yea! congrats on a safe delivery and no pain meds omg i am impressed!!!!
Hey all I had my baby Wed morning at 4:20am! I was supposed to be induced but woke up at 2:00am in ACTIVE labor lol!!! It hurt SOOOOOO bad! The contractions were on top of each other and we rushed to the hospital! My birth plan was out the window lol! We didnt even have time to pick up my lil sis who was going to baby sit!! So we got there to the hospital at about 3am (we live a good 25 min from the hospital and we all had to throw on some clothes) luckily I had laid the girls clothes out for the induction that I was supposed to have lol! The ride there was terrible the contractions were truly almost unbearable! When we pulled in and I got out I threw up b/c it hurt so bad my body was in shock b/c with the other births I was able to time them and get to the hospital before I was in active labor and get the epidural so I had never exp that intense pain before! They rushed me up there in the wheel chair and my hubby and 2 girls had to go park the car and come up in their own...I was literally moaning soo loud all the way into the labor and delivery room on the 3rd floor lol the other patients must of been like wth!! LMBO! When I got in the room they said I was 6cm dialated and they called for the epidural but I was going too fast the checked me again about 7 min later and I was 8 cm and it was hurting so bad that with every contraction it was like my body made me push! They kept saying dont push just breathe but I was like I caaaannntt!!! lol I was saying please help me and calling on God and Jesus!!! The nurses were so nice though and helping me through it..then hubby came in while some nurses watched my girls, he was helping me and then I said go check on the girls and all this was within an hour and twenty minutes the doc came in they had already said I couldnt get the epi cause I was going to fast and I think during the whole thing I never opened my eyes lol!! The doc rushed in I pushe about 5 times and y'all Im not exaggerating this was the WORST pain I have ever felt in my life and I will NEVER forget it, but the joy I felt afterwards when I saw her face was worth it! My hubby was gone for maybe 5min and I had her and he was sad that he missed it but he said he could hear me in the waiting room! I was a little embarrased but I feel like a champ b/c never in a million years would I have thought that I could push out a baby all natural with no pain meds! The doc said I did go into a lil bit of shock from the pain (I dont have a high threshold hence why I always get an epi if possible) but they cleaned her up hubby watched them as they cleaned her and he brought her over to me, we both cried lol and Im just soooo happy, they let me out the hospital today and the staff there was sooo great!!! I will upload pics right now! Thanks for listening ladies!!!! So all in all I was in labor from 2am to 4:20am when she was born at 8lb and 11 oz 19 and 1/4 inches long!
My baby boy was born Wednesday morning at 1:24am. I went into labor at 5pm Tuesday. I went from 3 to 5 in an hour and got my epidural at 9pm, but was stuck at 6 so at midnight they broke my water. I was still at 6 when they checked me at 1 and then 2 contractions later I was complete and baby was coming out on his own. The nurse had to hold his head inside until the dr could get gloves and a gown on. It was frantic and funny. Two pushes later and he was born. 5.5 lbs and 19 in long. Nursed right away and perfectly healthy!!! We went home about 32 hours later.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Its almost 8pm and I just cant even lay down b/c Im soooo excited for tomorrow lololol!!!!
Good luck to all the ladies getting induced today. Hope it goes quick and easy and you meet your healthy bundles of joy soon! Can't wait to see pictures.
yay jennie, todays your day!!! Praying you have a great delivery and recovery!!!
