June 7th birth story

6/5/2019- went to normal weekly 39 week check-up. My midwife ordered an ultrasound and an NST for the next day. She checked my cervix i was at 2cm 70-80% effaced.

6/6/2019- me and hubby went to ultrasound for baby and got sent up to labor and delivery to get the NST done. Im hooked up to the monitors baby wasnt moving how they liked. So i was given a big cup of orange juice. Baby moved a little bit more. The nurse came in asking if i was having contractions? If i felt them? I told her i just had cramps. Which i had been having off and on just brushing them off as Braxton hicks. I was given water to drink. Once i finished drinking it i started to feel nauseous. I threw up. They asked if i wanted my cervix to be checked again. Hubby said no, he was ready to leave he was tired.so we left the hospital and went to Albertsons to pick up some medicine. We live 30 mins away from the hospital.

8:00pm -Once i got home i started making me something to eat and setting up a movie to watch. When i felt the urge to pee. So i sat on the toilet i felt like i needed to fart so i let out what i thought was a fart but something actually shot out of my vagina. I looked in the water it was very cloudy so i thought it was my mucus plug. I let everyone know it would be soon. I walked in front of the tv talking to hubby about to press play when it felt like i was peeing on myself. I told hubby and ran to the bathroom. I felt a gush of fluid. I let everyone know it was go time. I called labor and delivery and they told me to go in. We ran around the house trying to get together last minute items.we finally left. When we get there i check in at the emergency room and wait for what felt like ages for someone to come get us with a wheelchair. We get into a room and i get checked i was at a 3. I bounce on the ball and pace the room.

6/7/2019-

1:00am- im at a 5 and in excruciating pain. So i give in and get the epidural. I start feeling better instantly. I went from im never doing this again to of i do this again im going to get this right away. I fall asleep.

5:00am- i get checked again im at an 8. Im told an hour or so i should be ready. I fall asleep.

6:00 am- i wake up to pain again thinking the epidural fell out or something i call the nurse she checks me im at a 10. She says its time. They go call my midwife. She arrives and i start pushing i felt like i was getting no where but i was actually making progress. My babys head begins to crown and they tell me to feel it. I continue to push and his head is coming out. My midwife tells me to stop pushing so i dont tear. I got to pull him the rest of the way out. I started ugly crying instantly.
