After a month of preterm labor and another month of prodromal labor, my second baby girl is going to make her grand entrance! Was dilated to 4 cm for a week and finally today hit active labor around 11:30 pm. Got to the hospital around 2am with contractions way too excruciating to talk through, let alone sit through, and was at 5 cm. Within 1.5 hrs I was easily 6cm with a “bulging” sac. Nurse thinks my water will break on its own soon. Got my epidural already and now only feeling pressure through contractions rather than sharp, limbs pulling apart pain in my back and severe cramping in my groin and crotch! Excited to meet babygirl soon ❤️
