I had contractions 5 minutes apart and even closer, very powerful for about a day in the hospital, but wasn't dilating at all. so I got sent home. still getting contractions but not as close together. anyone experience this? and how long did it go on until you were in active labor?
The same thing happened to me!! The best thing to do is try to stay calm and rest because you'll know when it's time. They'll become unbearable to a point where you won't be able to talk or focus on anything else but getting through it!! Good luck honey and I'll be looking out for an "it's time" post! #fingerscrossed @mommabear2b
hmm hopefully that's the case for me @bashsmommy1115 . mine were 5 minutes apart yesterday but I wasn't dilating. so they send me home 😭
And it's naturally progressed. When I would have bad ones id get on my knees and sway side to side when I could sit up lol and I bounced on the corner of the bed in between the contractions
@mommabear2b, they started coming every 3 minutes and I had already called when they were 4-5 minutes apart and they told me to wait til they could get my dr and I just went ahead and got ready to go because I was in so much pain and by the time I was ready they called me and said come in and when I did I was 4 cm!!
it's killer @bashsmommy1115 I'm pretty tolerable of pain but this is horrible. I sure hope I go into labor soon. how did you know to go in if you were already having contractions? and was there anything you did to progress things? or did it naturally progress?
thanks for replying!! @bashsmommy1115 I'll definitely keep things posted. as of now, I'm feeling miserable. lol
