I woke up this morning with constant cramps & backache & contractions every 9-10 minutes. Took a shower. Called my midwife. We got ready for a birth.
Things stalled. I'm dialated to a 4, In the whole day the midwives were here - from a check at around 11:30 and one at about 6 all that happened is the babys head moved down a tiny bit. I'm still having contractions, tried a bath to stop them but they aren't stopping. I'm nausious & having backache again.
My friend drove down from an hour/hour & a half away & my mom left work early. My husband stayed home. My kids are with their grandparents (they went ahead & kept them overnight since they were prepared to do so & the boys love staying there. Gives us a break anyway). I'm hoping things will kick in. My midwife doesn't have any other babies due for homebirths anytime soon so they left everything here, so it is ready to go whether its a day or three days or a week. I'm hoping for sooner rather than later. We'll see if I can sleep tonight.
i'm kind of dissapointed, but it didn't set in until after everyone left. I really thought it would be today.
We DID go up to babies r us after the midwives left since i had planned on going and buying a diaper bag today anyway (my husband saw the blue one someone gave me & i was going to use and told me NO haha). Got a super cute pink one. And we went to chik fil a for supper. My mom & friend came with us to do that stuff.
