I've felt off all day. I slept terribly last night and tossed and turned from 2 until my alarm went off at 6:30. My neck and shoulders are so sore. I took a Tylenol and it's not even touching it. I just want to go home and sleep but I'm not off until 8.

Well. At eighteen hours of early labor, thirteen of contractions 5 minutes apart mostly except a slow hour here or there, I’m feeling... discouraged.
Prodromal labor can really effing suck it.

I'm sorry ovenrack. Hopefully it'll progress faster for you soon. Are you still at home or l&d?

I’m still at home.
I need a pep talk or something. Baby is still moving around and contractions are coming a bit. I’m laying down.
This is just what my labor is, yes? It’ll be fine. I won’t die of exhaustion. Right?!

I won’t die of exhaustion. Right?! This was me with DD from Monday afternoon until my water broke late Tuesday night. I definitely didnt die but I was REAL thankful for my epidural and the nap I took immediately after it was placed. I’m really really sorry. It sucks to be in a lot of pain AND exhausted AND feel like you’re not making any progress. Trust though - you are. I was only a 3 or so when my water broke but Progressed super quickly and she was born soon after. You’ve got this!

I mean. I was in labor for 33 hours with H. I should know better. Obviously. I just really expected my body would know better this time? M only took 8 hours. Stupid, stupid.

Can some one please get this baby to remove itself from my right side? It only likes that side and I’m 99.9% sure my stomach is going to be deformed/severely uneven after this. It hurts so so much.
I hope I can keepnky shit together at the OB tomorrow. My anxiety is sky high and I’m just a mess. Poor DH. I think he’s the only one more excited for this baby to exit my body than me 😂😂😂

Am I the only one that's ok about having an inside baby ?! I'm freaking right out at the thought of having a baby any day. Totally wouldn't mind going past my due date. You are me. I’m way more uncomfortable this time but I’M NOT READY and I think sweetc129 and I have the same due date.

I have weeks of prodromal labor... and it effing sucks. Drink some wine, go for a walk and see if that stops things. If not then.... pray your water breaks so baby can be evicted

The NICU doctor just called and said L is doing well. She doesn’t think anything major is wrong just that he is having a bit of a slow start. It sounds like he will be observed tonight and hopefully he can go home tomorrow. I am ready for DS1 to meet him and for our family to be together. Thanks for the T’s and P’s. This is such wonderful news!! ❤️

You’re not giving me much hope here, as a fellow long labor momma. I really hope it doesn’t take so long for you this time.

I got a cold yesterday.
Tonight my ear really randomly got clogged and I couldn't hear. Now it's throbbing and I have a ringing in my ear.
I've taken Tylenol but can't fall asleep. I also took unisom before it started hurting so now I feel all out of it.
I haven't had ear problems like this in years. But of course in this pregnancy it happens.
We're supposed to get a bunch of snow tomorrow so I'm hoping I can into the Dr before it gets bad because I'm guessing it's infected.
Ugh

I hope all the new squished are doing well and y’all got at least a little rest!!! woodenshoes any updates from the NICU? yianna MOTN Charlie horses are horrible. I used to have to eat a banana everyday before bed to prevent them. Maybe do the same (yay potassium!) and do some light stretches?

Leaf 🌱 we saw L last night and he is doing well. His heart rate has been good. They were running some labs last night and again this morning. We will be going there sometime this morning. Hoping we can take him home today. I am just letting DH sleep. I’ve been up for awhile, but should’ve been sleeping...insomnia/anxiety. During my insomnia I made a comparison pic collage of DS1 (L1) and DS2 (L2) to see how similar they look. DS1 is on the left and DS2 is on the right. They definitely look alike.

ovenrack I am sorry for the long annoying "labor." I hope your body gives you a break or you have this baby soon. Rama add me to the list of people thinking of you. I hope all is well. cornpop an ear infection sounds awful right now. I hope you can be seen by a Dr ASAP.

yianna a girl on my last BMB told me about a trick for charley horses- you’re supposed to get out of bed and stand on your feet as quickly as you can (lol). I’ve done it a few times and it works for me, instant relief!

I've had enough with this carpal tunnel, especially at night. Not much sleep for me and a lot of pain. I'm done and over it.
We finally bought a bigger vehicle yesterday after months of looking. We pick it up Friday. I'm so relieved to have this marked off of our list before baby comes.
