I had a weird blood clot last night, and Jeff took me in to the hospital this morning. There we were informed that I'm 5 cm dilated and "pretty much ready to go" in the early stages of labor. So, here I sit in the hospital bed, still 5 cm dilated, bored out of my tree as we wait oh so patiently for something to happen. My contractions have intensified but my dilation has not increased. We fear pitocin or worse, an emergency c-section to keep lucy safe. Obviously a healthy baby is best, but I'm afraid of surgery and would really prefer my 1st baby to be born naturally.
How am I feeling right now? Tired, for one thing. I barely slept last night and I'm not sleeping today. And more nauseated than contracting at the moment, which is ticking me off. I would like progress, one way or another. And a nap, and possibly a warm bath.
Bleh. I will keep you informed.
