I bet she'll get epidural- before 5-6cm. The stuff she has found to be such a dramatic painful experience has made me laugh. When she says she's going drug free but an I.V. terrifies her to the extent that she's phobic. She would of died going through my pregnancies. All 3 babies l had to have a nurse come daily because l had hyperemisis and couldn't even keep sips of water down: Let me tell you when you have lost 18lbs by 4 months preganant and you literally can not eat ,drink, or stand-you become so grateful for IV's because they literally are keeping you and the baby alive.

Kelsey needs to put in her big girl panties and toughen up and quite bitching about minor medical things she has done. Last baby l collapsed all my veins from overuse after months of IV's and l had a PIC line put in that went up my arm all the way to my chest. I WAS AWAKE and watched it be done. All l could think was how grateful l was for the invention of IVs and PIC lines because it was literally keeping us alive. Yes it hurt like hell
to get IV needle restuck and moved every 3 days for months while they dig in my arm searching for veins. I didn't bitch about it. Not once. l just felt lucky to have my precious little peanuts growing in me.... no matter what it took to get them here. Kelsey has some major maturing and growing up to do and she better do it FAST. I don't know how to explain it... they act like this is just a dreamy dress rehearsal for adulthood not THE REAL thing. Nothing like parenting to make you grow the hell up quickly. Parenting always comes with bumps and bends you didn't see coming. Sometimes really tough ones . Not wishing bad things on her, but she needs to get a grip. I am so irritated by them... people with HUGE opinions about labor (before every feeling 1 contraction) and toys being neutral and not getting legitimate medical care for June. I get it's their kid but it's extremely presumptuous to state all your opinions to an audience full of mostly Moms- when you have never actually had a real child. What's the saying... " l used to have a lot of opinions and zero kids. Now l have a lot of kids and ZERO opinion." Lol

I hope for her sake that it's not prodromal labor, that really sucks. I've been experiencing that for a few weeks now (I'm nearly 39 weeks pregnant.) it really plays mind games with you and of course is painful. I guess time will tell.

This. They are so damn opinionated and sassy when actual experienced moms are trying to help her and she thinks she knows better but doesn't have a clue about what it'll be like. It'll be quite the fall from the high horse of theirs...

She also tweeted this

Considering Missy's experience with Finn, I'm guessing either labor isn't progressing or it's prodromal labor.

What time was it when she started labor? With my first, it was about 12 hours start to finish, unmedicated. But it started fast, i couldn't have sat around in bed making videos.

I hope it's prodromal labor for her sake. Even though it sucks it sucks a lot less than an emergency and/or surgery. I had it with all of my pregnancies and it was no fun. Especially with my youngest because they would be 3 min apart for several hours- very strong and painful. Even made me dilate and I was admitted for a few hours until they petered out. I didn't end up having him until almost 2 weeks later.

But judging by their "best friends", they won't grow up. The only reason they might is because they don't have family at their beck and call like Missy and Bryan. So there may be hope for them.
Actually, I think it's good that Corbin is (hopefully) focusing on Kelsey instead of tweeting. But it would be nice, since they're "sharing their lives", if Missy would tweet a real update. She can do it without spoiling the birth vlog or stealing Kelsey's thunder.

I think around 8 pm on Monday, that's when Corbin tweeted he thinks they'll meet June very soon. So it's been around 36 hours, but they haven't updated on whether she's in active labor or at the birth center or anything, so she could still be stuck at contractions 30 mins apart

I was just coming to post the same thing! I did have the thought that maybe she wanted Missy there to be her advocate for a natural birth and put off any drugs, csection etc for as long as possible. Missy went to unnecessary and unsafe lengths to try and have a vbac with Finn so it wouldn't surprise me!

Let us all collectively roll our eyes/chuckle at Corbin insisting Kelsey has been in labor for 45 hours.

If it's been 45 hours she either got an epidural (slows down labor) or wasn't in active labor. Or both.

He must be counting from when she started feeling the cramping, because it was night when she was saying they *might* be contractions and Corbin was tweeting they'll be meeting her soon

Missy is the last person I would want around me when in labor. She has terrible luck in the pregnancy/ labor department. Obviously somethings are out of her control but still.
