Labor Journey....heere I go!

[Ashelen]

So like I said I'm planning to live-post the experience for my high school friends' sake, and I told anyone who was interested that I would do it here too....so I guess now's the best time to start!!! I guess I'll have to use comments to update...hadn't quite figured that one out yet and now I'm too confuzzled to think, lol.

Came to the hospital last night at about 4PM...already 5CM dilated and completely effaced...having sporadic contractions, a couple REALLY bad ones last night...mostly suffering from hormonal migraines.

7/14/2010 - Wednesday
4:45AM: Woke up with a bad case of anxiety and the shakes...had to pee somethin' awful, lol. Quite nauseous...definitely feeling the earliest stages of labor creep up on me right now. (TMI alert:) Lots of mucus in the toilet paper.... I'm not cold at all, in fact the room is quite toasty, but I can't quit shaking. Discovered that my anxiety about IVs is a little ridiculous...need to get over that whole "air in the tube" thing. (I freak out when there's even 1 little bubble, even though it would take lengths of tubing full of air to cause a problem). Gonna ask for one last thing for my headache before they start the pitocin drip within the next few hours...hoping to snatch a little more sleep before the big contractions start, but as anxious as I'm feeling I'm not counting on it! Will update when something changes...wish me luck, ladies.
