Labor was hard.. Since the epidural didn't go threw either time. I had maybe two or three different meds.. I was dilated at a 2 for a couple hours. Went to a 4, stayed there for maybe two hours. I sat up and dilated to a 7 within 20 minutes of sitting up. The contractions started at 4 and hurt so bad. I finally wanted to push when I hit 7. Got to a 9 after maybe 5 minute . And within less than I think 30 minutes my daughter was born. It hurt, since again epidural didn't work, but it was worth it. weighing 5 pounds and 6 ounces. Cadence Amelia Faye
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

I had my little guy at 4:01 PM today. I got an epidural during hour 2 or 3. I was in labor for 9 and a half hours. Epidural lasted until the last 30-45 minutes, so they put a higher dose in and I didn't know I was 10CM I only felt the pressure in my bottom but I was so gassy and I thought it was gas pains. Nope. Went from 3CM to 10CM in less than 2 hours. I didn't tear but they did cut me. I literally didn't feel anything. But he looks like his mommy. He came on his due date






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 ...
I’m at a 1 1/5 if I dilate anymore within the next 3 hours I am being transferred to Odessa Tx because our my hospital doesn’t have a NICU.
