FACTS- All current facts are these: 5-5.5 cm Dilated, 80-85% Effaced, contractions 1-1.5min apart lasting anywhere between 1-2mins long, Station 0 and a bulging water bag (occasionally). He almost broke my water but expected it to happen by that evening, it didn't... that was Monday January Tenth (Through the Twelfth).
Now its Wednesday and I am still pregnant, still contracting regularly, still miserable, no relief, no reprieve just at home. We are waiting for my water to break. I can't do this past 36 weeks. I won't. I am done, frustrated and exhausted. Talking to the doctor tomorrow. We will see what happens then.
I feel your pain! I've had two pregnancies of constant contractions that ended up going full term, 40 and 39 weeks. I'm currently 32 weeks and feeling like I don't know how I will survive 5+ more weeks of solid contractions. The only trick I found is that if you are desperately tired you can ask to sleep in the hospital with a dose of morphine. It saved me both times, there is only so long you can go contracting and not sleeping. Hang in there, you are almost there and your little one still gets great benefit from her time inside as awful as it is. Hugs! -Joy
