I was supposed to be induced on a Monday, a few days before my due date because I was not dilated at all but having contractions here and there. On Friday night (day after my appointment) after me and my partner had some “fun time” I started bleeding. A LOT. And I also started having some horrible pain in my back so I went to the hospital, and they told me it was just my bloody show and I was 2cm. I didn’t progress so they sent me home. I slept and when I woke up my contractions were closer together so I waited a few hours and went back. Still only 2cm. After a few hours I dilated to 4cm. Decided to stay and be admitted. Didn’t progress so she broke my water. After a while went to 6. Baby was stressed so they gave me a shot to slow contractions and give him a break and put me on oxygen. Hours passed and finally progressed to a 9, almost 10. My body felt like it was forcing me to push but the nurses told me not to since I had a little cervix left. Eventually I couldn’t stop myself and started slightly pushing. They looked and he was crowning and dr came in, put me in stirrups and what felt to me like 5 pushes he was out. Pushed 2 times and placenta came out. Had him at 3:20am Sunday morning, Jan 26th. No epidural. 8lbs 7oz, 20 1/2 inches! I ended up having second degree tearing slightly in my perineum, but had multiple second degree tears on my labia and clitoris. Those stitches sucked.
