Frustrated

[Zumbi]

Hi Everyone. Today is my due date and I am so frustrated I can't stand it. I lost my bloody mucus plug 2 weeks ago, last week I was 3cm dilated and 60% effaced, baby at 0 station and membranes have detached on their own, I've had tons of loose stools, nausea, insomnia, gobs of mucous, and have been experiencing real painful contractions that go from my lower back to my lower front since Monday - some accompanied by serious nausea. They are frickin painful but the don't progress. Every time they come about after DTD and I think it could possibly be it. I mean most of them hurt as much as my back hurt when I went to the ER for kidney stones. I have them for hours and hours - usually about 9 hours in a row or sometimes even 12. Everyone keeps asking if I've had the baby or how I'm feeling or if I've had signs. I'm totally about to loose it if this baby doesn't come soon!!! What's the deal??? Why won't my body work properly?

I wish I knew. I'm in a similar predicament (except my mucous plug is still intact, it stayed intact until transition with my second birth though).

It's hard to push away the worry, the "what-ifs", the desperation, the feeling of just throwing in the towel.

I have no words of wisdom, just sympathy

It sounds like both of us have hit rock bottom, maybe that means our turn is soon. It has to be, right?

Hugs!! I know it is hard. I'm the same boat... today I was feeling really bad mentally... but as the day progressed I am feeling better about still being pg. I hope you find some peace.

p.s. a nice big batch of cookies helped me feel better. Oh and grilled cheese sandwiches-- yum.
