OK seriously what is wrong with my body?

I started up with a nice hard labor again yesterday AM and after about 2 hours of it FELL ASLEEP again. WTH? Why do I keep falling asleep when labor gets hard? I'm trying SO SO SO hard to keep up on food and liquids--even getting close to the daily requirement for fluids and getting tons of protein. WHY am I falling asleep just when it gets productive?

I have no answer.

I did that last night as well, but I did it on purpose (terrified of having babies after being awake for 24 hours and then being awake another 24-48 nursing twins!) I was surprised my labor stalled for me, but it did!

Chantel I sure hope it finishes for both of us soon!

I know, me too Christine. Do you sort of feel that "well, I'm only 38 and change so it could be another week or two" versus the "HOLY CRAP I'm so done, get this kid outta me, I can't stand another 10 days" dichotomy?

I had HUGE amounts of plug come out this morning and I can sort of feel it creeping around in there.

Have you been adjusted again lately? I think my stop and start has to do with Claire being breech and not putting as much pressure on my cervix. I wish she'd just engage and get it over with!

soooooooo much! Dh even printed off an official state eviction notice form yesterday.

I was SOOOO sure yesterday would be it. I don't think I even have any more mucus plug left. he's SO low too. I worry about being that lady standing at checkout and the baby slips out.

I did get adjusted again friday (thanks GWB!) and will probably again this week if I need it. So far he's staying away from my spine, but you never know.

I wish I had any idea of why it's start/stopping! he's anterior, head down, +1, dilated, effaced... come on already. I wasn't this until halfway through labor with Noah.

Okay, this is interesting because I thought it was just me and that it meant I wasn't ever really in labor because I've done the same thing like 3 times. But if you guys are really in labor (I have no doubts) maybe I was starting up too? I felt SO ticked when I'd fall asleep because of course, I'd wake up to nothing, despite having gone to sleep to constant, regular, pretty close to painful ctx for several hours on end!
