UPDATE: Beatrix is here! I think my labor is starting...  

post #1 of 18
Thread Starter 
I've been having on and off contractions since last night. They're starting to get more intense and regular now, even when I'm lying (laying?) down. I also have to run to the bathroom and poop every time I eat. My due date is two days from now, and DS was seven days early, so I'm ready! Send me ELV, please!
thanks,
Erin

Well, Beatrix arrived on Thursday night, May 18th, at 11:57 p.m. 7 lbs, 4 oz. I ended up going from 4 cm to 10 and pushing in two hours. Whew! I had some moments there where I didn't think I was going to make it, but DH and my doula were fabulous. We're home from the hospital less than twelve hours later. Yay!

She's a sleepy girl in comparison to my DS, so nursing has been a little bit harder. But I think she's starting to see it as a good thing.

Thanks for all the good wishes!
