Beware the Ides of March

Well, contractions have continued, gotten stronger, to the point where we headed into the hospital about 3 a.m. We were put on the monitors and I was examined to find out we have made little to no progress since the doctor's office despite hours of what I felt were stronger contractions. I was monitored for an hour and then sent home, them saying there is nothing that can be done unless we want to induce.

We got home around 5 and I was able to get to sleep for a bit (not sure when). Contractions are still here, but maybe not as regular, I'm not sure, we've stopped timing them for now.

So, my current plan is to rest as much as possible and try to stay as comfortable as possible. Get out and take a few walks and continue to encourage this little one to come and play.

This prelabor business can drive you a little nuts (been there). But rest assured that even if you haven't dialated further, there is progress being made in some manner! Perhaps Roo is descending a bit or your pelvis is psreading a bit more...

Many hugs and thank you for the update. You are often in our thoughts!!!
