So, Friday I went to my 38week OB appt. Dr started pelvic exams (yay! not.) and said I was about 4cm dilated & 60% effaced. Woo! So she said I could probably have the baby this weekend!
My contractions got closer and closer together as Friday night went on, started timing them @ 6pm (8-10 mins apart) and about about 1am we went to the hospital because they were 3 minutes apart for a about an hour. Got to 2 mins apart/running into one another, got into the hospital bed and they just STOPPED. They weren't really that painful (but I've had kidney stones & pitocin contrax, so my pain tolerance level isn't the same as a lot of people) & the nurse said "you don't look like someone in labor...".
The nurse was the same nurse I had when I was pregnant with Seamus and went in for kidney stones @ 8 months pregnant and she sent me home w/ a diag. of "flank pain." I later passed a stone the size of a large pea. Flank pain, eh?! >:(
This time? She said ALL of the contractions I'd been having were "just the baby moving."
UH, NO. She's an idiot and I'm going to be writing a seriously nasty letter about her to her superiors. Bleh.
So... I went home (after she tried to force me to stay there and walk the halls for an hour) and here I am. Have had sporadic contractions, but nothing regular yet. Guess it was just my body practicing for the real thing? hah
So... it's the waiting game now. I've lost a LOT of my mucus plug (I'm sure there's barely anything left of it), Finn has moved down a bit (was a -2 stage @ the hospital, no idea where he's at now, but not too much more than that I don't think).
Hopefully this'll happen soon!!!
