I& #39;m just a little bit in labor
Like nowhere near hospital time but we& #39;ve started
Like they shot the gun for the race and my labor kinda started ambling down the track
So far this is: kind of uncomfortable and mostly boring
The dogs know and they& #39;re kind of annoyed
Contractions feel a LOT like period cramps so I keep forgetting to track that they are happening because my only experience with this sensation is that I just have to ignore it and it& #39;ll stop eventually
I& #39;m all stoically breathing quietly through contractions but lifting my left leg more than a couple inches makes me yell and curse
I& #39;m all *chomp, chomp, pizza chomp, chomp* OOP *breathing.....* PHEW *chomp, chomp chomp*
Dr lady at the hospital: "well the pain should be debilitating"
Me: "oh...fuck maybe not then"
Dr lady: "like you can& #39;t talk through it and have to just breathe"
... Yeah I mean. Yeah. That& #39;s not debilitating... Is it?
Me: "oh...fuck maybe not then"
Dr lady: "like you can& #39;t talk through it and have to just breathe"
... Yeah I mean. Yeah. That& #39;s not debilitating... Is it?
Like debilitating sounds really bad... "Can& #39;t do anything but be in pain" is a whole range of ouches
Anyway we& #39;re going now
Just yelling at other cars "I& #39;m in labor!!!!" when they do something I don& #39;t like. (I& #39;m not driving ofc)
V satisfying

Ofc I dropped to 3 min apart the second we got into the car so wooooooooo
I& #39;m not v dilated but I have 3 min contractions that suck all of the balls so this seems like it& #39;s gonna be a looong evening
Ok no thank you
They gave me morphine so I could get some sleep and I did indeed get some! Yay
Still just... Slowly dilating
Still just... Slowly dilating
Blugh
Taking too long so they& #39;re sending me home.
That is not my favorite thing but that& #39;s what we& #39;re doing.
Adventure continues!

They seem to AGGRESSIVELY not believe me when I talk about these contractions tho
I& #39;ve been awake for most of the last 36 hrs so I keep passing out and dropping into REM for 30 seconds then jerking awake.
Time is very strange right now

Oh they gave me a covid test and I am negative, which is great because it means I got to take my mask off
I would like to let you all know that it blows to breathe through contractions also through a mask
