Okay.... I think I may be going into labor.... haha Tuesday night around 9:00 I started having low back pain and period like cramping, but I wasn't having any real contractions. SO, I tossed and turned all night and then Wednesday morning I called the dr who then sent me to the hospital to get checked out. When I first got to the hospital they took a urine sample, hooked me up to all these monitors and did an internal. They said I had protein in my urine, but my bp was ok. And they said that I was at least 4 cm dilated. That was around noon. They said they would be back in to check me at three. So, I laid there... still crampy but still NO CONTRACTIONS. Baby's heartbeat sounded good and my bp stayed good too. At three they came in and did another urine and another internal. This time, the internal showed I was 4+ cm, 90% effaced, -2 station and they said my "bag was bulging". The dr brought in another dr to make sure she was right and the second dr confirmed it. The 2nd dr also said that if it were up to her, she would either just break it for me to get it started or at least keep me there until it broke on its on but she had to clear it with my actual dr. Well, my actual dr said for me to go home and to take tylenol for the pain. sigh Today I feel even more crampy and miserable.... but still NO CONTRACTIONS. Is it normal to feel this way??? It sucks so bad. I cant find relief no matter what position I get in. Advice please.... and sorry for the long story!!
