Labor Story (Sorry so Long): On Feb 24th I had a Dr appt and I was 1 cm and 50%, my midwife did a cervical sweep. I woke up at 1:45 am on Feb 25th having contractions. At the time I wasn't 100% sure if that is what I was feeling at about 11 I still wasn't a 100% sure and I just had to know so I went to the hospital to get checked out. When I got there I was only 2 cm and 70%. They told me to go walk around the hospital for an hour and come back. After that I was only 3cm and 70%. Well another walk around the hospital for an hour. After that walk I wasn't having any improvement so they gave me some pain meds and sent me home. It was about 8pm on the 25th. Got home sat in a bath for an hour and then laid down. After laying down for 20 minutes I was in tears and decided it was time to go back to the hospital. Got to the hospital they rechecked me and I was 4cm and 80% they asked if I wanted to walk for an hour and this time I told them no. My contractions were only 2-3 mins apart lasting about 90 secs. Well they finally admitted me and I was given an epidural within 30 minutes. This was a life savor by this time I had been awake for over 26 hours. I was able to fall asleep. at 10:30 they checked me again and my water had broke on its own (I couldn't even tell) I was told I was 8 cm and 100%. At 3:45 I was checked and finally was at 10 cm. The nurse wanted me to labor down for a little bit so I didn't start pushing until 3:15. I had my bundle of joy at 3:35. While pushing everyone in the room was singing songs from lion king and then talking about our nails. It was excellent. After having Ryker the nurse informed me that I was actually 10 cm when she checked me at 10:30. She saw in my birth plan that I wanted to labor down and was trying to wait until I felt like I needed to push. Also baby was sunny side up so I ended up having a 3rd degree ripe :(

once you get to 10 cm 100% you allow your body go keep contracting pushing the baby down, that way when you go to push you won't have to push as long. my nurse said if I would of started pushing when they first saw I was 10 cm it probably would of taken 2 hrs. by waiting it was 20 minutes and I only pushed 10 times to get him out. it was nice.

Sorry I havent posted an update on whats happened. I finally.had my baby boy, Noah Jesus Zamora 😍 So I went in Friday…

Sorry I havent posted an update on whats happened. I finally.had my baby boy, Noah Jesus Zamora 😍 So I went in Friday night due to small contractions, once I made it to the hospital they had become regular & I was almost 2 cm dilated. They kept me for 2 hours before sending me home because my contractions werent causing any dilation. So my bf & I spent the night at my mothers just incase something happened. I tried to fall asleep around 1 something in the a.m. after timing contractions that were 2-3 mins apart. I sleep on & off until 3 a.m. and my contractions had gotten worse. I went to use the bathroom and I had seen that I completely lost my mucous plug/had my show! So I woke my mom up & she sat with me for a while. I walked around the house for a bit and before I knew it the contractions had progressed so I called ny doctor & he told me to head to the hospital. When I get there they start to monitor baby Noah & my contractions and when I got checked I made progress. So they hooked me up to an IV because they thought maybe I was dehydrated & they gave me some morphine around 6 a.m. so I could sleep. I was in so much pain from the contractions and needles I cried & my bf started to cry because he hated to see me in such pain. I kept falling in out of sleep after the morphine shot. Definitely couldnt sleep through the contractions. They brought me breakfast around 8 o'clock, which made my mom and bf think they were gonna send me home again. Later on around 2 my doctor came in to check my cervix & surprisingly I was 3 cm dilated (the amount you have to be for my hospital to admit you) so it hit me that I wasn't leaving without my baby boy. They told me they weren't gonna check again for another 2 hours to give me some time to progress to 4 cm & get the epidural. So within those 2 hours it had gotten BAD I was in the worst pain ever. and around 4 the nurse came in to check my cervix, come to find out I was FULLY DILATED! I freaked because I did not want to feel all of the pain of giving birth. I told my nurse I wanted try the epidural even though there was a huge chance it would have no effect. Getting the epiduarl was a pan becaue I was having full blown contractions while having to stay still complety it was horrible. So after that I waited for it to kick in a bit, it definitely helped the only thing I could feel was the urge to poop. It took me almost an hour to push and it was seriously the worst pain ever because I could feel the burning and everything but finally out came Noah 😍 weighing 7 pounds 13 ounces & 18 inches long looking just like his daddy. Im so in love and my life is now complete. We couldn't be happier to have finally met our baby! Longest labor story ever lol I babble!

Got to the hospital at 4 am to start my pitocin, well.. I was put on the drip at 430 am , and was 4cm dilated and 80 percent effaced, an hour later. The nurse came in to check me, hours later, and I was at 6 cm. I got the epidural at 6cm.. But it didn't work for me, no more than 20 minutes later, I couldn't take the pain, I was screaming and crying.. And felt everything.. most terrible pain ever, I called for my nurse to come in and she checked me again, said I was ready to deliver, babys head was there. About 30 minutes of pushing, and 8 stitches later, 10:40 a.m. I gave birth to the most beautiful, little girl in the world, weighing 5 pounds and 8 ounces, 18 inches long! Welcome to the world Scarlette Jayde, youre so perfect.. and were so blessed to be your parents!! Even though I felt everything, and the epidural didn't work for me, I have to say the pain I felt was so worth it!!!
