Well, my water broke tonight and I'm all checked in to have this baby! Only 2 cm dilated. Didn't imagine that LO would be arriving at 36wk1day.
***update dilated almost to 3cm. Nurses just want to wait it out for now and see what happens. Had a little fiasco couple hours ago, baby couldn't handle a contraction and his heart rate plummeted. Little nerve wracking having 3 nurses and doctors rush in. Baby seems to be good now.
Final update.
Epidurals are God sent!!!! After being on pitocin for 2 hours and being checked, my contractions were unbearable. Epidural was simple and made preparation for delivery so much easier. I was able to nap for an hour and when I woke up, the nurse checked me and I was fully dilated and ready to go.
After 20 minutes of pushes, Henry "Hank" Lucas made his appearance at 3:44pm at 6lb 11oz and 20 in long. Both of us are recovering well.
Thank you ladies for all of the encouragements today!!! Really appreciated them and I wish all speedy and safe deliveries for everyone.
