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.
So I keep feeling these lil sharp pains on my right side. You do get pains like that before you start your period right.? Remember I had that dark brown spotting for a few hours last month on the 22. My period suppose to start today.
!!!!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 😂😂😂
**BIRTH STORY** March 24th 1:45am. (Me & my 10yr old home sleep) got up to use the bathroom & Had my bloody show. So I text my bf who works in L.A (2 hours away/off at 330am) saying keep phone on loud she'll be here within 24 hours. 2:30am felt a slight uncomfortable pressure starting.Text my bf saying pressure is starting I'll probably be calling early am. 3:30am mild contractions starting 12 min apart. Text bf saying head down they've started. 4:10am..7 min apart starting to hurt. Crawl on floor to help (no help)...get in bath (no help). Get out..in pain. Screaming laying on bed and banging on wall...daughter wakes up freaking out. I say baby is coming. She gets me towels I was sweating trys to rub back and tell me to cry & scream in pillow lol. By this time I'm sure a few neighbors have been waken lol. 4:20 am.. 4 min apart IN HORRIBLE PAIN. I'm thinking shit my bf won't make it. I'm screaming loud, hitting my wall pulled a blind down lol laying on my side in bed rocking back and forth. Only position I could tolerate a lil. And with every contraction I lose my breathe and have to tighten my muscles/push. 4:32am 2 min apart. I'm dying. By now I'm sure my.complex thought I was being murdered. My daughter is there still in shock but helpful thank goodness. Told her to get dressed. She says ok but i dont want to go to school im staying with u lol. Ok girl lol. 4:44am as I'm fighting screaming thru a contraction my water POPS alllll over the place like a water balloon and I think "oh fck shes coming". I cry out my water just broke to my daughter call Nana on your phone. I call my bf muffled screamed my waterrrr just broke I'm calling 911 and going. He says something like he's 30 min away but I hung up lol & called 911 (4:45am). They answer and I yell/cry "shes coming!!"she said who's coming??! I said the babyyy, she said on youre pregnant. Etc she stays on phone saying breathe, get in middle of bed all that good stuff. I hear so many sirens THANK GOD. 4:51am about 8 paramedics appear in my room like angels lol. I hang up w/ 911. They ask questions idk I keep saying I gotta push. They say no don't push let's sit up & get in chair so we can head to hospital. I keep screaming I can't move I gotta push. They say nooo. I say yesss lol. I say I can't breathe. They give me oxygen. I say imma push I feel her coming down!...one paramedic was like "Amber don't.... Oh ummm is that hair?! OK she's gotta push get towels get towels. My daughter gives them towels and goes talk to officers in living room. 1 push I can feel 'ring of fire' and head out. I can breathe a lil better. 2nd push. Still in. 3rd hard push I feel her body slid out and pain subside. SHE'S HERE... 5:02 AM born on Mommy's bed.
is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
