She's so pitiful!

Her doc doesn't want her in the hospital, nor does she want to even be in the hospital, until the contractions are regular and 3-5 mins apart for over 1 hour. Maybe that's the way they normally do things around here, but Nicole is starting to wear down. Her CP dystonia is starting to flare back up; her calves are tightened worse than I've seen them in years. When she walks, she's starting to "drag and flop" her feet, which she hasn't done since pre-school! Her contractions are now primarily in her back and moving down her thighs, but seem to be "stuck" in time at 5-7 minutes apart.

So, momma here is about to throw a hissy fit. Right now, I have Nicole soaking in the tub, hoping to loosen her up some. If that doesn't help, we're going to the hospital; and I'm going to get ugly if they don't treat this more holistically.
