My waters broke this morning and I have been in L&D for a few hours now. I am just getting going with the contractions, but all is good with me and baby. I would be 39 weeks tomorrow. I'll post an update with baby pictures once she's on the outside.
Update: It is 2 am and I have been in labor since 9:45 am yesterday. I decided to get an epidural at 1:30 am today after having 3 consecutive contractions register above 90 on the toco, and I have been stalled at 5cm since noon yesterday. DH has been a huge source of support, lots of love to him. This epidural is amazing. Also add a pair of ear plugs to your hospital bag.
Update: I push for the maximum permitted time and nothing progressed for 24 hours...so I had a c-section and her little head was stuck (I mean like a suction cup) in my pelvis, but never showed on the monitors. Here is my brand new outside baby, Lilli Aurora, named for generations 1 and 2 of our now 5 generation of women. Doing this mobile, so it may take a try or 2.
