I Am Not a Complete Failure!

July 9th, 2007

2 cm dilated and 70% effaced. Hoh yeah! I know it’s not a huge improvement but it’s something, and that is really all that matters.

She stripped my membranes and I had contractions for about an hour afterwards. Then I went on a 30 minute walk, which is supposed to keep contractions going. Make them stronger, even. It didn’t. In fact, it made them stop entirely.

I think my body is officially a rebel.

    Yay you’re almost there!! Cristina was 3cm dialated Friday morning and she went into labor the next day at 6am. So you might do the same!! Aww I really hope he comes soon!

    A friend told me that the same thing happened to her–walking stopping contractions–so I didn’t do it! How weird, eh? Still, you’re making progress :)

    This happened with me too. The stopping crap, it’s like a uterine tease… evil but I am almost sure Benny is on his way and I couldn’t be more excited!!!
