False labor Sucks
So yesterday I went to the midwife and I was 2+ centimeters dilated and really thinned out.
I’ve been having false labor for most of the day, which means hard contractions but very far apart and not consistant. Tonight it’s been worse and I literally cannot sleep.
I knew better but ate spaghetti anyway at about midnight so now my body ISN’T digesting and instead is churning threatening to rot any food in my stomach. at 3am, Im mentally tired and physically ill.
I called L&D at OHSU and at least I know the waterbirth room isnt taken and they arent packed! Still I wish these contractions would start becoming consistant and things would progress already instead of keeping me in limbo.
For now, Im trying to pretend I’m not pregnant for a little while so I can go back to sleep.
Jay snuck downstairs a good hour ago or so to sleep on the couch- not sure if he wanted to give me more space on the bed of its just cooler down there since I’m a heater… but I am tempted to just disinfect my bathroom until I am sleepy enough to go back to bed.
Here is a great website on information about labor and birthing. It has some wonderful info on false Labor.
