My water broke at work today in a huge gush. I'm 34 weeks. I can't believe we will have a baby tomorrow! I'm trying to stay calm but parts of me are definitely nervous. Our nurses have been great so far. Keeping my fingers crossed that I start to progress on my own.
*update at 8:15am*
Doing ok. I made it to 4cm on pit before it just got to be too much. Had an epidural at 4am along with some air in my bollus that caused my blood pressure to drop along with getting a horrible cough. Better now that I finally got 45 minutes of sleep. Today's the day!
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I'm definitely feeling the support. I always thought I would have my former-ob nurse mom here to help coach but she's in Hawaii. DH is doing great on his own.
**update 1/10**
He's here! We are no longer team green. Wesley arrived at 1:45 yesterday. He's 18" and 5lbs 11oz. He needs help breathing since he's so early but he's doing well in the nicu. We are expecting him to be here for a few weeks.
Labor went ok. My epidural started to wear off so I got a little booster. It ran out before I started pushing so it was good to be able to feel when I needed to push. I pushed for two hours and ended up needing an episiotomy. He would get so close but anytime I would break after a contraction I'd lose progress.
I have a little swelling and a small bit of pain but I'm doing ok. I'm hoping he's made enough progress today that we can hold him.
