm up trying to eat something and relax and see if I feel any real contractions.
A part of me is hyper-sensitive because my family *typically* has very quick (under 7 hour) births. Again, mine could be totally different, but there's a chance!
Man, it's hard not to go a little crazy once you feel like it could be happening to you!

Well, I'm contracting about every 20 minutes, some are pretty intense. DH is making a play list and dj'ing while I clean. Oh, and I've pooped like 4 times. If things get any more real we're going to start letting the appropriate people know ah!

Yay, due date buddy! All the labor dust and good, stretchy, painless thoughts to you! Good luck!
I woke up feeling like a truck hit me. I was up for an hour at 3am too. I'm soo tired, and I feel cruddy, and I should get my act together and take my family to church, but I really don't want to talk to anyone. I don't mind my friends asking me how I'm feeling, but when people who literally never speak to me make "haven't had that baby yet, huh?" comments, I want to punch them. And will DH take them all by himself and let me have the house to myself for the morning? No. So ready for baby eviction! Good thing I've got a looong list of stuff to plant in the garden today to keep me busy
Very curious to know how junch817 and maddib are doing this morning. So many maybe-babies happening right now!
Also carolyngrace - good luck, I hope it's the real deal!!!
I am at the hospital. Came in about 5am still at contractions every ten min. They did not want to progress but I was told to just come in. My ob couldn't be reached and I wasn't really dilating anymore so they were going to send me home. I was kind of falling asleep when I felt a big gush. And that was my water. It is still gushing every time I change positions. Eww! lol but I am here! And staying ! So yay LO can come out now!
maddib I failed you-_- I fell asleep after that. But I'm so happy that shower made you feel better and I can't wait to hear how the rest of your night went!
Holy babies batman!! I feel like every time I check the board, there's big news (I'm still in denial that we are heading into June, apparently). Good luck ladies - this is all very exciting
