Around midnight the 20th going into the 21st I started having contractions. They were very irregular all night until about 5-5:30am then I had three in a row 2 mins apart. I called my dr and because of how fast my first labor went, they wanted me to come in. I got to the hospital at about 7am having contractions every 2 mins in extreme pain. The checked me and I was 5 cm. I got my epidural and by the time I was checked again I was at 8 cm. At about 10:30 my epidural got twisted and stopped working. They tried to fix it but it just wasn't working and I had to push. I pushed for about 15 mins with the nurses(who were amazing coaches through it!) and the last one I almost pushed her out before the dr was there and I was instructed by the nurse to hold it in until the dr got there. Two mins later dr was there and I pushed her out in two ten counts. Technically med free pushing so that was exciting! I had a minor tear and needed a few stitches. My cord broke off from the placenta so dr had to stick her whole arm up me to pull it out(after stitches) which was the most painful thing of all. She had to go back in again due to my history of having left over in my uterus last time. She did inhale stuff on her way out and was breathing a little weird so she got taken away for about 2 hours. I did get to hold her as soon as she came out while she was still attached.
All in all it was a great quick and easy labor.
