Arrived at hospital ~30 min later at 7cm (where I of course plateaued for several hours but that's another story). I think the c(x)s were 3 min apart, and my water had broken 5 hrs earlier. I can totally relate to wanting to know how long it will take - I HATE surprises, especially painful ones!! I cannot remember how I would best describe contractions - I think I've blocked it, and simply have a big sign over it in my memory that says "RESPECT THIS. IT HURT LIKE HELL."Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14037359962224075856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-64236504115814687112010-07-15T17:46:30.678-04:002010-07-15T17:46:30.678-04:00sending good luck baby vibes your way! i hope its ...sending good luck baby vibes your way! i hope its the day!!!! fingers crossed!!!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11825097650104995097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-76149156608903573662010-07-15T14:10:15.204-04:002010-07-15T14:10:15.204-04:00Hope it's all going well!!!

I went to 3 min apart after about 5 hours and stayed there with ever increasing intensity throughout! mine wasn't a great example though! Hope you get your epidural soon.

Nothing in front. My contractions never were the exact numbers my midwife said they sould be, so my hubby was reluctant to go to the hospital, but I insisted. What kind of guy ignores when his labouring wife says HOSPITAL NOW!!!!!!!!? When we finally got there, I was dilated to a 9.
