Omg these contractions are so freaking bad. It hurts so much.

No epidural?

@juliaschade41 not until I get the balloon out.

Which will be another like 2 hours my nurse thinks. They told me it gets a lot better once it comes out.

@newmommyathenia what is the balloon for again? Does everyone get one?

@juliaschade41 no its a balloon thing they fill with water after they put it behind your cervix. It dilates you to 3 or 4cm then comes out. It acts like babys head.

@newmommyathenia oh okay.
