Woke up this morning at 5:30 to a popping feeling. Got up to use the bathroom and didn't immediately see anything, but after standing there was a small gush. Sat back down and water was clearly leaking into toilet. Went to go tell DH that my water broke and had another large gush. Currently in L&D contracting about every 5 minutes. 2-3 cm dilated. Baby girl decided I'm not getting two September babies afterall!
Hoping I'll be able to update this thread as I go along, but we will see!
@camichael84 so exciting! (Well not as exciting as your water breaking story from the first time lol but that one's hard to beat) We'll all be thinking of you, and def keep us updated if you can!!
@camichael84 - YEAH MAMA!!!! Also, extra points for attempting to Live Bump the birth. So excited for you guys (and for the girls to get a little distance between their big days!)
Epidural went in just before 10. They didn't let DH stay in with me this time, but the nurse was great support through it. Contractions were 2-3 minutes apart before I got fluids for the epi, but tapered down to every 3-4 after. 4-5 cm dilated. Currently waiting on my popcicles to get here!
@camichael84 - I was JUST about to call you out for a lack of updates.. you're the bomb dot com. Glad you got your epi.. Nurses.. POPSICLES... STAT! So excited for you guys!
Didn't expect to be able to update again so soon! Started some pitocin to help get contractions closer together. On lowest setting right now. OB wanted to start it because of Layla's size. I'm still not sure I understand the logic, but I rolled with it. Had two delicious popcicles, and now going to try to get some rest!
This is what I get for logging in later than usual!!! Yay, Baby Layla - can't wait to meet you!! I'm so excited for your family and am LOVING the updates! I'll be thinking of you and hoping for a continued smooth, fast delivery!
