I was scheduled to be induced Friday morning, but baby girl had other plans! Thursday morning around 7am I woke up with those familiar period cramps. I had so many false labor symptoms I didn’t even want to believe they were real. At 8am I began to feel real contractions and they started coming every 5 minutes on the dot. I had a doctors appointment at 10:15 anyways so I decided to head over an hour early just in case. Dropped off my son at kindergarten at 8:20 and made the 50 minute drive over. All the while contracting every 5 minutes! Half way there I realized they were too painful not to be real labor so I called my mom over letting her know it was time. Once I got to my OB and they checked me they said I was 4cm dilated and I was going to be admitted. My mom and I head over to the hospital and at around 12pm I was already 7cm dilated 😱 I progressed extremely fast after that and at 1:56 pm Aira was born weighing in at 7lbs 13oz. Let me tell y’all it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt. I’m so glad I never have to do that again 🤣 I’m so glad to have my chunky girl here. Also the nurses are loving our cloth diapers ☺️

!!!!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 😂😂😂

Contraction questions I had a membrane sweep today. Before the sweep I was 3-4 dilated & 75% effaced.

I'm not dilated at all. My cervix is soft...that's it he couldn't even feel the baby's head. I'm so disappointed I could…

I'm havin some contractions that are about 20 minutes apart and lasting 3 minutes. It's been pretty consistent for almost 2 hours. Is this the beginning of labor? My doctor said if I had 6 in an hour to go to L&D but I only had 4 in an hour. I'm 32 weeks with twins.

So threw up the brew but still having some contractions. I suppose it will help dilation.

So threw up the brew but still having some contractions. I suppose it will help dilation. Sigh so I guess my appointment for Friday to get monitoring is still on . I hope my fluids stay consistent.
