I started having contractions around 10:30pm(11/14) and my water broke the next morning around 6:30 am. Got to the hospital around 7:30 am. Contractions were 2-3 mins apart. I was 1cm and 80% effaced. I dilated about a centimeter every 2 hours or so. I had an epidural around 12 pm. It made my blood pressure drop to 59/24. That happened 3 times all together. Got pitocin. By 8pm I was ready to push. I pushed 2-3 hours and delivered a healthy baby girl via vbac at 11:32 with the help of a vacuum. I had 2nd degree tears and multiple stitches. I'm very sore and tired. Maybe I can sleep soon!
