Question for you mamas. So I have started dilating and still having contractions and lots of cramping along with back…

That's awesome! Congrats it shouldn't be too much longer. Keep us updated

@ashleybradford92, I wish it was but I have progressed since yesterday. I’m now 3cm. So tomorrow I’ll walk. Lol

@boy.momxxx3 it sounds like the real thing then. How are you today?

@sara_elizabeth2014, that’s what I’m hoping but some say if it doesn’t take the first time it could happen again. I hope that’s what it was lol.

@ashleybradford92, I hope not. Within the past like 36hrs he dropped I’ve been contracting cramping bleeding I dilated lost my mucus plug and contractions getting stronger. I pray this isn’t something that’s going to last two weeks. Lol

@boy.momxxx3, totally understandable. It could have been the way it was put in that made it only numb half your body. And sometimes they make things go quicker but sometimes it can slow things down too. But anyways my doctor told me you have up until right before you push to get an epidural. She said that the whole thing about only having a certain time to get it is a myth.

It might be prodromal labor. Which can last a couple of weeks. 😒I had it the last two rounds, not fun at all, but rumor has it that it makes labor quick. I gave up at 38 weeks, with my son and decided to do an easy session Tae Bo to work through it. Was in labor within 12hours 😂

@albertrettazariah1386, lol well idk if he’s coming. I’m hoping things speed up soon lol like tonight hahahaha @sara_elizabeth2014, see I didn’t know this. I thought at like 8cm you couldn’t. However another reason I’m concerned is because with my last it only numbed half my body and things went quick after it was given to me. Idk paranoia I guess hahahaha

@boy.momxxx3, you have up until it’s time to push to get an epidural

😆😆we have the same due date. 😡 everyone's September babys are coming out except mines 😂. Stubborn child.

@jordanrwilliams25, with my first I tried to wait it out but I couldn’t get past 4cm I was also induced. With my second I dilated naturally to 3cm with no contractions at all but then they induced me for other reasons. This is the first time I’ve dilated and contracted without any assistance and I guess I’m just nervous because they say the more pregnancies the quicker labor can be. I’ve been nesting and exhausted all at the same time. No meds is kind of a fear lol. That’s all

@boy.momxxx3 oo . Idk what the norm is but my ob told me she'd still do the epidural at 9-10 cm as long as she isn't sliding out yet I can still have it .. I asked because I wanted to try to go as long as I can without it to try natural

@albertrettazariah1386, @erikak, @k.i.k.i, @jordanrwilliams25, they’re still about 9-10 min apart. 😩😩😩 I just want to make sure it’s not too late for an epidural. Guess I’ll just have to deal until they get closer together. Thank you ladies. I guess I’m so anxious.

The app timers also alert you when the timing is close enough to go in I use it for mine

The 511 rules each contractions are 5 minutes apart each contractions last for one minute in just one hour that's when they told me to go in

How far apart are your contractions? :)

Get a app to help time them . it might help. If its constantly yes you probably should take that trip to the er.
