Congratulations @kns1988! So glad you're both doing well and I can't wait to hear the story!
@michelle59-2 FX you can get to a 3 soon and get the epidural and some rest. And to echo what PPs have said, I would totally call your husband out on the specific things you've mentioned here. You are in labor! If there's a time to advocate for your needs and get exactly what you want, it's now.
@kns1988 Congratulations!!!!!! Cannot wait to hear more! @michelle59-2 You got this. And exactly what @SKZW said regarding cluing H in on his missteps. This is not his moment. He is your support person and that role is a huge deal. He needs to take it seriously. He doesn't get room to complain to you right now or eat in front of you and if you ask for something he should bust ass to make it happen with a supportive word and a smile. Also you feel free to complain away to us.
@michelle59-2 - This is exactly the place to complain! If my husband ate tacos in front of me while I was starving and in labor, I would have punched him in the nuts. You're the one in labor. This is allllll about you. He needs to shape up. Hope you get that epidural soon! Hang in there!
Thank you, ladies! He straightened out for a bit, but now has an attitude if I ask him to grab something or help me. So I asked him to take a walk.
Baby's heart rate is dropping during contractions. They're hoping she's just pinching her cord. If that's not the case, we'll have a C section. She also turned and is "sunny side up" so I am currently using a peanut ball, which I actually like. And am currently on 13 units of pit and 4cm dilated, 100% effaced and -1 station.
@michelle59-2, I'm sorry your hubby is not being very helpful and that baby's heart rate is dipping. Hoping baby comes today without too much more trouble!

Hoping you're progressing @michelle59-2 and that you had a talk with your DH.
Good luck @michelle59-2 - thinking of you and hope H is a total rockstar from here on out!
FX you got some rest and are progressing @michelle59-2. Did you let your H know how you're feeling?
