I wasn't a regular poster, but really enjoyed reading the birth stories from this board so here is mine!
The evening of October 24, I had been getting some stronger contractions
than usual. I told DH, ?tonight could be the night!?, as I had told
him every night for the past 8 nights.
So he just kind of nodded ?uh huh?. Then right before I went to bed,
about 10pm, I had some bloody show. I felt intense nervous excitement.
Mostly excitement that the time was finally here and that I?d get to see
my baby, and a little nervous that I was actually doing this. I tried
not to get too excited so I could still get some sleep. I went to bed
listening to my ?Come Out Baby? Hypnobabies track. I woke up at 2:30AM
to even stronger contractions. I timed a couple of them, but they were
not regular and still pretty far apart. I went back to bed and listened
to another Hypnobabies track. I woke up at 5AM to even stronger
contractions and timed them for an hour. They were closer together, but
still not consistent. I still knew this was happening that day, just
wasn?t sure how quickly it would progress.
