So I had a baby! DS was born 4/30 at 4:39am. 7 lbs, 9 oz, 20 inches.
Labor was awful. I went in planning another med free birth, which I got, but in the end it was not by choice.
Labor was a lot harder this time. I started contractions around 8pm, and by 9pm they were 3.5 minutes apart. I never got a break, they only got closer together, and I had back labor again the whole time. He was sunny side. After my water was accidentally broken contractions were unbearable. I asked for an epi, but it was 3am (the anastesiolist had to be called in and did not make it in time) and I had him at 4:30 am so I never got it. He was having heart decels at the end which resulted in me getting an episiotomy to get him out fast. I aldo tore pretty badly on top of that. Recovery from that has been the hardest. But I do feel good other than the lady parts.
DS is doing great. He is nursing well. DD has so far been interested but not upset. Her cousins are staying with us till Thursday and have kept her distracted. We will see how it goes when they leave.
