Symantha's arrival
I had been symptom spotting for days driving myself nuts. I just knew she was coming early I didn't think it was gonna be this early but well she had her own plan. 2 days prior I started walking a lot which considering my lazy couch pregnancy my body was nom to thrilled. It caused lots of braxton hicks I even ended up at my dr Tuesday for reduced movement and was told I was having silent contractions. Determined to turn them into real I walked a mile or so that afternoon. Day came and went, New Year's Eve came I decided I was just gonna rest been super tired. Had only gotten 4 hours of crappy sleep and just was not feeling it. Spent the day being very lazy with my husband had weird random things happen 3-4 bm throughout the day but had happened the week before so didn't think much of it. Lots of discharge thick and yellow couldn't figure out if it was plug cause no blood. Bout 6pm had diarrhea which was new for me and has me wondering clear out. This whole first time kid thing really had me questioning all odd things. I swore up and down I would be the one who went into labor and didn't know it. Well 7pm comes around im starving hadn't eaten anything since a donut at 4, get up to find food and bam a huge gush of liquid that has me hopping to the linoleum to avoid ruining furniture... Husband was gaming looks up at me all weird and I say I think my water broke... Him being a man asks if I was sure well first tine mom im like well no so start walking to bedroom to see more gushing soaking down leg and pj pants. Im in shock no one in my family ever had there water break on there own and I was only 36+5. So had no hospital bag packed call my dr tell him im on my way after I pack. Arrive at hospital at 7:30ish. Still no contractions wondering what was gonna happen. Finally 8:30 rolls around contractions have showed and im 2cm dilated. By 9:30 I ask for epidural they have me watch video sign paper then tell me they will be up after they are done. Some accident had them all in the ER. 10:30 rolls around still only 2cm but contractions have started 1 min apart and very painful. Still waiting on epidural im in a lot of pain exhausted from no sleep and wondering when my little girl was gonna show. Well she decided to make a hasty delivery by 11:30 I was 9cm no epidural for me I start pushing at 11:45 ish honestly didn't know if I was gonna make it. Really almost passed out the last hour of back to back contractions really had just taken it out of me. Pushed for 30-40 min and my beautiful girl arrived at 12:23 am. She was in a very big rush I suppose and was the first baby of the new year here in the hospital. Honestly am still in shock I had such a short labor and nothing went as planned. She was breathing a bit to fast at delivery but I got her back an hour later. It's now been a day she is doing great!!! Breastfeeding is going well hurts a lot but honestly couldn't care less as long as she is eating. I really couldn't have done it without my husband he stepped up like no other im surprised I didn't break his hand. He was so supportive and loving when i was ready to give up, im so lucky. He is now saying he doesn't want any more kids lol seeing me in so much pain killed him but I know that will pass. And well next time I'm getting an epidural the second I start contracting. I dunno if it's the exhaustion or what it was i do not ever want to do natural again. I feel great that I accomplished it but I honestly would not choose it again. I did tear second degree she had a big head lol. Only weighed 6lb. We ended up in the local newspaper and on TV for being the first baby here it's crazy and cool. She will be able to find a news clip of her. Well I think that's all of it if I think of anything else I will add..
