This sucks

2AM I tell my husband (who got 2hrs of sleep after a 14hr physical work day) that we need to go to the hospital. My contractions were 2-3 minutes apart but not strong at all. We spent many hours at the hospital only to be sent home due to being a mere 1cm dilated. We managed to grab a big jug of OJ and a can of pringles to eat afterward. We then went home and my contractions didn't stop so I tried to encourage dilation with what a nurse suggested. Sex 4 times in 4 hours, wait an hour then go back in. We only made it 3 times and then I let him pass out. I didn't push for the 4th since he was really really not wanting it...i wasn't exactly in the mood either >.< So we go lunchless and I wake him at 5PM to go to the hospital again. We were going to be there for a while so I sent him out for food. I couldn't eat this food said doctor. After 4 hours of steady more painful contractions I finally dilated one more cm, so they kept me until 11PM. No more progress so now I'm back home contracting and scarfing down dinner. A lot of stuff in between and drama with getting my son to and fro whilst we were busy. What a day. It will be quite the night too. How does one sleep in slow labor? I've got tylenol, can do a warm bath, and hopefully I won't be miserable for days. That's right, they said labor could take DAYS QQ my first was so quick, so easy, no muss no fuss. Boooooooooo
