I got one cervix thinning pill at 8pm last night. I progressed from 0 to 70% thinned and from 2-3 within an hour and a half so they decided to not give me the other two. I had irregular contractions all night and started Pitocin at 5am. I got the epidural dilated to 4 before my doctor broke my water at 9am. Then I slept until I was dilated to 10 and was ready to push at 6pm. They turned off my epidural when I started pushing so I pushed for 30 minutes with epidural, and the other hour and a half was with nothing. I ended up ripping on the inside and outside and she had to be vacuumed out because I couldn’t push her hard enough. She was born at 7:05pm today. No NICU or complications. She is the light of my life and I can’t believe I gave birth to her. I cry every time I go back to the moment.
