At 4am I had mild contractions but strong enough to where they would wake me up. I got out of bed and had all this energy to clean the bedroom. I washed our sheets, took a shower, made sure all our stuff was packed for the hospital. While I was in the shower I had a really intense contraction I had to breathe through. At 9am I called my doctor explaining that I started having contractions but they weren't timetable ( I didn't have time able contractions w DS either). My doc asked me to come to the office to check how dialated I was.
I walked the dogs up the hill by our house just to keep things progressing. I really wanted my contractions to kick in. Ran into my neighbor mike who asked how I was doing and I told him pretty good, having contractions and I think today is the day. He looked at me with a weird face like why are you walking your dogs up this massive hill right now?
Dh and I arrived at the doctors office at 1130 he check me and I was 5cm still with irregular non timetable contractions that weren't that intense.He suggested I be admitted to labor and delivery and that he break my water and guessed considering how fast my labor was w DS that I could deliver in 2 hours. He hoped so because it was his wife's birthday and he has a special dinner planned for her. I thought, ok pressure is on!
Walked over to the hospital next door from the doctors office and started having more intense contractions all the while breathing through them. Checked in to labor and delivery at 1230. They gave me a room and I asked to be by myself w DH and labor more before the epidural. The contractions then ramped up and DH helped me breathe through the pain as I paced around the room for the next hour. Received the epidural at 2pm w a cervical check I was 6cm he then broke my water.
The next part was surreal. I just laid in the bed while the Epi kicked in and chatted w the nurses and DH. They asked me to tell them when I felt the urge to strongly push. At 4pm I felt the urge to push. My doctor arrived and did a last check and I was plus 2 of 10cm so I guess that means 12cm and he laughed and said this baby might just fall out you will maybe have to push twice. I pushed 3 times and she came out screaming. The cord was wrapped around her neck but loosely so the doctor was able to unwrap it right away.
Right after the birth they had us do skin to skin and she screamed the entire time. This little one does not like being naked at all. As soon as she was wrapped up and bundled she calmed down and it's been a joy ever since holding and cuddling her. We could not be happier.
