Morning ladies!!
So I'm not a reg, but I'm not really only a lurker. I hope you don't mind me sharing:
Short story: I'm 39 + 6 and I'm in labor at the hospital. VBAC attempt. 7cm last check. Hopefully we'll have a baby in the next few hours
Long story: I went in yesterday for one last membrane sweep before my scheduled induction on Friday. I am attempting to VBAC. I had the sweep at 3pm and had irregular contractions all evening. They died down around 10pm so I went to bed. At 2:45 I woke up in pain. I started timing the contractions and struggling through them for about 2 hours. I took a shower and walked around and they started getting pretty painful and closer together (3-5 min apart) so we headed to the hospital. I was 5-6 cm dilated when admitted and then 7cm about an hour and a half later. That's when I got an epi. They broke my water and now we are just waiting to fully dilate and push this little one out. I'm really hoping to avoid a RCS. With my first, she went into distress which lead to the cs. I'm not on pit yet though, so hopefully this little one will be about to handle the contractions and pushing.
If you're still reading, Thanks for sticking with me. I'm feeling a little loopy and shaky from the meds, so I'm sorry about and grammar and spelling mistakes. I'll try to post an update later.
Update*** 8cm dilated. Still no pit. The nurse thinks I'll be pushing in the next hr. Thanks for the prayers and encouragement!
Dilated to 10, waiting in the dr to push.
