We thought we might be going to the hospital last night, but we didn’t. I started having contractions 7-10 minutes apart starting at 5:00pm last night. They continued till about 10:00 and I decided to call my mid wife. She said to take a hot bath, 2 Tylenol and then go lie down and if they still didn’t stop, to come in. After the bath, they went to about 20 minutes apart and then I was able to fall asleep. I only then got up about every hour and was only having one to two every hour until 3:00am hit. I was having them every 5-7 minutes till 4:30. I was starving by this point so I decided to eat some cereal and then I was able to fall back asleep. My wonderful mid wife called me this morning to check on me and told me to come in so she could see if I was in labor. The result…I’m still not dilated, but I am now 50% effaced. (I was just 20% on Tuesday) so things are definitely progressing. I’m exhausted from the long night last night. I have to rest up so when real labor comes, I will be ready.
