In labor at 37 weeks

Alisa • Expecting my little sunshine.

I woke up yesterday morning (08/19) with the bloody show... I didn't pay it no mind and continued with my day.. I went walking for almost 2 miles at around 4-5... within hours I was having full blown contractions, I ended up waiting three hours after my contractions started coming every 3 minutes before going to the hospital...

I finally decide to get to the hospital and I'm only dilated 1.5 centimeters but the contractions are coming quicker and harder.. they give me pain medicine and monitored my contractions for two hours.. checked me again and I was dilated to a 3..

They moved me from the observation room into an actual room, I received my epidural, and now I don't feel a thing..

Currently still in labor, last time they checked I was at 4, which was at 3 this morning... and now I'm just playing a waiting game on finishing dilating.. can't wait to see my little girl though!

**update**

They started me on pitocin at about 7:30 and have upped the dosage two or three times now, I lost track cause I fell asleep.. contractions seem to be coming every minute now and are apparently really strong, according to the monitor... I don't know cause I can't feel a damn thing 😂😂😂🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻

**update#2**

It's 11:01, I'm dilated to a 5, the pitocin really didn't help much, water still hasn't broke.. they said my doctor would probably break it if it didn't break on its own.. hopefully having this baby within the next few hours, I'm damn starving!!

**update#3**

1:34 and my water is finally broken, I'm dilated to an 8... I'm so excited that I've only got two more to go!!! Can't wait!
