NO BABY.
Contrax started yesterday evening around 7pm, were irregular, then regular, then irregular.
Went to bed, couldn't sleep because of the painful contrax, started actually timing them at 2 am. Every 5 minutes, like clockwork, they come, last a minute and stop. Painful but bearable.
At 5:30am we call the birth clinic. They tell us to come in, but no need to rush.
We get there at 7 am, contrax still regular.
After waiting *2 hours* in the waiting room, contrax become irregular and weaker. Finally, we get a room, get checked and I'm not dialated at all, the cervix is posterior and a little shortened, but other than that, no changes. They 'test' me to see if it really is labor by giving me an anti-spasmodic. Contrax continue, so we think we're good to go. They tell us to go take a long walk, get some lunch and come back in the afternoon.
We do. After lunch, contrax still regular, we sit down on a park bench. I'm totally wiped out, so exhausted from not sleeping that I'm practically hallucinating. I fall asleep, wake up a little later and everything has come to a complete halt. We walk some more, hoping things will pick up. They don't.
So we went back, told them we were going home, came back and I crashed and slept so hard for 3.5 hours and here I am, feeling annoyed with myself and frustrated and pretty tired of being pregnant.
Btw, am exactly 40 weeks today. I'm lucky, I still have a week before they start talking about induction here, so hopefully baby will show up before the 17th.
Sigh. Long, hard, no fun day. C'mon baby, we're ready!!!
