I wonder what my OB will say tomorrow at my appointment. I told her last week to check me because I've been not feeling okay, and she just tried to talk to me like I was an idiot. After my recent visit to the hospital showing me in early labor, I wonder if she will try and talk down to me again🤔

I've been in early labor for a week now and I'm still only 1cm as of yesterday. I also have people thinking that early labor contractions aren't real or painful and that "I will know when it's the real thing"..early labor contractions are the real thing damnit.

@amandaroper012287, I love it when they try to tell me "oh well when they get painful" and I'm just like "no bitch these ARE painful. You don't know what I'm feeling." Early labor is still LABOR, just the beginning stage of it. The contractions still hurt. Maybe not as much as they're going to once active labor begins, and definitely not when we're ready to push. But these hurt.

yes, it's getting to be physically and mentally exhausting

@amandaroper012287, I wonder if we could ask about induction?

I'm not gonna consider induction until I hit at least 40 weeks and even then I will go for water breaking to see if I can still go naturally. I hate the thought of pitocin, it makes contractions more painful so you pretty much have to get an epidural.

@amandaroper012287, that's very true. My whole thing is that being in early labor is already physically exhausting me. Im scared I won't have the energy if I go into labor naturally.

I feel the same way that's why I'm trying so hard to rest as much as possible when I'm not contracting and even when I am. it seems to be harder on me emotionally than physically most days..yesterday was pretty bad and today has been better but the mental part of it is still effecting me. but trust me I was about to ask them to break my water yesterday because it was so bad, but I'm still only 1cm.

@amandaroper012287, that's the frustrating part about early labor!!! You feel it, but when it comes to dilation, you can't see it. It just happens, and you can only tell by feeling it.

yeah I just now started feeling that crappy feeling right before I start contracting so I'm gonna take a nap if I can sleep through them lol sleep is the only thing that helps me get through this mentally.
