I woke up on August 28th, went to the bathroom and there was the last of my mucus plug. I knew labor wouldn't be far off so I dragged my husband to do some last minute house shopping. While shopping I started to cramp, then then contractions came. They were painful right off the bat and I kept stopping in my tracks. By the time we got home from shopping for everything it was after 4pm. The contractions were still coming about 10 minutes apart but I was already feeling pretty uncomfortable. I texted my midwife and she told me to go to L&D to be checked. We arrived at 4:30 and they hooked me up to the monitors. A couple hours pass and my midwife gets there. She checks me and I'm 2 cm dilated and 90% effaced but my contractions had stopped coming regularly. She was concerned about the babies movements so she ordered a biophysical and an NST but bothcame back normal so she sent me home. By this time it was 9pm. I was still really uncomfortable but i was glad to go home and get some rest since it was looking like he was going to be here soon. Well sleep never came! My contractions picked up again as soon as we got home but I was afraid of being sent home again so I told my husband we would wait it out. All night I tossed and turned but I toughed it out until 6am when my contractions were coming 5-6 minutes apart. I woke my husband and told him we should go back to the hospital. We packed up the car (again) and I texted my midwife to tell her we were going back. Once again I was hooked up to the monitors and a few minutes later a nurse came to check me. I was 5 cm and 100% effaced. She told me I was being admitted! We got settled in our room and I got hooked up to an IV to receive antibiotics because I tested positive for GBS. My sister in law arrived and her and my husband took turns helping me through contractions. It was about 11 am and they were coming less than 2 minutes apart now. My midwife arrived again at 3 to check me and I was at a 6. She broke my water and told me to prepare for everything to go by really fast. I was offered an epidural which I declined. The contractions were so bad by now. I was checked again at 4:30 and i was almost 9 cm. My midwife told me to let them know when it felt like I had to push. At 5 I started to feel pressure and told my husband to get the nurse. The nurse told us it probably wasn't time yet but came to check me anyway. She barely reached my cervix and then she said "I can feel his head, page Dr.Philbin!" They started prepping the room and getting me in position to push. My midwife arrived a few minutes later and I started pushing! That's when things got crazy and scary! Every time I went to push his heart rate would go way down. They started talking about needing a vacuum or a C section if his heart rate kept dropping. They made me put on the oxygen and after that his heart rate stabilized. Two big pushes later, out came my little guy! Born August 29th at 5:23 pm after 13 hours in active labor. He was 7 lbs 9 ounces and more perfect than I could have ever imagined. So proud that my body was able to deliver my baby all naturally!

!!!!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 😂😂😂

Still haven't told DH...

Still haven't told DH... ...that we're expecting! ? Tonight we were at dinner with my brother and SIL and they just had a baby 4 weeks ago. She said something about babies and DH replies, with such an attitude, "uh no! Never again, we are done!"

Sorry I havent posted an update on whats happened. I finally.had my baby boy, Noah Jesus Zamora 😍 So I went in Friday night due to small contractions, once I made it to the hospital they had become regular & I was almost 2 cm dilated. They kept me for 2 hours before sending me home because my contractions werent causing any dilation. So my bf & I spent the night at my mothers just incase something happened. I tried to fall asleep around 1 something in the a.m. after timing contractions that were 2-3 mins apart. I sleep on & off until 3 a.m. and my contractions had gotten worse. I went to use the bathroom and I had seen that I completely lost my mucous plug/had my show! So I woke my mom up & she sat with me for a while. I walked around the house for a bit and before I knew it the contractions had progressed so I called ny doctor & he told me to head to the hospital. When I get there they start to monitor baby Noah & my contractions and when I got checked I made progress. So they hooked me up to an IV because they thought maybe I was dehydrated & they gave me some morphine around 6 a.m. so I could sleep. I was in so much pain from the contractions and needles I cried & my bf started to cry because he hated to see me in such pain. I kept falling in out of sleep after the morphine shot. Definitely couldnt sleep through the contractions. They brought me breakfast around 8 o'clock, which made my mom and bf think they were gonna send me home again. Later on around 2 my doctor came in to check my cervix & surprisingly I was 3 cm dilated (the amount you have to be for my hospital to admit you) so it hit me that I wasn't leaving without my baby boy. They told me they weren't gonna check again for another 2 hours to give me some time to progress to 4 cm & get the epidural. So within those 2 hours it had gotten BAD I was in the worst pain ever. and around 4 the nurse came in to check my cervix, come to find out I was FULLY DILATED! I freaked because I did not want to feel all of the pain of giving birth. I told my nurse I wanted try the epidural even though there was a huge chance it would have no effect. Getting the epiduarl was a pan becaue I was having full blown contractions while having to stay still complety it was horrible. So after that I waited for it to kick in a bit, it definitely helped the only thing I could feel was the urge to poop. It took me almost an hour to push and it was seriously the worst pain ever because I could feel the burning and everything but finally out came Noah 😍 weighing 7 pounds 13 ounces & 18 inches long looking just like his daddy. Im so in love and my life is now complete. We couldn't be happier to have finally met our baby! Longest labor story ever lol I babble!
