***Re-posting from TB so that I don't lose it once they delete my content***
I've seen these around TB before, and since we're all a little gif happy lately I thought I'd add to the entertainment. You're welcome in advance
It all started on Tuesday night...
My back was killing me
And it only went downhill from there...
Around 3am the pain was enough that I couldn't sleep so I tried a shower and walked laps around the house. DH asked me what the hell I was doing. When I said I thought I might be in labor, he laughed, fucker.
By 10am on Wednesday I knew for sure it was labor. But I held off on going to the hospital until the contractions were 5 minutes apart, which wasn't until around 3
The whole thing about 2nd labors being faster? Not true for me. With DD1 it was only 6 hours...
And then I got to the hospital and they sent me home because I was only 3 cm dilated
That's fine. DH and I just went to the mall and walked around hoping that would help
And at 10pm we were back at the hospital. Well, I'd only progressed a cm so they made me walk the halls for 3 hours.
And then they sent me home. AGAIN.
After trying to “sleep” hahahahahahaha between contractions I finally told DH that if he didn't get me to the hospital in the next 15 minutes I would murder him in his sleep.
We get back to the hospital at 3:30am and I don't know if I can do this med-free thing anymore
I'm seriously considering giving in
But it was too late anyway lol
It only took 45 minutes of pushing and she was out
And then there was sweet relief
The rest you know. Virginia Sophia was born at 5:47am after about 36 hours of labor!
