Re: **Great Big Labor Thread for the week of 4/10/17**
Thinking of you @Kipperoo as you are scheduled to be induced tomorrow at 7am right?
I know it means nothing about labor so it is just gross for no reason. This probably could have waited until TMI Tuesday but I am impatient and feel strongly about this lol.

We are still in the hospital and I'm thinking it'll stay that way. Fluid levels rechecked this morning and still too high to send me home since I'm at 4cm. I'm allowed to walk the halls. Doc said his head is right there but it just isn't giving the right amount of pressure to get things going. So he could move a little and things could start at anytime. Or we will be here until next Wednesday when we are 38 weeks. Still weepy and having a hard time being away from my boys. But they're able to visit and my DH can work from here so that's good. Just trying to take it a day at a time. Happy to have a place to vent a bit.

Thanks for the happy thoughts, ladies! I'm headed to the hospital shortly and nervous but hoping for the best. I miraculously slept from 10-3 (with only one pee break!) and finally admitted sleep defeat at 5 and took a shower. Plan now is to get ready, grab breakfast, and check in at 7am. I'm sure I'll be posting bored from my hospital bed on and off during the day...

Baby 2 - Due: 5/4/17
I started having contractions around 2pm yesterday (37weeks 2 days). They stayed consistent and if I was up moving around they were about 3-4 min apart. So after 2 hours I went to Labor and Delivery. I was still only 3cm (same as my dr appt on Thursday). They monitored me then had me walk the halls for about 45 min. Then monitored another hour. I was having contractions about every 5 min once i was laying down not movine much that would hit anywhere from 40ish to 75ish on the monitor, they checked and I was still at a 3... so I got sent home. Still having contractions, but they just don't seem to be doing the job right now. Cervix is soft but not progressing. I'm super sore from the pelvic checks and from the contractions. Today I'm still having contractions especially if I'm up moving around doing stuff. So at this point its just a wait and see if I am any farther than a 3 at my appt on Thursday.
I wanted to add mine because I'm a STM and def never thought I'd end up in L&D with "false labor". I feel a little silly, but I guess it happens

Thinking of you @mamatowildones. Glad to hear your boys can visit and that your hubs can we with you and still get some work in.
@Jkp7749 Sounds like a good place to be! How are you feeling about the birth of your little ladies?
@mamatowildones Hugs - hope your little one stays put until the magical 38 weeks. Vent all you need - the hospital can be so lonely!
@BeachMommy2B Try not to sweat the extra trip to L&D -- your body is just gearing up (I don't like to call it "false" labor - it's just not *active* labor). Hugs! Baby will be here before you know it.

@mdlorenz im so ready to meet them and my dr seems to think all would be fine any time so i am ready to have some reflief
@sweaterboots yea, it was during my weekly visit. I do realize that it doesnt necessarily mean anything though... I just hope in this case it does
@BeachMommy2B I'm sorry you got sent home.
@Jkp7749 how exciting! Only a few more weeks.
Like others have said, don't feel bad about the trip to L&D @BeachMommy2B. Each pregnancy/birth is different, and it's better to be diligent and on top of things than not. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, though.
@Kipperoo Sorry you're bored, but I'm glad the wifi is holding up! I love your updates. Hoping the night goes smoothly for you! Thinking about you!
