Copied and pasted from my prego journal. Here's how this morning played out:
Went in for appointment, had the ultrasound, all looked perfect! Got hooked up to the NST, baby girl was perfect. Dr came in and did the cervical check (holy effing OUCH, btw!). She stood up, looked at the contractions printout, turned to the nurse and said "take her off the NST right now!" then WALKED OUT. My husband and I looked at each other like "wtf was THAT?!", the nurse made a comment like "ooh, she found something!" then she unhooked me. After 10 agonizing minutes the doctor came back in and said "so here's the deal, you're 4cm dilated, you're contracting, you're having this baby today!"
That was a very stressful 10 minutes! So my husband goes home to get the baby bag and my mom while I head over here. I'm bleeding like crazy from the cervical check, the mucus plug comes out in one big, bloody glob when I go to give a urine sample, and then the nurse hooked me up to the NST monitor. I was having contractions every 5 minutes, but I felt NOTHING!! The doctor came in and checked my cervix (that hurts so much, omfg) and broke my water. They then started me on pitocin, which initially I didn't want, but with the pre-e scare and my BP still being kinda high they want her here sooner rather than later.
So anyway, got the epidural, now we wait! So far I have felt no pain other than the cervical checks
I somehow dilated to 4cm without feeling it! What I thought were BH were not BH!
