I may not need to be induced after all! Yesterday evening around 6:00pm I started getting contractions (ouch!) and since then they haven't let up. I somehow was able to sleep a little throughout the night, but when I woke up, they were even more intense (ouch, ouch!) and closer together (about 6 minutes.) I also finally lost my...well, I won't say the actual term for fear of grossing anyone out, but let's call it "Lucas Doug," which is at least a step in the right direction!
I've showered, packed, and am now just riding these darn things out until they are 5 minutes apart, lasting 1 minute, for 1 hour. 5-1-1, that's the magic formula!
So, either way, on our own or with some help from Pitocin, Elliott will be here soooooooon!
Hope it is the real thing! Good luck! :)
