Sooo tired

I have been having contractions 10 minutes apart for almost 24 hours. (Sorry for TMI) I lost my mp around midnight last night and have been bleeding ever since. Other than the first hour or so when there was quite a bit there hasn't been a huge amount but enough that I keep having to change panty liners and there's some every time I wipe. Doctor had me go to L&D but since the contractions aren't getting closer together they told me to go home and rest until they do and that I'd probably be back in tonight. Problem is how the hell do you rest when you have 4 kids to feed, help with homework, make take baths, put to bed, make sure they have school clothes ready for morning all while having a contraction every 10 minutes? ?? I've had about an hour of sleep in the last 24 hours and I'm so exhausted I don't think I'd be able to push this baby out at this point. Ugh! Stupid contractions need to either do their job or go away! (Sorry so long)

  • Stay strong mama!! Thinking of you. T&p's that the contractions progress into something!!
  • Oh my goodness that's tough! I take it you don't have anyone close by to call on for help? A babysitter to give you a break, or a childcare service? Sorry these are stating the obvious I know. I hope those contractions sort their shit out soon and get that baby on its way. Good luck!!
  • Fingers crossed they pick up and baby comes soon!

  • T&P's that things get rolling pretty soon for you! Do you have your parents nearby? Or maybe your inlaws to help? 
  • Thank you ladies so much for your support! I was able to sleep off and on for about 2 hours before I had to get the kids ready for school thankfully.

    My grandma lives with us and she tries to help but they are hard for her to handle and she isn't able to help with their homework. The rest of my family that would be able to help apparently are so used to me being the one doing everything for everyone else that they don't think I need help if I'm not actually in the hospital. I even had some of them asking for favors and rides yesterday and this morning. I so wish my dad was retired because he would be able to help me so much then, he's the only one I can count on. But he has to get up at 2 am 6 days a week and work for 12 hours so he would have to take a day off to be able to help.
