Last night I got home from a hair appointment and noticed my feet/ankles had swollen up a crazy amount so I was worried that pre e was starting and thinking ugh I bet my dr will want to induce soon. So I laid down with my feet up trying to get that to come down when 30 minutes later I felt a gush and got up to go to the bathroom, soo much water coming out, I never knew it was that much. I tell my husband who was totally panicked and I just kept trying to get changed and kept ruining pants in the process. I was still in a lot of shock over this, I’d had no contractions or other signs aside from a slight lower back ache.
We go get checked in and I was dialated at a 1 and mild contractions were finally starting. This was all around 9pm, they didn’t want to give epidural until 3-4cm but after contractions got going they offered an iv pain killer in the meantime. Huge mistake, I absolutely hated how I felt on it, awful and out of it plus it didn’t do much for the pain, luckily it only lasted about an hour. After the contractions were getting soo bad, I got the epidural around 3am and things were much better after that and I got a few small naps in.
I finally got to 10cm and was ready to push just before 10am, pushed for 25 min and baby was born at 10:21am at 36w5d.
Poof
We’re doing great today, he is so sweet and I really can’t believe he’s mine ❤️
