Not so much.

I thought I might get to have this baby early!  Not. 

  Monday evening, night and  most of Tuesday I was contracting pretty good.  Some of the contractions were very close together and pretty painful.  The contractions never made a pattern so I didn't go to the hospital.  Also, I knew Tuesday I had an appointment with my OB so I thought I could wait to see what was happening on my non-stress test and he would be checking me.

  During the non-stress test I had three good contractions but no pattern. 
When my OB checked me he noticed the baby had dropped low {which I felt} and I was dilated to a 1.  This is great news! 

But, when you think about it, with all the contracting and pain I was in gave me results of only dilation to a 1 and moved baby down into my pelvis.  I'm thinking that I have a lot more pain ahead of me if I'm to dilate more!

 It seems the more babies I have the longer and harder it takes my body to dilate.  The pre-term labor is so much longer and hurts much more. This is my experience anyway. I guess I'm not a spring chick anymore and my body isn't acting like it either!

 I have a set induction date of  Friday, July 2nd ... that's only 9 days away! 
It would seem that 9 days is around the corner, but to me, a miserable pregnant mommy, it's F O R E V E R and a day away.
