My hunnys came at 38wks 1day had been checked on Monday 4/21 was 3cm.... irregular contractions all of Tues 4/22 plus alot of walking went to mall and walked around for hours ..that night alot of pressure and irregular contractions. Woke up wed with contractions 10 min apart some were a min behind or a min ahead. I stayed at home from 7 am - 12:30 pm got to labor and delivery and was dilated to 4-5 cm since my contractions weren't stable they had me walk then do another cervix check in an hr , next time they checked I was 5-6cm so they kept me. I requested an epidural around 7-8cm which took the anesthesiologist 30min to come in and try 5 times and ended up not in the right spot or working for me. My pain level at 8cm was 7-8 on a pain scale without meds and I have a very high pain tolerance so figured I would be ok . A hour after that my water broke during a bad contraction, and that's when all hell broke loose! My contractions were so bad I thought I would break the side bar on bed and hour and half later I wanted to push and my Dr was not there! I yelled twice I need to push!! My doctor sat down and I pushed once and her head came out her shoulders and body all in 9 seconds! I didn't care if I was having a contraction if they told me to push all I knew was someone was there to catch my baby. Nurses said one of the fastest deliveries! She was a little bruised but soo worth it! My honeybuns
