I just wanted to share my insane labor experience for all you mamas 😅
At Monday morning I woke up at 4:50am I felt something leaking down my legs when I went into the restroom there was blood and I began to feel contractions occurring every 45-60 seconds being 3 minutes apart I called my midwife and said I feel like these are real she told me to shower and basically to try and relax since I was suppose to labor mainly at home also first baby didn't take me serious and since I was going to have a water birth at the birth center, well I called her back at 5:40am telling her the pain was not going away and I needed to go into the birth center I was super serious at this point we left our house at 6am the whole car ride I was crying everytime a contraction occurred it was so painful and the low ride of the car did not help. Me and bf arrived at the birth center 6:45am by this time the contractions were super intense it was up to a minute long with 3 minute frequencies we went upstairs the midwife checked me and said your only 3cm dilated and baby will not come till either tonight or tomorrow well I was devastated was I not in that much pain so every contraction still hurt I was just so upset I felt disappointed and didn't really care to show my pain anymore keep in mind I'm strep b positive they hooked an IV in my arm and did one dose of antibiotics and sent me home with the IV in plus I was suppose head back to the birth center at 3pm..well on the way home in the car ride contractions were so painful I would cry and try to stay positive everytime I got a small break and bf had to pull over 3 times so we could continue to my grandmas house which is closer to the birth center our house is 40 min away my grandmas is about 15-20min away well I got to my grandmas it was 9:30am The contractions were very painful every contraction I was screaming and crying I layed down on the sofa and then told bf to make a bath for me so around 10 am I went into the bath to try and deal with contractions bf stayed by my side the whole time..I was in literal pain the water was not very helpful I have low pain tolerance but I was fighting through every single contraction strongly bf reminded me I wanted to have a natural birth I swear I wanted to punch him in the face well around 11am I felt the need to go to the toilet and push. I was on the toilet and I felt something falling out of my vaginal literally I thought it was her head I screamed and my bf checked he freaked out and screamed for my sister so basically he called the midwife actually in the tub I told him to call her and she called the wrong number my phone which why would I have when I'm dealing with painful contractions so he finally reaches her everyone's freaking out because something is trying to come out of my vagina! Soo the fire department comes to the bathroom and I'm like if we're going to have this baby I'm going to lay down wrong move it hurt like crap laying down on the bathroom mat and the contractions were so intense bf is not even by me I have a fire department women who's holding my hand and the other guy checking down in my lady parts well it's crazy there 2 toddlers staring in the bathroom and 5 adults hearing me scream in pain and bf is panicked well I'm like hell no I can not lay down so they pick me up off the ground to get up my water breaks and explodes on the floor and the ambulance has officially arrived. Well they are like you are going to have a baby we need to transfer you to the nearest hospital and at this point I'm biting on a towel and pinching this women's hand who I do not know plus no one is allowed in the back of the ambulance my sister is like I'll go with her so bf runs to take the car and drives to the hospital while I'm transferred in the ambulance most painful ride of my life keep in mind the contractions our becoming extremely intense and I'm screaming through all of them and trying to breath I do not let go of the fire department women's hand she stays with me through the whole ambulance ride we finally get to the hospital and like idiots they take the wrong turns and I feel like I'm in the ride of a lifetime everytime is a blurr and I'm screaming through the hallways and I want bf but he's gone so I basically scream for my sister and she's with me the whole time now..so we arrive in the delivery room. The nurses don't have time to check me in or do anything they hook my stomach to a heartbeat monitor and check me and I'm told your fully dilated we are now waiting for the doctor on call bf arrives to the room 3 min before the doctor shows..well when the doctor gets in the room she's like you have to push and basically they are pulling my legs apart and tell me to push during every contraction so I keep screaming because I'm in so much pain and basically to get the baby out I need to use my energy wisely which I'm not doing with screaming so my sister shuts my mouth the last push and the baby is out I felt her head stuck in between my legs when the contractions stopped that was the worst I couldn't even get comfortable well baby girl came out at 12:06 pm. And you know how after you give birth your suppose to still have contractions my body stopped. And basically I post partum hemmoraged they massaged my stomach with no pain meds to get my placenta out at this point still not connected to any IV. I was screaming with the baby on top of me that was more pain then the whole labor..and basically I was being told I would lose my uterus if they did not do what they doing the nurses were going around and putting two shots in my legs I was losing so much blood. Well after all that ended I finally got something for pain through an IV during the stitches and something numb put on my vagina during every stitch but I felt her drugged after that and I felt like I was going to die I literally asked bf if I was dying keep in mind I'm down 7 quarts of blood at this point my blood level is at a 4. I was told to get a blood transfusion and since my family culturally was against I did not. They did end up giving me a bag of iron and monitoring my blood levels really closely I was in intense pain after labor.
Omg 😐😐😳
