Hey Ladies, I wanted to share my labor story with you. At my appointment on the 12th, i was told that I probably wouldn't last another week. I went walking around the mall 2 days in a row to try to get him out but all that did was make my feet hurt. No contractions or cramps, nothing. on valentines day I woke up and lost part of my mucous plug and was super nauseous to where I threw up. After walking that day I was ready for baby to be here! Around 6 that night I took some castor oil, that didn't seem to do anything either. Around 12ish that night I got my first contraction but none followed so I went to sleep. I woke up around 3 to go pee and was laying back down. At 3:44 I got this super weird feeling that felt like the baby was flopping around or something and realized that it was my water!! I called the midwife on call and told her and she told me to wait a few hours to go to the hospital since it was snowing and -1 outside. within an hour of my water breaking my contractions were about 3 minutes apart and about a minute long, is going to the hospital there was no way I could wait 4 hours! When I got there I was about 6cm dilated. I took some pain meds through the iv which made the in between so much more relaxing and the next couple hours a bit of a blur. At 11:35 I started pushing and at 1:05pm McKinley James McCreary was born weighing 7 pounds 8 ounces and 20.5 inches long. :) I'm so glad I went without having an epidural or a c section, I did it as natural as I could and I'm very happy with my birth experience!!

yep, just the iv. I was terrified of getting the epidural so I tried other things before and it worked. Birthing ball helped too FYI. and thank you:) @paigesanchez14

They took the edge off but I still felt them. The first dose lasted probably a couple hours, the second dose wasn't a lot so it didn't last as long. The first dose was nice though, if I want contracting so hard I could have slept in between lol @mmmirage

!!!!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 😂😂😂
