  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Having Labor issues need prayer badly.

I just got home from the hospital, labor started again for me at 1:30am. However, even though I am thinned out even more, and more so after they had me walk for an hour after getting there at 2:30am (I wanted to make sure I was right.) I am still dialated at a 2,though getting closer to 3.

The baby has turned around and is facing the wrong way but they are sure that it will turn again once labor starts and continues to not stop. So, I have been having labor on and off since Friday.

It happens for me in waves, my contractions come on super strong and every 5 minutes for hours then , the contractions are still every 5 they just weaken.
Then they get super huge again. All the stopping and starting is preventing my body from normally dialating. Its not braxton hicks, its not false labor its the real thing. My body just keeps starting and stoping.

I am exhausted but I can't lay down. My options are to sit indian style on the floor, sit on a stool laying my shoulders and head on the bed, walking, squatting, sitting on a stool indian style or have sex WHILE I am having the huge contracting (oh that should be loads of fun...)


They are waiting for me to go into labor and stay by just not being able to take the pain anymore and be dialated, for my bloody show to finally start, or for my water to break.

Thank you for praying!! :hugs:

Praying! ANd you can encourage your baby to rotate by being on hands and knees ...I did this with one of my kids- I scrubbed all the floors (I don't think I have done that since- I usually use a mop). Another means to encourage baby to turn is to do a deep lunge and sort of swivel your hips Elvis-style while you are contracting...or to put one foot up on a step or a step stool and do your hips while you are contracting.

I am sorry that you are unable to rest:hug: It is so overwhelming... give into your feelings- cry, be mad...but also keep remembering that your little one will be here so, so soon!!!!
