I work up at 4:30 am with contractions 5 min apart just to find out I was only a half a cenemrter dilated. I was in the worse pain. I decided to go home from the hospital but couldn’t make it out the door because of my pain. So then I got wheel chaired up and was given morphene. It helped soooo much but I still had contractions that were pure pain. Once the morphene wore off I couldn’t take it but luckily it relaxed me enough to get me to 3 centemeters so I was allowed to get an epidural (which I originally didn’t want) i felt 0 contractions. I got to 6 cenemeters and the popped my water. Then a few hours later I was at 10 cenmeters and they wanted me to practice pushing. To everyone’s suprise I was really good at it and had my son in 23 min and felt no pain. I had minimal tearing. It’s crazy to think how when I came in I wouldn’t dialte and didn’t want medicine to later that day taking the medicine that allowed me to relax and dialte and have me son.
