Hello, Well to be honest I didn't believe I would have even write this post. 39 Weeks. I have been in "Labor" off and on since last Thursday night. So a Week of being in this state. I am thankful though that they are not super painful contractions...but at the same time wish it would just turn into full blow labor soon. Like last week I am going to just write a little update for each day, that way I know what happened and how long I was in labor for each day etc.... Friday (39 Weeks)- The contractions pretty much stopped. (Last night was crazy and I thought I would go into full blow labor for sure...I thought this morning would have been the day I got to hold my sweet little man for the first time) Nope! So today was a tough day. I was exhausted from staying up until 5:30 this morning and it was just a day that I felt frustrated after being in labor for 9 hours and nothing happening in the end. It was a tough day :( So pretty much all of Friday I just lounged around in Pjs and hung out with the Family, helped my Mom clean up the house a bit and get ready for the BBQ at my In-Laws (So all in all it was a day of rest...well needed rest) Saturday (39 Weeks 1 Day)- No contractions throughout the whole day. Just spent the day relaxing and spending time with the Family. Even had a mini date for coffee with Jayden since he leaves tomorrow for 2 Weeks. The evening consisted of crazy contractions, but totally all over the place and very inconsistent. Jayden and I went for a walk at about 3 in the morning to see if we can get them closer together. By 5:30 am I had my last contraction at 7 minutes from the previous one and decided to call it quits and go to sleep (was happy I was able to fall asleep) I don't know what is going on at this point...this is frustrating. Sunday (39 Weeks 2 Days)- Well today I learned that I have been having something called Prodromal Labor...which is basically false labor in a nut shell. It says that it is very inconsistent usually occurring when you are close to your due date. I talked to a Mama today about how she had it...she said she had it for 6 Weeks before delivering. I can't even imagine that. Tonight my goal is to get some well needed rest. I am gonna try my best to just ignore these fake contractions and save all my energy for the real deal. My Mom cleaned my house today and so did my siblings as I just rested up after last nights freak show. Contractions were very mild off and on today. I am going to bed at 11:30pm with no sign of contractions...I am sure when the real thing happens I won't be able to fall asleep or stay sleeping. Also Jayden left today to Rock Camp, so we are hoping Baby will stay content in there until the weekend now. Tuesday (39 Weeks 4 Days)- Yesterday there was absolutely no sign of labor! Maybe a few contractions throughout the whole day! However once 3am Tuesday morning rolled around I finally woke up from getting a few painful contractions in my sleep...so this is when I finally woke up! They were only about 6 mins apart! So I finally decided when they started to be more like 8 mins apart that I would go run a warm bath and see if I can stop them! While running the bath and getting in they then moved to 4-6 mins apart! I am going to just end here because this is where my Birth Story starts...here is the link if you want to check that out too!
