Coffee IV please

My sister just had her baby. I've been at the hospital, at her request, since 7:30 last night. I haven't slept, I'm dealing with my own contractions now. Thankfully, that wasn't the case last night. Last night, they were just my normal extreme tightness for a minute every 5-7 minutes. This morning they don't hurt still, but they feel different.

As much as I would love to meet this little man today. I really would like a couple hours of sleep.

  • Hang in there and hope you can take a nap.

    The nurse offered me pain meds and Benadryl so I could sleep after I had been up since 1 am and wasn't making any progress. She said a lot of times women will then wake up in active labor. I didn't, but it sure made me sleep! It also made his heart rate drop though, but I'm very sensitive to Benadryl. I initially didn't want any meds but I was so exhausted from not eating or sleeping at that point I didn't care.

    ETA I guess you're probably not sitting in a hospital bed yet though. Good luck and I hope you get some rest!

  • Right now I'm sipping a chai latte waiting for them to be ready for family. My mom drove, so I can't even leave yet. Both of the grandmas got a little sleep last night, so they are jibbering away like crazy in the waiting room.

    I'm a repeat c-section, so I will be in/out pretty fast if it should happen today. However, then I would be dealing with my exhaustion and a newborn.

  • I feel so much better after just an hour of sleep. Still feeling off, and can't walk without a horrible pop and sharp pain. My husband is watching DS and DD is at school. Hope to get some more sleep before school is out. Thanks for the concern ladies.

    I believe you can get it caffeine free, but it isn't naturally. Plus I got Scooter's dirty chai. It has a shot of espresso in it.

  • Good sister.  I would probably do the same for mine.  Just make sure to get some rest soon!
  • If you're trying to avoid PTL I would work on getting some sleep and skip the caffeine. Neither one will help you out.

    I'm a day away from when I gave birth to both the kids. The doctor is fine with how everything looks now. She's just waiting for my water to break, or me to hit my surgery date. I slept while I could, but my husband had to go work at the church. Now I'm keeping myself awake to watch the kids solo.
