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!!!
Update: Brittany did not get an epidural she quickly dilated she was 4 cm then an hour later 8 cm contractions are strong and now she is a 10 cm and it's almost time to push my grandson out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How long did you go through labor? I went through 14 hours of labor when I had Oliver. Would have been longer if the doctors hadn’t given me meds to speed up the labor. I was given an epidural, my blood pressure went down to 80 and they had to give three epidural shots to get me stable again and they had to stop it for 20 minutes because the doctor was out at lunch. 🙄 so by the time I gave birth I felt everything
Checked in at 4am february 1st.. started my pitocin drip at 5. I was 3cm dilated when i checked in. Things were progressing pretty slowly until my doctor broke my water at 7 am. I got my epidural done when i was 7 cm dilated, my nurse came in to check me and said baby was in plus 1 station. From there it went rather quickly, once my cervix was complete, she did practice pushes with me, i did 3 practice pushes with a few contractions and she said not to practice push anymore because baby was crowning already. She went and got my doctor, 2 real pushes later and baby was out ! I have 2 tears, 6 stitches, and ones a 2nd degree. We got released the next day ! So glad to be home but its very stressful that my daughter isnt adjusting well. Jeremiah wayne havis, born at 10:56 a.m. february 1st, weighing 6 pounds 1 ounce at birth, 19 1/2 inches long. When we checked out he was 5 pounds 14 ounces. Born at 38 weeks 6 days!
Baby Rhonda Lin-Li made her debut at 11:01am this morning (12/5). Weighing in at 7lbs 1oz and 19". After being sent home at 1am this morning, I had to come back at 9:45 as I had intense contractions that were 3-5 minutes apart. At check in, I measured at 4cm but 100% effaced. A minute later, they broke my waters. Within 5 minutes, I literally dilated to 9. They rushed me into a the delivery room...I tried to go without an epidural..but at 9cm, I could no longer take the pain. Got the epidural and 20 minutes later, pushed for 15 minutes and she was here! Blessed labor... um.. now I'm ready to go home! lol

@firstbaby_girl, it actually got higher for a while after I had her. It was 160 over 102 for a while. It is now dropping so things are looking good. :)
