I've been having contractions for the last two days. Yesterday they were about 3 minutes apart lasting about a 45 seconds to a minute. We had happened to have a midwife appointment and she did an internal and I was 2 cm dilated and 100% effaced. She predicted we'd have the baby not yesterday, but some time today. Well, the contractions were pretty bad so we called our doula and after about 4 hours we called in the midwife. She did another internal and I was only at a 3. She suggested that I take some Tylenol and Benadryl to get some sleep, since I hadn't really had any for a few days. Well, I did that, it was really great, but now my contractions are pretty much gone. I've had maybe 10 all morning. We are going to take a walk later to try and get contractions moving again, but I'm really frustrated that nothing is going on anymore.
Re: Frustrated
I wish I had something better to say than 'LO will come when he's ready!'
It's very frustrating!
