What a crazy few days! Started contracting on Tuesday, my actual due date. Knew they were real contractions because I didn't have to ask if they were (note to those waiting- I hate to admit but like everyone says you'll know. Word of thumb- if you have to ask if they are contractions they are not.), and I was about seven minutes apart all Tuesday. Was kept up most of the night, and woke up at 3:30am Wednesday having stronger ones. Had an appointment Wednesday anyways and was pissed to find I wasnt any different. Still at about 1. She stripped my membranes (what was left) and I could feel them becoming stronger pretty quick. Around 3 I was getting contractions and BACK LABOR (all I can say is fucccckkk that! Worst pain of my life) every three minutes. Went in and was STILL THE SAME. made me walk for the worst two hours of my life with back pain that literally made me throw up. Sent me home with ambien to either make me feel better or jump start labor bc I had been up so long and needed sleep to relax my body. Cue even WORSE back labor that made me want to die. The ambien relaxed me enough for me to start active labor after a few hours. Water broke during one contraction, headed to the hospitalat 2:30 am today, 4th of July. Got to hospital, was checked and he was coming. My biggest fear was not being able to get the epi. If I couldn't handle 2cm, I figured I'm not one of those that can do labor. Well, no time for the epi! They told me to lightly push each contraction. Four bouts of pushing with three pushes each and he was out!
I didnt even have time to care about the epi. It's true when they say that you get to the point in the pushing stage where you just want it OUT NOW. Giving physical birth without pain meds was truly better then fucking back labor-god it still makes me nauseous thinking about hoW it felt like my insides were being slowly ripped apart by godzilla or something.
I had ambien in my system so close to having him and he came so fast, he pooped in me and had to be taken for an X-ray and tests (his apgar wasn't where they wanted it to be).
Natural really does empower you like you wouldn't believe. I knew I had to do it so I quietly pushed through everything. Both nurses and my doctor were complimenting me left and right. Made me feel awesome!
She did cut me (I had no idea), could bet I pooed (didnt care), and had to be stitched from the 2nd degree tear/cut. Didn't feel the cut or the stitches.
Nothing beats being able to get out of bed, pee, shower,and move on my own. I would do the active labor part again no questions but NOT two days of back labor. Yuck!
Ok that's it
just had him this morning, little fourth of July baby! Jackson Anthony, we are calling him Jack. It was love at first sight ! I was meant to be a mom. I'm obsessed and so is my husband- its the best to see him love all over this baby!
