!!!!LABOR STORY!!!! Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger. They came and went, but felt stronger with each hour. Didn't sleep that whole night! I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions. The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-15 mins, but the new City Target had opened across the st from my MiL house in Fenway, (go Red Sox! ⚾ ) and I had to coupon (it is a big coupon week!) so, I went to Target and couponed, hurled over in pain every 10 minutes, coupons in hand 😂😂😢 Went home, contractions were really intense and came every 3-4mins, so around 3am I called the hospital again and said I'm having really bad pains, and I can barely walk. They take my breath away and I think I'm in labor. Again, she said I would be screaming and unable to be so "chatty" if I was in labor, and to stay home and go to sleep. Obviously I couldn't sleep with these killer contractions every 2-3 mins now! Monday morning, July 27 contractions were now every 1-2 minutes, intense like someone was rilling out my insides, I tried rocking on the glider in the nursery, tried soaking in the bathtub, but I was in tears from the pain and from lack of sleep for two nights now, so I told hubby if these aren't labor pains I'm not waiting until I'm actually in labor. Let's to go the hospital and get the Epidural (my plan was to go natural) and he's like ok let's go. Arrived at the hospital around 10:15, got admitted, sat around moaning while the nurses told me relax, you'll catch your breath, we will get you a room in a minute. Meanwhile I'm in a wheelchair doubled over barely able to breathe. I thought I was going to pass out from the pain! Got into a room, they listened to baby's heartbeat, and midwife came in to check for dilation. "Oh my god I don't even feel much cervix. You're 9cm dilated honey let's go push!" I almost passed out at that point! I told her I can't do this it hurts soooo bad. But we got into a room, I pushed for the longest ten minutes of my life and out he came! I tore and got stitches, but not from end to end thank god. Still sore and uterus is cramping but everything else is going well. Breastfeeding is so hard! We will get there though! Third night of no sleep so don't mind the bags under my eyes hahaha And yes I am going to hunt down that darn midwife who told me to stay at home cuz I was fine and not in labor! Smh I had a CVS coupon trip planned for yesterday, but I'll take Ezra any day! So glad I pulled through with my plan though. It feels so empowering! Not saying next time I'd do it again 😂😂😂
I have a low tolerance of pain so I’m screwed either way 😂 but I am going to get through a natural birth no matter what! Quick question: Are the contractions or pushing the most painful? I’ve felt contractions with my first and omg. But I didn’t experience the pushing. He was way to tiny.
I honestly can't wait for the intense pain of contractions, to go in labor and have my husband by my side each step of the way, finally pushing our daughter out info the world just the thought just makes me so emotional and excited I CAN'T WAIT FOR SEPTEMBER ,
Ok guys labor story: My water broke about 10:30 last night. I put on a pad and monitored the leaking for an hour and about 12 I went to the hospital. I was admitted an hour later and they put my IV in and and took blood all that good stuff lol. By this I was having some mild contractions. Around 4 they started my pitocin and the contractions got really strong and were coming about 2 mins apart I asked for pain meds and the nurse put something in my IV that made me woozy it worked for about 45 mins then the contractions became unbearable. I asked for an epidural I got it about 5:30 but I was still only 1 1/2 cm so my dr made fun of me lol an hour later I was sleep lol I woke up about 11:30 bc my epidural was wearing off I was feeling a lot of pressure from the contractions I. fought through it until I felt like I was being ripped apart and I was BEGGING for another dose before they gave it to me the nurse checked me and I was 7cms and the contractions were BRUTAL lol I got another dose of the epidural and the nurse turned me on my side and went to check on another patient 5 mins later I told my mom and bf go get the nurse bc I had to to push and they kept telling me no bc I was only 7 and I was screaming GO GET THE NURSE HE'S COMING NOW! she came back checked BAM 10cms lol I literally went from 7 to 10 in 5 mins and I felt every bit of it. They started me pushing my dr came in and I pushed for 30 mins and I watched it in a mirror the whole time it was beautiful the after his head and shoulders came out I got to pull him out myself 😍 Luckily for me by the third push the epidural kicked back in and I didn't feel the last 15 mins of pushing lol. My baby came out hungry and looking for a boob lol
Just pushed my baby boy out all natural with no epidural 😩 I had to get like 10 stitches I am sooooo sore .. this non epidural was not my plan bt I got to the hospital at 4cm and progressed to 10cm in less than an hour so I had no time to get my epidural
