Maternity Triage: Round One

Contractions this morning were plentiful long and strong, so we decided to go to triage get her on the monitors. So far the nurse has said 'well, you're definitely having plenty of contractions, and look to be at minus one station, 90% efaced, and 4cm.' We went on a walk and are now waiting to see if her cervix changed.

After looking at the monitor, it's no wonder I sucked at timing contractions....she has two peaks with a valley between them for each contraction! Noone said anything about two headed contractions, so I wasn't considering that as a possibility when she was describing them to me.

Will this just be a dry run? Will we actually manage to do this in one shot? Stay tuned to find out!
