Because their labors began at 2am on Mondays, and pretty much rocked me until they finally came out 14, and then 11.5 hours later. This labor began at 3 on a Tuesday, and has been up and down.
I labored from 2-5:30, then napped until 7. If I keep walking, I have good strong contrax. If I sit down, they're not as strong nor regular... I just took another 30 minute nap. I've been walking around outside with the dogs and the boys and Tom, and not much has happened. I am going to keep at it. These naps are great for getting some rest for the fun stuff to come!
And off I go.

goooooooo team! just now checking in and SOOO excited, janny!! my labor with frida sounds a lot like yours with paloma -- if i stopped moving around, my contrax got a lot more mild and less regular...i was sooo enjoying sitting in the birthing tub, but my midwife had to finally kick me out because i was slowing the whole process down! lol...
ReplyDeleteso the good news is, you and paloma are working together -- she's letting you rest when you choose to, and you know that you can jumpstart it if you want to. can't wait to keep up -- oh, and almost forgot, going up and down stairs was faaaaab for getting some good, strong, regular contrax happening, whoo-whee...!!
xoxoxoxox sending you strength, lovey!! caprice
