Been having contractions that are 5,6 minutes apart and really painful (from my lower stomach to my lower back) since 4 this afternoon. Hoping it is thinning my cervix and dilating me. Not sure when I'm gonna go to L&D. Going to try and wait as long as I can because I'm only 1cm and 60% effaced and my water hasn't broken or I haven't lost my mucus plug that I know of.
no, sorry I read your question wrong, they're lasting 50 seconds to a minute. @bianca_rose
Wow, that's a long contraction. Is that how long they were last night?
starts in my lower stomach then goes to my lower back. @bianca_rose
My water never broke and I never lost my mucus plug with baby two ....
The nurse at the birthing class told me that. It could be different for different hospitals though, you never know.
I went in last night and they just sent me home because my contractions slowed down and I was only 1cm dilated. but today the pain has gotton stronger and I'm trying to wait it out because I don't want to get sent home again. @meboom01
They say to go in whenever you have contractions that are 5 minutes apart regardless if your water broke or not or how dilated you are
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

I'm looking through my photos and I found one of my SO and I. I'm now thinking about how obsessed with him I am. I wanna see you and your man! Go! 😊
I deleted my last post🤦🏾♀️ I already seen that it was going left. 🥴
Oh ok lol but yeah that sounds like the real thing. If they start being consistently 2-5 mins apart I'd go in
