I might take this back later today...

Holy crap...I don't think I'll get nookie from Brian tonight...He's suffering from sympathy everything! He's nauseous, with tummy cramps right now....

 

lol, poor dude
cody got really sick when I was in labour......he actually complained that he was more tired and exhausted than I was....what a dweeb.....
hopefully he'll be feeling better later

 

Haha....dweeb. I haven't heard that forever.


Oh, congratulations! I'm excited for you. I hope all goes well for you, baby, and your man. Good luck.

 

Oh!!!!!!! Keep us updated! I'm all excited now! And that's really cute about the sympathy pains...it makes me melt.

 

Sympathy pains cute??? There's a reason us guys don't give birth. It's because we're WIMPS!!! Knowing my luck, I'll be passing a kidney stone while Holly's pushing, shouting at her "YOU DID THIS TO ME!!!"

Update: We went to the birthing center last night when her contractions were about 5 minutes apart. However, Holly's dialated to 2-3 cm and they thought it best for us to come home and get a good night's sleep. That's fine with me as I desperately needed it and so did Holly. We're guessing tonight's the night. Hopefully sooner. I knew my baby was shy, but I wasn't expecting the longass labor. Actually, I don't know what I was expecting, being new at this and all.

 

Oh my goodness, how exciting! Good luck guys, and make sure to let us all know what's going on if you can!

Much love...awww, I'm just so excited for you both!

 

YAY!!!!! Oh I'm so excited. I had Trey do a baby dance for you guys!! Lots of good baby vibes headed your way. I'll be thinking about you guys tonight at work. Hope it all runs smooth for you guys! lots of love (((((hugs)))))

 

Any news? I hope they don't have gastroenteritis (stomach flu) that is terrible while you are in labor.

We need to all think, pray, meditate for Freek and mono.

Blessings

 

This is freek...Can't bother to log out...

Just woke up...I'm really uncomfortable...So good thing right?

Wish us luck.

And don't worry, Maggie. This is labour.

 

Oh, how exciting! Can't wait to read your birth story!


(This is totally normal for a first baby to take her time!)

 

(dancing around and singing like a 4 year old)

We're gonna have a baby We're gonna have a baby We're gonna have a baby....right here on Hip Forums AGAIN!!!!! YAY!!!!

 

I'm so excited to hear more news!!

 

*waiting impatently* i keep checking back to see if anything new is happening.....lol

 

I...
Can't...
TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!

I've been in early labor for almost 36 hours. 36 HOURS!

I'm feeling anxious, sort of a "shit or get off the pot" sort of sentiment...

The only time I FEEL the contractions is when I'm lying down...Any other position and I can't feel them even if my uterus contracts...

And the contractions keep petering out...I'll get an hour or so of consistent and long-lasting contractions, and then they stop again...

I'm frustrated...

 

That sounds like my first labor. Start, stop, start, stop. Have you tried walking? Sometimes walking can progress labor.

Hang in there hon, you're almost there.

 

We went on a walk just now...No contractions...TONS of pressure but no contractions...that I could feel anyway....

And because it was hot out, I was sweaty all over...and for a second had myself convinced my water had broken, but after a shower...alas...nothing...

 

Awww man...have you put in any more calls to your doc?

It's going to happen soon. It doesn't seem like it, and I know this is the most frustrating part, but hang in there, you're almost there! Almost there!

{{{Hugs}}}

 

Yeah...and she wants the contractions consisttent in spacing and length. At most, 5 minutes apart and one minute long....

 

this is just like what my labour was like with Leane. Your body's trying to get into active labour, but it just can't quite get there......
rest is my best advice, if you can. I was in labour for 38 hours with her before the hospital insisted on giving me pitocin....and I felt dead. I really do feel for you!
My contractions did that all day and then by midnight, boom, they were long, painful and very close together......so hopefully that'll happen for you soon.

 

Come on, come on, come on progressive labor vibes!
