ITS BABY DAY!!
Good morning from L&D!
I woke up at about 4:15 with a terrible horrible continuous pain. It felt like a really long contraction that never went away. Called the doctor and she said that I should go in to get checked out. I'm contracting every 7ish minutes, dilated to 3.5cm, and I have a bad bladder infection. They're going to give me an antibiotic shot and monitor me for the next hour. If nothing changes they will send me home. Send all the good labor juju!!
9am - Update: drugs are great. Bladder infections hurt like a bitch and the pain from the contractions was making everything unbearable. They gave me pain meds and are still monitoring me for a while. If there's no progression in the next hour they're sending me home.
10am - I'm at 5cm! They're admitting me! Holy crap, its baby day!!
11:10am - epidural is going to be placed in a half hour. Oh boy!
12 pm - epidural placed, it went as smoothly as possible.
12:20pm- doctor broke my water. Hopefully this makes things move along quicker!
3:30pm-still at 5cm. Started pitocin.
