It seems to be just being up and moving around helps and for some reason around the time I eat the waves get really close together. I'm definitly trying to stay hydrated. Today seems to be a "rest" day for my body since yesterday was so full of work outs. I'm using the time to get some stuff done and just enjoying feeling my baby move. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08692002093725293884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342247537813392751.post-28213328922893291542009-03-20T11:26:00.000-04:002009-03-20T11:26:00.000-04:00I forgot to say, every time you have a wave, say t...I forgot to say, every time you have a wave, say the word "open" either out loud or in your mind. It can only help!!! I must have moaned that word nice and low and rumbley (that type of sound vibrated the uterus and helps it to dialate the cervix) at least 1000 times during my active labor. It helped keep me relaxed thru all the rushes. :-)Mellissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15057885933772452092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342247537813392751.post-65536775800299169832009-03-20T11:18:00.000-04:002009-03-20T11:18:00.000-04:00Oh yeah! keep up the wonderful line of thinking!

I asked her at my last appointment when she asked me if I wanted to be checked and I excitedly said yes and that she could lie to me and tell me I was already at 5cm if I hadnt progressed yet. I was happy she didnt have to lie, but I still want to reach 4 to 5 cm without really knowing it...that would be so sweet. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08692002093725293884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342247537813392751.post-51623467462417980162009-03-20T09:08:00.000-04:002009-03-20T09:08:00.000-04:00;) He or she will be here before you know it, its...;) He or she will be here before you know it, its just right around the corner. :)<BR/>I like to have as many lesser contractions before as I can. When I finally went into labor with Ryan I was 3 cm and 90% effaced. When my midwife arrived, the contractions where good ones, but not horribly painful yet. She checked me and I was 5cm. So really, I got about halfway there while still feeling fairly comfortable.Abbey Roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12367662106837055391noreply@blogger.com
