I talked my hubby into letting me take castor oil on April 3, they days after what woul have been my angels 2 birthday. I took it at 4 and nothing mot even a slight hit of having to go potyu, so around 9 hubby suggested I take more I did and went to bed around 1130pm I woke up with the urge to use the potty. I did and felt better but as soon as I went back to bed I started to have what I thought where BH so I tried to fall back to sleep. I couldn't and I knew that was the start of the end lol. I went down stairs and waited till about 230 when I couldnt take I anymore and woke my hubby up. We got to the hospital and they checked me and I was only 3cm and they said I need to be 4 to be admitted. They gave me te choice to go home which was 45 min away or walk around I chose to walk around. I came back at 6am and I was only 3 1/2cm and having real strong regular contractions. At the same time a women came in at the same time and ended having her baby in the triage room so my midwife decided to admit me. Lol. She didn't want that to happen to me. So we get to my room and after 6+ hrs of strong contractions I decided I wanted an epidural. I wanted an all natural med free delivery but making no progress sucked. I get my epi at 1030am and my contractions just slowed way down. So sometime later after waiting a couple more hours they decided that potocin should be started. It took about 6 hours for them to finbyhe right dose to get me to progress. At about 1030pm the midwife came in to check me and told me I was still a "good" 4. She told me she wanted to wait about an hour and if still no change we would talk about out other "options". She walked out and I asked the nurse to help me push my legs open and widen the way I was sitting she did and by the time the dr came in at 1230 I was 8cm!! I was so happy. They both walked out and as they did I started to feel my contractions so I called the nurse back in and asked for more meds cause I was startIng to feel them bad. The epi guy came in and gave me another dose and walked out. At 1am myidwife came back in to check me and I was fully dialated!! I woke my hubby up (oh yeah btw my hubby had been sleeping since about 9pm.) so as they are preparing me to start pushing he walks out the room. The nurse and midwife look at each other then at me and are just stunned I asked them to call him back. Lol well anyways he walks in as I'm about to start pushing and at 109am my little man was born. After 27 hours of labor!!! I'm so in love i would do it all again.
