the contractions have picked up a lot. They have pitocin going since my water broke before I was having any real contractions. Things are looking good with (baby), they're guessing 8 lbs!
6 cm, lots of pressure. This hurts! I got an epidural for the intense contractions, they were shooting all the way up to 100 on the chart. Still feeling the vaginal pressure.Took small naps but the pain wakes me up. I'm thinking this afternoon I'll b pushing. Been in labor since 5pm, unless u count the first spurt of water breaking at 2pm. This is a long process!
@BlondePeanut I am SO IMPRESSED you are able to text rn. When I was 6cm I couldn't even talk except to tell ppl not to touch me or ask for ice. Keep going, lady! You are doing great!
Latest message from blondepeanut said she is now 90% effaced but stuck at 6 cm. She said they are talking possible c/s and she will find out if they plan on that route in about half an hour from now.
Sending her the best well wishes that things get moving and she can avoid the c/s.
My water broke around 2pm on Fri 2/17. It started as small bursts. I had my bloody show at 8pm the eve before. I was admitted to the hospital at 5pm on 2/17 and my water decided to full on burst all over the Dr. My contractions were not getting close enough together, so I was started on pitocin drip. I dilated from 1cm to 3cm, then they increased my dose from 4 to a 6. I dilated to 6cm so they upped me Again to an 8, I progressed to 90% but not past 6cm and this was 18 hrs in So they upped me to ten on the pitocin. 2 hours later they checked me, no further progress and baby was discovered to be wedged and caught in my pelvis with swelling beginning On her head. She was also beginnng to bend her neck at a bad angle. My Dr said a c section was needed at that point. I was prepped and in surgery in about 40 mins. I had bad shakes from the meds and some serious pressure when they were removing her. Once I heard her cry, I cried and then she was checked and brought over to my husband and I. she just stared at us and it was the most amazing thing ever. She looked great, so we did skin to skin and she also nursed very well 3 times over the course of 8 hours. I'm so much in love!! I'm very sore But so far so good medically

She will be getting a c/s. The baby won't fit through, and baby's head is starting to swell. Blondepeanut said they'll be taking her to do it soon.
