Very early labor/ bored bored bored VENT.
I'm due monday and have been having contractions now for about 24
hours, mild, every 10-15 minutes, but have stalled out several times for a couple of hours each And I am SO BORED!!!! With DD this stage only lasted about 12 hours. DD is 23 months, and went to the grandparents last night, and I sent DH back to work this AM since his time off doesn't start til next week and he needed to catch up on things to be able to really take off. Not that I really need anyone here, I have friends and neighbors and everything (in-laws, hospital etc) is within 5 minutes. Plus, like I said, the contractions are very mild so far. I know I should relax and enjoy my last few hours of peace and quite for a while but I am so restless. The in-laws understandably don't want to relinquish DD since they have fun with her, and it makes sense to just let her stay there since she is happy, and we already said our big goodbye and had the big explanation and all that. I miss her, but I don't want to confuse her by bringing her home for just a few hours, then turning around and heading back. I think she kind of understands, she talks about "baby brother" and points out his stuff, like "baby brother seat" "baby brother bed" "baby in tummy," etc..... Sorry, this is kind of a pointless post. JJ |

I guess just now I'd get some cooking done, stews, casserole, stuff you can freeze easily, wash your bedlinen, that kind of thing. Then if by tomorrow morning nothing further has happened get your DD back, probably will act as the sure thing to set you off fully! Good Luck Anne |

Believe me, I know how frustrating this is for you, and I'm sorry to say this, but I wouldn't take it as gospel you're in early labor. I had that sort of thing go on for more than a *week* with #2, and longer still with #3. If I were in your shoes, I'd carry on like I wasn't in labor at all and get everyone off of alert status. It's possible you could be in early labor, but I wouldn't bet the farm. Best wishes, Ericka |
