Ha! I have been praying every day that "today be the day...please?!" I have been having prodromal labor for over a week. Which doesn't seem that long when I read about others who are having it. But with an almost two year old and lost sleep at night, plus the extra work my body is doing during the day contracting and all the pressure, I AM EXHAUSTED! At this rate, if the baby doesn't come soon, I don't know that I will have the energy to make it through labor! And with my first, that was 44 hours so I don't know that I can do another of those on these fumes!
And the odd thing is, I am not at all apprehensive. I was about a month ago...still questioning everything but now I am so excited to labor and just have that testimony that I did it, women are capable, and my home is the best place to birth my baby! My DH is so excited too! Every night he tells me, "Now, if you have lots of contractions during the night, wake me up and I won't go to work!" I keep thinking, "Yeah, I wish it would happen!!!"
I am just having so much pressure and so many contractions. My cervix has come down and forward. All of the signs are there as far as physically, just no signs of show or anything! I didn't have ANY signs at all with my first. It just started out with bloody show and contractions. Every pop, feeling of pressure, and contraction, I get excited thinking, "this is it!" but it's not and I have these feelings of disappointment.
I just want my baby in my arms!!!
