*sigh*
I'm feeling very bad for Sandra.... She had an amazing little machine called a TENS that sent electronic pulsey-shock things that blocked the pain of the contractions... it has shorted out... now she has morphine. lol
It's been something like 20 hours of contractions 5 to 2 minutes apart.. and last update, they'd FINALLY checked her.. and she's effacing, but it sounds like she isn't dilating much yet.
Hang in there girl! This is the reason there are so many of us poor, lonely only children in the world.
Love ya!
Ohhh-- when I told Burp her water broke... he panicked.... concerned because they were at the hospital. When I explained to him what the term meant and the process and all -he gave a HUGE sigh of relief... Then explained that he's thought their pipes had burst at home and was concerned because they weren't there to do anything about it. lol

That is the cutest freaking thing I have EVER heard. Don't feel too bad for me though, I'm feeling pretty relaxed and stress-free about all of this. Yay drugs and non-drug pain relief! This is what I wanted...so far..(yes, I know...SO FAR), the experience has been a very pleasant one for me. (Except for the feeling of leaking amniotic fluid. Ewewewewewewewewewewewewew.)
This maybe TMI..... but.. even though I didn't have vagina birth.. ever since I had Burp, tampons don't seem to sit right and if they get in the perfect position it must put pressure on my urethra or something and the result is very similar to the very slow trickle of leaking amniotic fluid. Uggggg I know...
So one time when Burp was about 3, we'd gone to the store and I'd done a huge grocery shop and by the time we got to the car, Burp was done cooperating. My tampon had gotten into the "perfect" position and in a matter of minutes I looked like I had just out and out pissed myself. He wouldn't get into his car seat and was gleefully making me chase him around the car.... which made me .......psychotic.
I could feel my situation getting more and more dire as he got more and more uncooperative. Soon I was screaming at him to get into his DAMNED CAR SEAT.... at which point... some nice do-gooder stopped and asked if I needed help and went on to say that sometimes mom's just needed a break to walk away... and that she would stand by the car if I wanted to walk it off...
Walking anywhere but into my bathroom was the last thing I wanted to do... and I screamed at her to mind her own fucking business and finally grabbed Burp and buckled him in and tore out of there before she could call the cops on the psychotic child-abusing mother in the store parking lot.
Sorry.... your leaking just reminded me of this.... one of my most horrible experiences EVER!!!!
I really did mean to say "vaginaL birth"
lol
Actually, I've always had that reaction to tampons - so I know what you mean. I find it really irritating...but I find pads way less pleasant anyway... And THIS will also be TMI but thankfully my periods are usually so light that 90% of the period I just "free bleed" where I don't use tampons or pads. I just don't bleed enough to need anything to catch it...you've seen how often I pee.
I've heard that story about the mom who saw you homicidal at the car and I ALWAYS remember thinking, "Who did that uppity bitch think she was?!" It wasn't until I got pregnant, developed slightly more tolerance for kids and ...I don't know, just grew up a little more that I slowly came to understand her. She was kind of right...and fairly thoughtful...
Obviously though, she didn't understand the situation...though I'm sure as a mother herself, if you'd explained it to her, she probably would have just laughed and hugged you.
Probably... and I KNOW she was being thoughtful and trying to be helpful... but I was not being rational... I was mortified, frustrated, and well..... psychotic...
lol.... at least I wasn't beating him... just screaming... to which he was giggling hysterically... just pissing me off more..
