Early Labor
That's right, I'm in early labor! And I'm at home blogging!! We went to the hospital last night about 8 b/c my contractions were pretty bad and I was having really severe right belly pain. As it turns out, the right belly pain was contractions. Taylor's just hanging out on my right side, making the pain worse on that side. My contractions stayed between 1 to 4 minutes apart. Some of them were really big (between 70 and 90 on a scale of 100)! The problem is, I can't get past 2 cm dilated. The nurse said it is early labor, but that could last hours, even DAYS!!! The on call doctor had the nurse give me some Vicodin, then sent me on home after 5 hours, since I hadn't dilated any more. The Vicodin helped me to sleep about three hours, but that's it(and they didn't send me home with any extra pain meds). Unfortunately, the contractions haven't picked up in intensity or frequency, so I'm just at home waiting. Maybe I'll take a walk here pretty soon before it rains too much and see if that helps. I've started having back labor, which is no fun. The only thing that keeps me going is the fact that I'm going to get to hold my little girl very soon. I can't believe it!!! If you will, say a little prayer for us. I've been selfishly praying that she decides to make an appearance today.
