Checked into labor and delivery and getting penicillin (gbs+) this baby is coming soon! I'm hoping I can make it through without an epidural again, but I'm worried it's going to be harder than with my last one. Fingers crossed the next several hours go well!
I started having contractions about 5 min apart that afternoon. Got checked in to the hospital arpund 5pm at 3cm to get my penicillin. Labored for 5 hours and was at a 4, so opted for an epidural. But by the time they finally gave me the epi (contractions were very strong and close together) I only had about 10 contractions before my water broke, I threw up, and the contractions started pushing baby out on their own. She came out after 5 contractions and only one push. The epidural never worked all the way, but took some edge off for the final delivery at least.
It looks like this recovery might be a little tougher for me, but we are so happy to have our little girl here!
Hurray for not being pregnant anymore! Congrats she is beautiful and you look fabulous (I was a hot, sweaty mess after delivery and of course that's when my hubby decided to start snapping pictures!)
