Hey all! So here's the scoop on my whirlwind morning!
I JUST had a dr appt yesterday but she didnt do a cervix check as nothing was really indicating impending labour. Felt fine all evening, did all my normal routine stuff.
Woke up at 3am feeling a little uncomfortable, and it didn't take long to discover the mild contractions were rather timeable. My mom showed up at about 4am to be there for DS, and we got to the hospital at 5. About 10 minutes after they got me a bed my water broke, and I had my first cervix check and was dialated to 6cm! So they pretty instantly took me from that room to delivery since DS's labour progressed very fast too.
This time, the anaesthegist (omg I can never spell it and autocorrect can't help my butchering of it) made it in the room, I got sat up and was singing his praises, he had me all swabbed down and the needle hovering over my back waiting for a contraction to pass.... And that contraction I knew pushing was imminent. They checked me, thanked him for coming in but told him I'm pushing now. So like DS, I progressed too fast and was once again going med free.
And by 6:56, not even 4 hours from when I woke up, team green became Louisa June. (June after my grandma's middle name, the same grandma and grandpa's anniversary month, and the excitement and pure joy I had in having a term baby).
She is latching on like a champ, and BFing often. She is going to get to meet big brother in about half an hour. She is amazing, I love her so much, and I love all the time we already get to spend with her. I've has her on my chest about 90% of her outside life!
And her hair! Oh her hair! I've already had one random nurse say she wants to get called in after we bath her so she can see it all done up lol!
