Water broke at 35w1d

Ever since 34w6 days I had been having inconsistent contractions. At 35 weeks exactly I lost my mucus plug that had a good bit of fresh blood in it. The next day I was having cramps, I thought I just had to poop 😂 and while pushing on the toilet my water broke. That was 3:00 pm. We arrive at the hospital At 4. When I get there I'm 3cm. They check me short after I'm at 4. They check me again I'm at 5. Since things weren't going super fast they decided to start pitocin and give me my epidural. I wasn't in a lot of pain but I didn't want to be in too much pain before I got it. An hour after they started pitocin they checked me and I was still at a 5. Another hour goes by and I'm in between a 7&8. The nurse told me it would most likely be another hour because I would get to a 10 but 10 minutes after she left the room I had to call her back in because I could feel the baby coming. Let me just say it was the worst pain I have ever felt. They didn't give me enough epidural so my lady part weren't numb like they should have been and it hurt like hell to push. I pushed for a total of 7 times and she was out. Took 10 mins, the relief you feel when the baby comes out is like no other. I had a 1st degree tear so they gave me a shot down there to numb me and stitched me up. Since she was a premie the first 5 minutes they monitored her before giving her to me then we got to do an hour of skin to skin. She is perfectly healthy, no problems at all. Weighing 5 pounds 7 ounces. I'm so over joyed. After the hour they noticed I was still bleeding heavily, and clotting really bad. They gave me a shot and more pitocin to make my uterus contract to make me quit bleeding. My nurse told me that was the fastest she has seen someone progress and push out a baby. 😅
