  i started having contractions last thursday.  nine mins apart,  but the docs didn't take them seriously.  even when they became 3/ 5 mins apart they acted like i was exagerating the pain when in all reality i was trying not to show much pain since i thought i wasn't REALLY having pain ( all in my head of course lol)
 the thing i tried to explain is that these contractins were stronger than i'd experienced in my first pregnancy when i was dialated 4 cm.  since i was only 1 cm when they checked me,  and the machine didn't pick up the contractions,  they thought all was A-  OK.  anyway (
i know i'm babbling,  but i know you; ll wade thru it all right :  i went in 5 times in three days.  each day feeling more and more stupid for coming in when i was being told my contractions COULDN'T be worse than a menstrual cramp " you're prolly just exhausted and THINK they hurt that much.
 one nurse said.  Ant asked why they were waiting when my due date was so soon.  they said they couldn't do an unschedualed c- section unless it was to prevent a risk to the baby or myself.  blah blah blah I almost din't go in Sat morning because i was sure i would be sent home.  this time however the nurse (
a different one)  said that the contractions might not pick up on the machine because of the baby's postion and the size of my stomache.  she asked ant to press when i felt a contraction coing on.  well guess what?  suddenly all involved realized i WAS'T imagining things after all.  then the situation became serious.
 an hour before a doc said i wasn't dialated at ALL ( wasn't i 1 cm yesterday?  hmmm.  in an hours time,  i was four/ five centimeters and climbing.
 " tonights you're night.  said doc now it as a life/ death situation.  they were afraid my uterus would burst because i was in HARD labor.  to make a LONG story a tad shorter.
