Well I went into the hospital on thursday morning and we got things started around 9am. things were going good I got to 3 cm and no change after that. I made the choice to turn off the pit and epi at 10:30 pm to let my body rest and we would start things in the morning. Well we got things started today I was in hard labor having contractions every 2 min for about 4 hours. So i was all excited thinking that I had made big progresses. When they checked me I was still 3cm and was not going anyplace. So at that point the docs and I amde the tough choice to turn off the epi and the pit and let labor stop and I could go home and come back on Monday if I hhave nto gone into labor on my own over the weekend.

It sucks that we were sent home nut the did not break my water so it is safe. I am going for a long walk tomarrow to see if I can help things along a bit.
I will keep you all up to date to let you know how things go.

Why, that little stinkah!

Glad you're okay, Turt, take that walk, have some pickles and get some rest, she obviously has some unfinished business.

Thanks for the update, Turt. Guess your little belly bun is not finished baking.

Obviously she wants to stick to her OWN time schedule!

Oh you poor thing! I recall those last few days... I hope Amie will make her grand arrival soon!

[SallyC]

I hope she isn't going to be stubborn all her life..

Walk, Walk, Walk........Breath, Breath, Breath..

I remember begging mine to come out! Tell your doc to take a trip. Mine was supposed to induce me after his weekend out of town. he boarded the plane at 8:05 that morning and at 8:30 i was in labor.... Granted, it took 47 hours and a vacuum suction, but she finally came out!

She likes it in there with all the warmth and comfort. LOL Put some ice on your belly and blare some Gwar. She'll come out.

Oh YUCK! at being in hard labor and then being told to go home!!!

Never having gone through it myself, but having watched many deliveries, I would have reached over and squeezed the doc in some strategic place and said very quietly through my teeth..."get this kid OUT OF ME!!!!

We will be waiting patiently!

Oh you should have heard me snarl at my doctor for our youngest son's delivery. She was wasting time yacking and I was holding back delivery.

sorry sue.
you must be disappointed.
and you've been so uncomfortable.

i hope monday brings amie out.
c'mon amie! your family wants to cuddle you.

Me thinks you've made things so warm and cumffy in there that your little darling doesn't want to come out just yet!

I must admit I didn't go through what you're going through. I only gave birth to the one live baby, and she was 3 weeks early and with just a 4 hour labour.

Doesn't mean I don't commisserate though......
