Labor started exactly the way it did with DD1, except I was 41w4d. I woke up around 5 with some contractions, nothing major, but I’d been having those for a week so I wasn’t too excited. I fell back asleep and at 7 woke up to the feeling of leaking a little fluid. I tried to get up to not get the bed wet but half fell out of bed and my water broke with a huge gush, all over the floor. I yelled for DH to wake up and he ran for towels and I stumbled to the bathroom.
There was meconium in the fluid so I already knew we were heading to the hospital right away. I threw a few last things in my bag, called my midwife, and doula and we were off. We got there around 10am. I was contracting irregularly.
Around 1pm I was getting antsy so we started a very low dose of Pitocin and that got things moving but I was still joking around and laughing with DH and my doula, between contractions. This was also when I got in trouble with the nurses for eating a grilled cheese sandwich, ha.
They checked me at 4:30 and I was 4cm dilated. The contractions were much more intense and we upped the Pitocin so at 5:30 I got an epidural. It was glorious and I got to relax and rest until 7:30. I was feeling a little pressure then so they checked me and I was 10cm and the baby’s head was pretty far down.
I labored down for about 20 minutes and then I knew I had to push. I pushed for about 2 minutes and the head was out but all of a sudden my midwife called the doctor in and there were so many people in the room. Everyone was just telling me to push. I knew something was wrong so I kept asking what was happening but everyone was too busy to answer. 2 nurses were on the bed pushing on my belly. I found out afterwards that it was her shoulder that was stuck on my pubic bone. So glad I had that epidural because the doctor had to reach in and manually turn her.
Fiona Joan was born at 7:54pm, 9lbs, 21inches. They took her almost right away to the warmer and it was too quiet but she cried pretty quickly and I was able to relax. It was a scary couple minutes but it all worked out and she’s doing great now.
