Apparently my husband has given physical birth to 17 children lol

Haha so I have been having contractions, they are averaging 2 minutes apart. My husband said he doesn't think they can progress that quickly, I went into labor with my first two even thoughbi didn't have natural delivery. Anyway I said oh yeah and how many times have you gone.into labor? He said 17. Lol just had to share that before asking my question.

I'm not dehydrated because for the past two weeks I've drank nothing but water and cranberry juice, I also haven't done anything today!  I don't wanna go to L&D because even though they are consistent they aren't extremely terrible, its getting late and my honey has to work in the morning.
So my question is, any natural ways to stop contractions I can try before going to L&D??

They had to stop labor and told me since I'm 36 weeks now if it happens again don't wait. Looks like Puddle is ready to make an appearance!

I know! Lol he always gets mad that I say "This isn't my first naby!" He thinks I'm rubbing it in his face that I had kids before I met him. He's a 23 yr.old man, I expect nothing less I suppose.

You need to go to the hospital. Ur husband does not feel what u feel and he does not even have the right equipment. LOL. He can not know if ur in labor. Sometimes men r utterly useless.

If they are 2 minutes apart you should be seen! Even if they aren't very painful if they are timetable like that definitely contractions.  Don't you just love men???!!?? Lol good luck

I had a friend who offered to drive from an hour away (probably about 35-45 minutes since there isn't any traffic) and come take me and drive across town another 25(probably about 15 no traffic) and take me to the hospital. I appreciate her but that's ridiculous since he's sitting right here! Maybe I should just say I'm gonna drive myself lol. Just kidding

Trust me at this point I'd love to. He keeps saying he doesn't think they're contractions and I finally just said he doesn't get it. He snapped at me saying GE CANT take me to the hospital cause he HAS to be there for inventory tomorrow, he's a manager and it seems here lately his job is coming before making sure I don't go into labor, since I've had two C-Sections back to back and a third pregnancy in three years they said it could make my uterus rupture. I'm so mad right now. He is so sweet sometimes and other times is a total jerk! If it keeps happening I'm just going to tell him if he doesn't take me I'm going to call an ambulance and let HIM explain why he wouldn't take me.

If they're two minutes apart, you need to go to the hospital now. Unless your honey feels like delivering a baby at home...you should definitely go get checked out.
