Well, I started having contractions yesterday around 4pm. I was having about 16 per hour about 3-4 minuets apart. I talked to my midwife and she said to go to L&D so I stayed home for a few more hours and went in at about 8pm. My contractions at that point were 2-4 minuets apart but were only really intesnse while standing and or walking. So she checked my cervix and I was dialiated to a fingertip. She sent me to walk for an hour and I had 16 really strong contractions. She then checked me again and I was still fiingertip but I was then 25% effaced as well. So she told me to go home and get some rest. She said I am in early labor.
Well, rest was impossible. I layed in bed for 4 hours and had contractions. Then my acid reflux acted up and my heart was racing and I started having a panic attack. I then sat in my living room and watched TV for a while. My contractions were still about 4 minuets apart. Finally I fell asleep for about an hour only to wake up to painful contractions that were about 2 minuets apart. So i ate some breakfast and now my contractions are not as intense but they are still coming. I am having hot flashs, I feel very weak, and I also have awful gas pains not to mention the stabbing pains that I get in my cervix when I stand up. I AM DONE. I want some Pitocin. I want this to be over.
Here is the problem. My ^%^**((&%$ Midwife is arguing with me about my due date. She says she cannot induce me before 39 weeks. She says I am only 38 weeks per my LMP. I have told her my entire pregnancy that I was irregular and that I only had sex one time that month and that it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to only be 38 weeks. I was 39 weeks yesterday. I am so pissed that she is arguing with me. She was rude and makes me feel like a bad person for wanting this baby out. My husband met her for the first time yesterday and he said he thinks she is a rude b@#ch.
I am so aggrivated right now.

Sorry you're going through this right now, Amy. I know it must be hard on you. Hopefully you're too busy birthing to post right now.
