Sigh, still the same. We got ice cream and walked and back home now. Still 8 mins apart lasting 30 secs. This sucks. Waiting for the in call nurse to call me back now just to check if I should be doing anything. This is going to be a rough night if nothing changes.
Also, whoever recommended the Full Term app for timing contractions, thx! It is awesome. Good kick counter too. And it's free!
I'm in hell contractions are still 8 mins apart and they hurt so much. I barely slept last night, they woke me up at 4 am and won't stop. But they aren't strong enough to go in. It's been going on for over 24 hours now. I have an US, NSt and then dr visit today. I'm hoping they admit me. If they send me home I'll cry.

Oh noodleoo I'm sorry you're in pain. I hope they get closer together soon and you're able to get admitted. I have to say though, as much as it sucks I wish I had labored longer at home because I ended up with such a long haul confined to a hospital bed. Living far from the hospital and rush hour (and an overly nervous mother) kind of forced me there a little sooner than I needed. Take another bath, and have your H keep the back rubs coming (and if he's not being sympathetic/supportive now, no jury will convict you if you kill him). And don't forget to eat, you need the energy and if you do get an Epi later the no eating part sucks. What time is your appointment?
noodleoo - I would 100% bawl my eyes out if they didn't admit after all this! FX for you that you're one of those people with contractions that are further apart but really productive.
Thanks guys! Being monitored now. U.S. And NST were all good, which is good news. Baby is a little too comfy in here though! Seeing the dr at 1 pm. Curious to see what my cervical check says. Last week I was 2 cm 90% effaced. I have a feeling I might be going home though. Sigh.
