i feel like i cant go another day

[katsmommy]

so i have been in what the drs are calling early labor since wednesday,contractions keep getting to 3 mins apart and then after a few hrs they space out and everyday they are getting stronger..well the dr thinks i may need potocin to make them strong enough to get me to dilate past 3 which he can not give me intill after tomorrow when i am 37 weeks,the problem now is i have done been to l&d so much that i do not want to go back and i am actually feeling something "her"m ove in my pubic area..not in my vagina lol but down low enough to where it is scary and painful as crap,my contractions have picked back up but i know the drs will not let me have her intill after tomorrow or my water breaks or i start dilating, have you ever been to the point to where you just dont know when to go back to l&d? I feel like a big baby myself cause i keep saying i dont want pain meds but sometimes i get to the point to where i feel like i just cant take it anymore..i know bella would be better baking for another 2 to 3 weeks but sometimes i feel liek screaming at people who tell me that lol, they are not waddling around with a baby so low in there croch they cant barely move..well anyways this is just me venting for a min and to kinda give a update lol

I'm not as uncomfortable as you are but I understand. I keep telling my husband there is no way I can do this another 3 weeks. He just smiles lovingly. But really? How in the hell do women go two weeks past their due dates and not kill someone? :)

I have that really low pressure grinding feeling in my pelvis too. It's irritating. I had two episodes of real contractions. I didn't go to the hospital...I just waited it out and they passed. It was on during two very stressful days this ways. So I assumed everything was false labor and I was right. I had swelling for a few days that has me worried but it passed after a couple of days of self induced bed rest. I'm looking forward to little things like laying on my belly, turning over without the assistance of a crane, cooking dinner without contractions, tying my shoes...

Mostly, I can't wait to meet this new person. I keep dreaming of what her or she might  be like :) I know all of this discomfort must mean we are getting very special little humans in return. Hang in there girl!

Vent away! That's what we are here for. I totally understand about being ready to have the baby. I'm having two and am sooooo very uncomfortable and cannot sleep more than 5 hours a night because of my nightly bathroom trips and just tossing and turning. If you had her now she would be completely healthy so tell them to kiss your a** lol  I took a tour of the NICU at our hospital the other day and there were babies born at 28 weeks and were doing great! The bad thing is that she will come when she is ready. Unless the doctors feel there is a reason to be concerned and take her early. I'm sure your getting super close to meeting your precious baby though :)
