My daughter has been here for more than a week now but I'm just now sharing my labor story. So I headed to the hospital to be induced at 9am. The doctor put the medicine on my cervix to progress dilation at about 10am. I was only 1cm dilated at that time. I relaxed for awhile and then the cramps started to come. I decided to get into the bath. The cramps started off similar to my period cramps and just got worse. At around 2:30 or 3pm I had to get out the bath so the nurse could monitor the baby and the doctor checked me and I was 5cm dilated. At this time, cramps were killing me. They gave me some medicine through my Iv but it did not help, just made me drowsy. At around 3:20 I was calling for the epidural but my midwife didn't let me get one since I already said previously that I didn't want one. But it was too late anyways. The nurse checked me at 3:25pm and I was we 10cm dilated and I started to feel like pushing. The doctor came and I delivered my baby in about 5 minutes with only 3 pushes. The first push was pure fire. The second push, her head came out and her shoulders came out with the third push. All together, labor and delivery was about 5 hours long.They didn't need to give me pitocin. Honestly, I would do it again because I feel so blessed to have my princess in my life.

Starting TWW. Anyone else?

I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

leahbeth I'm so sorry :( hopefully your cycle continues and you get another shot next month.
