1:05am...
Just texted the midwife. Contractions since 8:30pm. No epson salt bath helped, sleep on left side didn't help, and my uterus barely relaxes when the contraction dies down. She suggested dehydration. No way, I drink all day long and pee about every 20-30 minutes. She suggested sleeping. I just left the bedroom because I would fall asleep and get woken up immediately from the pain. Andrew missed work yesterday so he can help me with a sick Hayden, and I don't want him to miss work today too. He has to be up at 5:30. I think I'm just going to send him, and if he has to come back, he's not that far away.
I wish something else besides contractions would happen, or they would go away. I have NO idea if this is real labor. I would think by now my water would have broken, or my mucus plug would come out.. or something other than pain. Right now they only last about 30 seconds and they are anywhere from 2-4 min apart. The fact that they aren't getting stronger, and they aren't longer than that, means I'm not in active labor, but who knows if it will go into active labor, or go away and be a 'false' labor. I'm so tired.. I'm going to try and sleep again.. this time on the couch.
