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)
Re: Sooo tired
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.
