Woke up at 2:30am on 9/14 with crazy contractions 5-7 minutes apart. After 1.5 hours they started getting far apart like 10-15 minutes apart. I thought nothing of it cause I wasn't due till 9/17 and I was experiencing prodormal labor for about a week and a half now. I lay down a half an hour later to try and sleep between the contractions thinking my two year old will be up in a few hours and I need sleep. The contractions start coming between 10-30 minutes apart so I slept on and Off till 8:30am. Called docs office and they said go to hospital. While eating a sandwich before leaving I feel something come out of me so I go to bathroom and check and it's bright red blood. I get to hospital told its from cervix dilating and effacing but I'm only 2cm and 50% effaced and it's false labor so go home. I go to my regular OB/GYN appt that same day and I'm told I'm 3cm and 70% effaced so go back to the hospital. He gives me some stuff that's basically instructions for the L&D department. Once admitted they tell me ill probably be put on pitocin and I'm begging for an epidural since I've been in labor since 2:30 am and it's 7:00pm but they tell me no cause I'm not 4cm and my contractions are not regular enough. Eventually after several hours I'm given the epidural then two hours later pitocin. Unfortunately the pitocin doesn't work till they raise it 3-4 times and finally around 9am and after 31 hours of labor im ready to push and three pushes later here is Sylas 👼🏽💕❤️
