Updated - :) "non forever labour"  

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
Alrighty so I've be labouring pretty much since 4 am... tapered off when DH went to work and picked up huge when he got home... but it's still around 5 mins and feeling like it's not doing much... My midwife has already made plans for a homevisit on THURSDAY if I don't call her around then :

Dh has been awesome tho. Cleaned the house and has been doing everything I ask Walking around the house makes the stronger but still doesn't feel like much...

I think I'm gonna be stuck here awhile. Hopefully not

Update!

There was no mistaking it was labour! But it just wouldn't "increase" about an hour after writing tho it got a bit harder and by 1130 I was in the bathtub... Called the midwife at 2 and I thought I was being silly. She showed up at 3 and I was a "4, no wait 5" and an hour later I was "8" and ten minutes later I was in the birthpool and pushing.

Our second baby girl was born around 5:15 (noone really knows ) July 23 at home and in the water!

I can't wait to update with a full story and a full name! She was 9lbs3oz and her big sister has taken wonderfully to her!

It's so annoying, isn't it? People asked me how long I was in labour, and I have been saying, "Two weeks." It really was two weeks, I don't care that that the first 10-11 days did almost nothing for my cervix. But then again, poor Spark had three months of labour, so I can't complain too much. I hope it turns into the real real thing for you soon.
