Prodromal labour
Just my luck ladies, I've been having contractions since 9pm last night that were 5-9 mins apart and about 1- 1 and half mins long all night till about 6am but no change in intensity. Fell asleep, woke up at 7:12am and they tapered off to every 12 mins apart. Went to the hospital and no change to cervix. I don't want to be induced unless it's going on for couple days, and I know my water won't break till I'm in active labour. Already about 14hrs of contractions so far....Guess I'm in this for the long hall.

I do love the way people say you will know when your in labour and having contractions well I will be honest I didn't know and my pains weren't that severe till I was fully dilated I'm sure everyone has different pain levels
contractions are 5 mins apart but there not changing my cervix 😥 I'm headed home with no 👶
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?
Can't sleep through the pain😭 phoned triage got to wait till pains are 3-4 mins apart, lasting 1 minute for an hour, already at 5 mins apart lasting 1 minute. Hopefully not long before I can go in! Just can't believe it's actually happening! Surprised myself with how well I'm coping, I haven't cried yet and I've not used one single curse word😂
How far apart do contractions need to be before going in? Mine are about 5 mins and 30 seconds long... consistently but I would like to stay home long as possible!
