0 Weeks 0 Days: Day Two
The baby is still working her way out. When we went to the birth center yesterday, the midwife had us come back home because Krystal wasn't dilated enough. So she told us to just come home and be comfortable. We got a little sleep and went back to the birth center at about 3:30am. Krystal labored there for a while and then we laid down and kind of slept on and off through contractions. Sleeping made the contractions start coming further apart which got Krystal really discouraged, thinking it would take a long time before the baby is born. But the midwife came in and checked Krystal and determined that she is about 4 cm and effacing really well. So the progress is happening but we still had some time so she suggested we go get food (or smoothies) and check on the dogs, maybe take a shower and relax. One, to be more comfortable and two, to pass some time. So we just got home, Krystal is sitting on the couch. She says that the contractions are happen more frequent again. We're going to go back to the birth center at 11:00am.

Walking around will get those contractions coming faster and stronger. Good luck with the birth! Fortunately, I was only in labor 12.5 hours.
ReplyDeletePoppy, Poppy - come on out.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be loved a lot, NO doubt.
You'll have dogs to chase around.
Mom & Dad will act like clowns.
We're all waiting patiently
for your debut, so please feel free
to come on out before night's end
so we can all sleep well again.
