You're in the home stretch! For weeks 28 through 40-plus, we are talking ... more
Contractions woke me up at 3am on Thursday, but I wasn't sure if it was time, or if it was just a bad bout of "false labor." DH and I walked and killed time until about 9:30am, then decided to head to the hossy. I was admitted right away - 6cm already! Unfortunately, things slowed to a crawl after that. I was barely at 7cm by 4pm so they decided to break my water to try and move things along before resorting to Pitocin. By 5:30pm, I was trying not to push with my stronger contrax, so they checked again and lo and behold, 10cm! An hour later, my baby girl was finally here!
Best of luck to all of you still waiting on your LOs' debuts! Thank you for all your support over the last 9 months.
