My L&D story😊💙

Hey ladies so I did do the Midwives brew😊 (Not recommending it BUT IF try it at your own risk❤️ ask your health provider first ❤️

So we will start at the beginning ! @34 weeks and 6 days I lost my mucus plug and thought for sure labor was on the way after losing my mucus plug I started having contractions which I never do before my water actually break I’ve had two little ones water broke with both of them so my third baby had already started differently! Anyways I went to L&D my contractions where 6min apart and it was confirmed I was having contractions ..but was sent home because I wasn’t dilated enough ! And was told that I had a irritable cervix and it was causing contractions .!so I was bummed but happy because I get to keep baby in ! However every day I woke up was a living hell with baby ! I was so tired of feeling so bad ! I couldn’t enjoy my family nothing because I just felt absolutely terrible ! So 35 weeks pass I go to the hospital again for contractions yet again I was sent home ! Because of no progression I was frustrated because I was in pain every day and seem like NO ONE WANTED TO HELP ME not even my OB . @ 36 weeks I finally seen my ob due to all this pain I asked what was our next step because I honestly couldn’t take it anymore ! I was over it ! He said it’s just pregnancy and struggled his shoulders and worse enough he said I was even dilated ! I’d walked and everything NOTHING was helping me so @37 weeks I said lord I’m going to do the midwives brew and see what happens some people said it worked some people said it didn’t I figured well it’s not guaranteed that I’ll go in labor 🤷🏽‍♀️

The recipe I used 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

So ..I made the drink and that day I finished it at 9:04 that night (ITS NASTY AND I ALMOST DIDNT KEEP IT DOWN) but I did ..at 10 I started having contractions ..I was like umm I’ve been here with the contraction situation nothing serious ! 11 came I realized that my contractions where getting worse and coming consistently ..._i said oh wow ..and at this point I was tired and wanted to go to sleep but the pain kept getting worse and worse so I got in the tub by 12 y’all I kid you not I was in sooo much pain from those contractions I told my husband I need to go to L&D NOW! He had to stay with the kids so o drove and I stopped every time I had a contraction they were hurting soo bad ! I finally got to the hospital and got checked in and stuff and the doctor wanted my to pee on the cup to see if my contractions where real and at this point I was in tears I’m not going to lie I was completely in tears ! I arrived at the hospital at 1 :30 ish by the way they wanted to monitor me for an hour before determining what they wanted to do I got checked I was at a 1 I said like OHH NO WHAT HAVE I DONE! I’m in pain with no progression I was thinking ! So the nurse walked out and 20 min past the pain was getting worse I couldn’t help but cry and feel completely stupid for drinking this dumb ass drink ! I called the nurse I begged for something for my contraction they where back to back and shockingly enough she said I’m already on the phone with the nurse I’m going to come in and check you at it was on 2:00 and I was already at 4cm she said we are going to admit you ! Because baby is coming !! They drew my blood at 3:30 I got my epidural at 4:00 I was 9cm dilated btw my husband wasn’t there at the moment ! @5:00 My husband finally arrived was doctor checked me and I was a 10 it was time for baby !! @5:11
