I feel like I am going to throw up/poop my pants....

at the same time. Seriously, how do people labor at home for this long? I want an epidural like, now. My contractions aren't even 5 minutes apart yet (more like 8) and I can't handle it. I am afraid if I go in they will send me home though.

On another note--we watched baby mamma last night and laughed at the scene where Amy Poehler is being wheeled into the hospital "I feel like I am Shiiting a knife! Why won't you biitches help me?!"

LOL.

You're doing great!

Did you try a warm bath? Exorcise ball? Punching DH to transfer some of the pain?

You just gave me a movie idea for later! Thanks Hope your contrax start being nice to you!

OMG - I just watched Baby Mama over the weekend. Funnier than I thought it would be - where she's grabbing at EVERYTHING while being wheeled in? HILARIOUS.

 

I'm sorry your labor is sucking thus far. How far do you live from L&D? If I were you I'd give it a shot. If you're in a lot of pain they might keep you regardless of contractions...? (Or is that wishful thinking on my part?)

I'm sorry it sucks so bad....But you'll have a baby very, very soon!  And, I think you just won "Best Post Subject Ever".

Don't forget to breath! do you have any music or activities that you can kind of get lost in?

That's great you're at least making progress!!!  Hang in there and try to focus on your baby instead of the pain!  You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS!!!!

HANG IN THERE GIRL!  I think you have the right idea with staying at home as long as you can because getting there and then them sending you home would be no fun!

You're a trooper, did you call and talk to your doc...maybe they want you to come in...and you can get some relief, you may have more progress than you think.

I took a nice long warm shower which totally helped, but as soon as I got out my body was like "Okay, time to be in pain again!" Whenever I have a contraction I grab onto a pillow. My S/O is working from home right now and on a conference call so I can't beat on him, lol. What has honestly helped the most is last night I asked him to rub my lower back and I was able to fall asleep for a while after that. It helped so much.

I doubt they would keep me unless I am really dilating. Maybe I am and that's why it hurts so much?

We will see. I can't handle this much longer.

I'd go in just to be sure.  Feeling like puking & pooping often happens during transition and they'd definitely keep you if that's where you are.  I dry heaved in between each push, fun times.
