Fianna
says
they're about 10 minutes apart and totally manageable so far.
uh oh - they're regular?
umm ... yeah. Water and lying on your side!
Fianna
says

Fianna

Fianna
says
Earliest.
At what point will you make the call? An hour of contractions? Two? Five?
Fianna
says
The standard for going to the hospital is, I think, 5 minutes between. We went to the birth center around 3 minutes apart and I wasn't
Fianna
says
Able to talk through them.
I'll be praying that they stop.
me too
Fianna
says
They seem to be petering out. Thank God.
Oh, good!
They always told me to take a hot bath. If it's false, they'll quit. If it's real, it'll speed things up.
YAY!!!!

Fianna
says
Can't take a bath with a napping kid. Stupid work trip. I am so mad he's not here! All is fun and games until someone goes into labor!

mcknikki

Fianna
says
About 30 seconds.
Fianna
says

Fianna
says
Once hubby is home I can relax. I am freaking until then!! Poor guy is a mess.
freaking will make it worse, I know easier said than done but try not to freak too much!!!

Fianna
says
