Birth story;) I started having contractions on Saturday night at about 9 pm(27th) , they were about 15 to 20 mins apart. I refused to go to L&D triage In case it was useless. I went to bed and tried to sleep through them. I got up Sunday morning and they were about 10 mins and regular. I held out until about noon, and called L&D per my husband begging. Lol. I arrived at 1 pm got settled and checked I was 3 cm and 75% effaced. She said we will monitor you an hr and see what happens. I was checked again and at 4 cm. I was admitted to labor room since there was progress...yay! She monitored me another hour checked again and I was 5 and about 80% effaced. I kept having contractions about every 5 mins but stalled:(. The DR on call wouldn't help because I was early. I think she was to lazy because when ever H and I walked by station she was on her phone texting and on FB:(. I suffered basically rest of Sunday . I then seen my MW come through the door and told me it was time to break water after weeks of suffering let's end this. She broke my water at 6 am (Monday 29th) , then pitocin was started at 7, then epidural at about 7:30 because they start pitocin a little high. They don't want long birth process due to my epilepsy. I was checked at 9:00 and about 7 cm and 85-90% . At 10:25 told I could push and after 3 pushes. My rainbow arrived. Instant love! If you held out reading this;) here is pic of big bro with sissy!
