Previous: Welcome to the longest week of my life

Just got off the phone with the doc’s office

I had called and left a message with the nurse regarding what I wrote about in my last entry.

I explained how I felt and she said yes it was contractions. She explained to me how she wants me to time them, from the start of one to the start of the next… I think they are somewhere between 20 and 40 minutes right now. I need to find a watch… I don’t own one.

She told me when they get to be around 12 -8 minutes apart to call the office. If Dr does not call back in 30 minutes to call the office again as the service sometimes transposes the telephone number. If I have a rapid change to get to the L&D of the hospital and they will hook me up to the monitors to see what is going on and they will get a hold of the doctor.

She said the nausea, bathroom running and such were all good signs.

So if the contractions are about 40 minutes apart – I wonder how long until they reach 12 minutes?

Second entry for today

Eek!

OMG! OMG!! OMG!!!

I was having contractions for 2 days before my water broke and i never knew it. they didnt hurt me at all.

It may not be that long of a week after all?!!! Sending you “good vibes”… 🙂

Cool! Come on Autumn!! We wanna meet you! *hugs*

Exciting! I’m no expert (yet), but I’ve heard you can have that sort of thing happening off and on for a week or two before you’re due. Still exciting though! Keep us updated!

How exciting!! 🙂 It could be a long time, but it could just be around the corner!! YAY! 🙂

Woo! Maybe she’ll be here sooner than we think! I’m not really convinced that contractions mean didly squat. With my brother, my mom had contractions 5 minutes apart for 17 HOURS that never got any stronger, and they wanted to send her home from hospital because they figured they must just be BH’s since they weren’t getting stronger. Yeh… a hour later, my brother was born!

oh oh, could it be… ohh good luck! soooo close

They may just stop. You could have alot of false labor before the real thing starts. I must of missed out on something. I thought you were having your c-section on May 5th. I am predicting you will have your baby that day anyway. We should have a contest on the date, time, weight, length and well I guess we know the sex. LOL SEe who is the closest. Just an idea.

my guess would be: 05/05/04 8lbs 8 oz. 19.5″ long 5:05 p.m.

that’s so exciting!!!

It took me a few days to go from 20-8 min apart… go take a long walk to speed them up!!!

40 minutes apart? That could last for days and days… I suggest you don’t go to the hospital until they are less than 5 minutes apart and making you very uncomfortable. If you go too early, they will do so many things to try and rush you along, which will increase the chances of complications.
