what’s in a contraction? 17 March, 2007 at 2:45 pm

a contraction by any other name … is probably shorter, frankly :o

kiir was having contrations yesterday evening, and at 5min apart, >1min apiece, over more than an hour, that’s hitting all the triggers for “go to the hospital”. but we called the midwife first, just to get some feedback on what she thought, figuring 3 weeks early is a tad early

they couldn’t decide on the phone and told us to come in to the hospital for checking. 3-3.5 hours later, buncha walking around “to help the process along” and a few bottles of water, they decided that they still weren’t sure :o definitely contractions, definitely every few minutes, definitely for a healthy duration, but no dilation or any other symptoms. apparently contractions aren’t an identifying symptom, just a generic symptom :o

so we came home, and they’re sitll continuing, so we’re basically just waiting until something changes :o
