Baby Rohan was born on September 15 at 7:36 am. He weighed 8lbs11oz and measured 19.75 inches.
Since Saturday I've cramps and started losing my MP in pieces around the same time. I had cramps that kept my awake from 1am to 4am on Wednesday morning. When I woke up I had what I think was my bloody show. I also had the labour inducing gelato that afternoon.
I started having regular contractions at 10:30 pm on the 14. They went from 10 min apart to about 4 min. I also had blood when I wiped. They were not very strong though. I called my MW at midnight to see how she wanted to handle it since I was GBS+. She told me to wait since they were not that strong and I could easily talk trough them. Contractions tapered off so I went back to bed to rest a bit.
Contractions picked up again pretty quickly starting 12 min apart but being more painful and going to 7 min apart. My water broke during a contraction at 3:30am. We got to the hospital at 4:30am and got the antibiotics. My MW checked me and I was at 4cm and about 75% effaced. Things picked up quickly after that. The intensity and the frequency of contractions became hard to handle. I laboured a bit in the tub then felt like a had to push. Started pushing for real at about 6:45am. He was born 45 min later. My MW made me control my pushes when he was coming out and that was very painful but for the best because I only have a paper cut like mini tear. I also had the med free birth I wanted to first time around.
We were able to leave the hospital at 10:30am. MW came last night at home and is coming back on Saturday and Monday to check on everyone (that's what they do here, so nothing special).
