i was 39weeks and 3 days, it felt like another night except a bit more pressure in my pubis. Around 11ish at night, was getting ready for bed, and my water broke (thank heavens i was wearing an adult diaper so i did not make a mess)!! we were waiting for it but when you are at that point, you dont know what to do exactly. My husband told me to calm down but in reality he was the one in panic as i managed to take a quick shower but fluid continued to leak. Hospital was about 30+ minutes drive with 45-55 speed limit. We had time. On my way to hospital, i was actually smiling as i was texting my family that this is the day!! Otw i started to feel light contractions with ~5-8 mins apart. I was even able to walk from the parking lot to the hosp entrance but obviously i was starting to look terrified. I was offered a wheelchair but decided to walk to speed things up. Ok, to make the story short, i was admitted & offered the pitocin cos i was only 2cm and it took at least 5 hours to progress to 3 and at least 15 hours after being admitted i was stuck at 9cm. It hurt to be checked cos my cervix was way too posterior according to the nurse and doc. So epidural was given to me early before pitocin was pumped up. It was not till the night that i suffered from so much pain cos it felt like the epidural weaned off. I dont think i ever reached 10cm but i tried to push to the best of my ability. At some point i said i wanted to give up cos i was miserable from pain. My husband was scared that a blood vessel in my head would pop as i tried really hard but nothing was working. After at least 18hrs of labor, the doc decided i go for c section (i secretly was happy about it cos i was done with pushing). Not even 15 mins, my baby was born... 7 lbs and i did not know how he fit in my tiny body. He was born 11/11/17 which is an awesome date :). Thank God he’s healthy and he’s the most beautiful baby i have ever seen (well he is mine lol). And at the moment, i have not slept in days taking care of a newborn and it is called motherhood, a priceless job and is is something i’d do again when God blesses me with another baby ☺️
