AW Birth Story PsIP

Griffs watching DH play COD and Bs napping so I think I have time to share my birth story!

10:30pm sunday night I was in bed watching Friends, about to fall asleep when I felt and heard a pop in my belly.  I was kinda like whatever lol.  Then a few minutes later I started trickling something down there.  I went to the bathroom and it was obvious what it was when I wiped (water breaking).  I called the nurses line just to see what they'd say and sure enough they told me to go to the hospital.

At the hospital I wasn't dilated at all but the machine was picking up my contractions, even though I wasn't feeling any of them.  They sent me home (again, I'm not sure why) and told me to come back at 6am.  On the drive home I started to feel the contractions =S

We went back to the hospital at 5:30am cause I couldn't take the pain and I was at 4-5cm dilated.  They were going by my original due date of Aug 30 which mae me 36 weeks and some odd days so because I was early they admitted me to the high risk area.  I got my epidural soon after that.

A few hours later when they checked me I was still only 4-5cm.  There was talk about probably needed a c-section (which freaked me the eff out) cause I wasn't progressing and every time I had a contraction, Bs HR would drop.  Oh and cause B was sunny side up.  They waited it out and a few hours later I was a 7cm.  After maybe an hour they checked again and still only at 7cm so they decided to give me pitocin.  After more waiting I was fully dilated =)

I only pushed for a half hour.  B was a bit stuck behind my pelvis so they used the vacuum and out he came at 11:55am on Monday, August 6.  I could've done it without the vacuum but it would've taken another hour, according to the nurse.

I'm healing so much faster than last time, yet I still have a 2nd degree tear like before.  Those afterpains have thankfully stopped and the bleeding is barely there.
