Still no baby

Being the nice person that I am, I sum up the only thing you check this site for at the top of the page ;)
The weekend was very frustrating. I had tons of contractions, some even quite uncomfortable and painful. It would last for hours, with me getting all excited and ready to meet this baby.. and then?! NOTHING. They would just leave me as they came. Very cruel, I can tell you.
Another doctor's appointment today... where I might have to fight for my freedom to wait for natural labor to start. The ironic thing is, I feel like natural labor starts and ends every day, only the baby never comes out!
One thing might be beneficial in all this though: by the time I'm in real labor I will be greeting each real, strong, painful contractions with glee instead of fear! Maybe that's nature's way of fooling me through the pain of birth? First drive me insane with promising labor signs, test my patience, confuse me with non-textbook-like behavior and then... BAM! drop a baby on me when I least expect it. (Well, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!)
Please send some patience to northwest Indiana!!!

Just checking in as I was curious if your baby had arrived.

For what it's worth, I had contractions ranging from mild to moderate for almost an entire week before my 2nd dd was born. It was a very easy birth by the way. I really believe that my body was preparing itself slowly, so that when it came down to the actual birth, it was cake. This may be what's happening with you! :o) I also give birth naturally w/ a midwife and went through Bradley classes which helped a lot as well.

Praying you'll have a quick and easy birth!

You're very welcome Dinka.

It wouldn't hurt to pray for St. Gerard's intercession on your behalf. ;o)

I'm glad your doctor turned about to be relaxed about rushing things. Good for her and good for you!

I'm hoping baby is getting ready for a big debut soon!
