after two nights of ctx keeping me awake part of the night only to peter out around 6am. i was feeling hopeful yesterday when i had ctx all day that slowly got closer together and was losing chunks of jello like stuff sometimes tinged with blood. ctx were around 10 min apart in the evening and during dinner and a walk afterwards they were around 5 min apart. i really felt like things were happening, i called my mw and she thought so too. so we took the dog over to a friends house and called my mom to come pick up ds. after they left, i drank a glass of wine and went to bed (about 11:30) hoping to get a little sleep before things really started happening.
at 1am i woke up to a ctx. i lay in bed for the next hour waking for ctx and dozing in between. i had my back to the clock, so i didn't time them. at 2am i suddenly woke up completely thinking this hurts too much to lay down and i'm HUNGRY. so i got up and ate a snack and watched tv for an hour. during that time i noticed the ctx were certainly stronger and longer, but still 10 min apart. 10 min apart leaves way too much time for thinking. at 3am i figured i might as well go back to bed and try to get some more rest before things really kicked in. i drank a cup of rrl tea and did that.
for the rest of the night i slept fitfully, waking up repeatedly for ctx but then going back to sleep afterwards. woke up for real around 7am, so far this morning the ctx are 15 min apart i'd guess. they're still not real long, 20 sec maybe? but definitely not ignorable. WHAT IS GOING ON????? I want this labor to get going! I can't take this dragging on for days and days.
well, my mw is going to come by and check on me in a couple hours. hopefully a VE will give us a clue as to whats going on.
