Things are moving sloooooowly!

Still laboring at home, but hardly laboring. Only having a few contrax an hr at this point. Bouncing on the ball, staying active, feeling good.

Called my MW and she advised me to start the labor tincture they prescribed - it's an herbal mixture that I add to juice every hr for 5 hrs. I just took my first dose. We shall see...

I need to check in with them again at 5pm and if things don't pick up overnight, I need to be first thing in the morning.

    i'm sorry things are moving slowly, but glad you are able to stay home.  i'm sure you are probably sick of the ball, but my friend who is a midwife had me do big figure eights with my pelvis on the ball and it really got things going for my labor.  that and walking.  but seriously, i know it sounds silly, but the more figure eights i did on the ball, the faster and harder the contractions came.  before that, they were really inconsistent.  it takes awhile, but it worked for me.  i hope that helps!

    bummer, i'm sorry things are moving slowly but glad that it didn't hit you fast and hard.  mine was pretty hard from the get-go, but lasted 22 hours!  since your water already broke, i hope things pick up soon so you don't cross into the danger territory!!  thinking of you!

    GL!!  I'm so excited for you.  Walking (outside, 20-30 minutes at a time) made BIG difference for me.  It really sped things up. Either way you're doing all the right things - best wishes for the delivery of your dreams!
