update : still no baby for me. been in active labor since Saturday. labored at home for a while then came to the hospital at 3 am and have been slowly progressing. I had zero pain meds so I was able to walk the halls and bounce on a ball. contractions are the worst pain I've ever felt. I'm proud of myself for making it this far. my water broke around 10 am this morning and I've been slowly progressing. I got to 9 cm and then my body just gave up. I was stuck for 6 hours so I gave in and just got the epidural about 45 mins ago. I'm totally numb and relaxed now and don't even feel my contractions. I'm a little disappointed I gave up on going natural but I've been running on no sleep or food since Saturday and I was completely exhausted. I was seeing stars bc I was so tired. trying to rest now and they're checking me again at 5 am. hopefully I'll be holding my sweet boy soon 💙
