edited April 2012 in Labor
Ok this is my second bub but my first was posterior so totally dif labour. I am due to be induced in 3 days but didn't want to be so my ob told me to use castor oil. I took a small dose (am 41weeks) and after going to the toilet 3 times contractions started hardcore. About half an hour later they started to become not so ridiculous and started to feel like the start of normal labour. Its now been 3 houra and they are getting worse very very slowely. I think I have an irritable uterus because when I was in labour with my first, if I moved I would have a contraction. Atm if I move, I'm having one after another. If I stay still there not as strong and every 5 mins. I thought I wld try to sleep to find out if it was false labour or real but I just can't! I'm wide awake and in pain!! I'm still not convinced though.. what do u guys think? Owwww here comes another one! So much pressure in my but, back and my hips feel like there pushing apart and bubs head is pushing on my cervix...

    @homebirthadvocate thank you so much. I was actually thinking of tagging u to ask u lol. Its 3am here and I have had about an hours sleep befor contractions started and every thing I read says get sleep!! But I felt like that would slow everything down so I wasn't sure :s I've walked for about 20mins, had a very long shower sitting and standing, walked around the house, and straddled a chair. I'm now laying down but don't see a point as I can't sleep. She is anterior this time :) so hopefully this doesn't take all day!!

    @mama_kat sore lol!! Still about the same maybe a little stronger. Me and my sis played wii sports for a bit so I was getting a heap of contractions but I'm over the wii now. I just want it to speed up already! Hmm what to do at 4.20am lol?
  • SalasMommySalasMommy
    Hmm? If your playing wii it might be false labor why don't you try going to your doctor first? Maybe she can check.it out?
  • FateFate
    You taking a nap? :)
  • mummy_to_bemummy_to_be
    @salesmommy it started way before wii. I'm in labour, just checked myself (cleanhands dw) and my cervix is almost thin and has dialated more. Reason I did this is because my contractions are 3mins apart and lasting 60 seconds so I know they will tell me to come into hospital. But with my daughter, I went in after 22hrs of 3min contractions and I was 3cms. They were gunna send me home.so I just wanted to check if I progressed. I still think it won't happen untill afternoon (its 6.40am here) but I'm gunna go to my mums soon and wait it out there. It bloody hurts soo much now lol!! Wish me luck ladies!!
    @fate nope couldn't sleep. My contractions are too strong :(

    Good luck. Since ur 41 weeks its most likely the REAL thing. Just be careful how long u wait to go to the hospital. Second labors usually go by faster. Yay for u getting to meet ur baby SOON!! Make sure to update us. :)

  • mummy_to_bemummy_to_be
    @homebirthadvocate, I need some advice. After 9 hours of getting stronger and stronger I headed to the hospital where it stopped and turned into regular braxton hicks lol. So I got checked and she said I was at a 1 which I was 4 days ago. She said my cervix is right up the back and it was almost as long as long as my pinky. (Yeah right!!) I went home and had a nap, still getting a few bh, but I got really upset about it all. So I had a warm shower and checked myself. I did this because in australia, they don't like to intervien in labour. They let u go heaps over and she didn't even wanna give me a membrane sweep! So I didn't believe her and couldn't understand after all those crazy intense contractions that I hadn't progressed at all.
    My findings: I can reach with ease, enough to fit 2 fingers inside my cervix and I sort of felt such an excitement and a bit scared when I felt BABYS HEAD!!! I touched my baby for the first time! I decided not to play around in there after that lol. Jumped out of the shower and told my partner yey!!! If I had someone else do it I would say 3 fingers would fit easily. My cervix is barely the thickness of my pinky aswell..

    WHAT SHOULD I DO??? Walk? Castor oil again? Jump up and down haha? If I go another few cms, labour won't stop will it? I DON'T want to be induce and I'm booked in for 3 days time :( stupid hospital won't do anything to help me along..

    keep checking in with the doctor you should be going in very soon probably today later in the day if not Monday, by the way it sounds. Good luck hun, keep us posted. :X
  • mummy_to_bemummy_to_be
    @aishamusa thanks hun, I hope so! Seriously our docs are hopless. They don't let u in the hospital untill your 5cms and they won't do anything to help it along unless ur over 10days over. Shee said to call back if my labour starts again and I have very strong contractions 5mins apart again.
