VBAC

Had a VBAC Saturday kind of long

Wednesday when I went to the dr. I was dilated to a 4, so I was thinking the baby was going to come Sunday.  Saturday I didn't have hardly any contractions during the day.  Lost my mucus plug about 3:30 went to lay down.  Contractions started right at 4:00 and they were 5 minutes apart until 4:30. At 4:45 they really started coming.  Called my doctor and by the time they called me back the contractions were less than 3 minutes apart.  Left the house at 5:20 (after my Mom showed up). Got to the hospital around 6:00.  A nurse checked me in a small check-in room and I was already at a 10. 

They rushed me in a delivery room, hooked up the IV and told me to push.  I was having trouble pushing, and they said her heart was dropping and we might need a c-section.  I was not going to give up wiuth out a fight.  They ended up using a vacuum (which was very painful btw) and I pushed with all I had for only 5 minutes. I have a second degree tear.  I am happy I got to do the VBAC and I am shocked I did it all with no pain meds, which was not my plan, but when you show up at the hospital at a 10 you don't have much of a choice.  I cannot believe how fast it went.  Thanks for taking the time to read this.
