So I lost my mucous plug Thursday morning. I've been having mild contractions since like Monday nothing consistent or real strong. Last night I got into a bad argument with bd and since early this morn about 8am they were consistent every 30 mins for couple hrs then down to 15-20mins for another couple hrs. I'm thinking its all because I was upset from the argument . Now at almost 3pm contractions have slowed down. I'm trying to get some rest now just left Walmart. Guess I should probably go into l&d if they get consistent and close again for a couple hrs??? What u guys think? I'll be 37wks Monday.

    Ok so my friend who was a high risk preggo twice, told me if u hadn't eaten or are dehydrated that can cause em too!! Well I I was so upset last night that I didn't eat at all. So the last time I ate or drank was around 1pm yesterday until this morn. After breakfast this morn they let up some. I'm eating again now! I know I was supposed to eat, but I was so upset with bd I wasn't even hungry! :-( I don't plan on letting him taking to that point anymore!!! I had just found out some things that really hurt me!!! Contractions are about 1-2x in an hr now. I really think it was the stress along with my dumb butt not eating or drinking anything that brought them on so strongly. Maybe I will still have baby within week or so. Idk

  • mommyof3tobemommyof3tobe
    @ittybitty yeah I called my hospital lastnight and they said try and wait til their 5mins apart too. They've been 10-12 mins apart for hours now. I haven't had one about 20mins now and it about 7:20...they definitely have gotten more intense but their not staying consistent. Huhh this is sooo irritating! ! How many weeks are u?? I think I'm 37 today!

  • MommytoJulianWMommytoJulianW
    Its always better to be safe than sorry
  • mommyof3tobemommyof3tobe
    Yeah especially since I've had the two csections I'm gonna go in so they can check me my scar tissue and see how far in dilated. These contractions are so inconsistent though, I kinda just wana stay at home. Haven't had one now for 30 mins. After I got out of the bed they stopped, well for 30mins they have anyways.
  • MommytoJulianWMommytoJulianW
    Any updates

    Well didnt go in. When I got out of bed contractions let up significantly! Now there ranging from like 15-40mins apart, so I will just wait til their more intense and staying closer together. I already know since my water hasn't broken and contractions are irregular that they'll just send me home. Soo baby probably won't be here for a couple more days. @youngmami3 :-)
  • MommytoJulianWMommytoJulianW
    Thats good but I know he gave u a little scare I guess he wants to hang in a little longer for you.
  • mommyof3tobemommyof3tobe
    @youngmami3 girl I guess. Tmi but when I just used the bathroom I had a lil bloody discharge. So slowly but surely.
  • MommytoJulianWMommytoJulianW

  • mommyof3tobemommyof3tobe
    So I called my doc yesterday (9/05) and she had me go in to get checked, well they kept me since I was contracting and was dilated 2-3. I progressed well. I was admitted at 2pm and gave birth at 3:30am. Pushed for 20mins. I had no tears needed no stitches! :-) I did really great for my first vaginal birth! And btw the pain omg was OOC! !! But so glad it didn't last longer! Wheww prayer works wonders you guys! !! @homebirthadvocate thanks again for all the encouraging words and advice/info!! Ppl kept trying to discourage me from doing my vbac but I was determined, and stood my ground! ! My doc even admitted to not wanting me to do it, but she was proud of me in the end!! :-)
