| Topic: getting depressed about my labor... | |

      i've been having spareatic contractions and am dialated to 3 cm. But now i'm stuck there. I am 3 weeks off from my due date, but it's becoming depressing. Active labor doesn't start till 4 cm and i could be stuck like this for up to 2 weeks. Sigh. I'm going crazy and in pain.

      Maybe you should try and see a doctor or something? 
 
  Try and be positive in any case......you'll get through this.

It is said castor oil can help too to induce labor.  |

     I suppose you would know better than me, having gone through this before lol. lol :D I would say just try to make yourself as comfortable as possible. The way you sit, or the way you lay down, how many pillows you sleep on, etc.  |

      Try eating cantalope! it has worked really good to bring on babys that are ready, and does not affect  anything if the baby is not,
 
  Best Of Luck !

      Hang in their.  I know its hard but try focusing on other things besides your labor. Making sure the little ones room is ready. Rent a couple of your favorite movies and invite a few friends over to distract you for a couple of hours. Get as much rest as you can you will need it for the big day. Best of luck. :)

      still no baby. No, my water hasn't broke either. I went back to the hospital today becaue my contractions became 3 min apart and alot harder, but i'm still only dialated at 3 cm and not progressing. So i'm back at home, still miserable.

      Try to walk- put on a favorite funny movie or your favorite music,
 
  anything to entertain and soothe yourself a little bit.... It will pass... and soon your beautiful baby will be here.
