Giving birth at week 37+3

Kaltrina

It was the morning of November 25th. When I woke up I had some light contractions but didn't mind cause I had them in a week. That day I went for shopping with my husband, intvited guests at home made dinner and after that I had a hot bath. After the shower as I was getting my towel I saw some kind of water with white discharge on it, it was just a little bit. When I got in my room wanted to stand up more water came out of me. It was my first birth I didn't know what to do. It was around 10:20 PM, and I called my sister in law and told her everything. She said head to the hospital cause your water just broke. At 10:35 PM I was at the hospital, with just broken water and light contractions. When the doctor checked on me I was 2 cm dilated. At 1 AM of November 26th strong contractions started. They send me in the delivery room. I had very strong contractions, every 1 or 2 minutes. I've triend medication, infusions, hot baths and nothing happened the contractions only getting stronger then the midwife came and asked about the epidural. In the begining I was a little bit scared, but my husband said to get it and I did. At 10:30 AM I got the epidural. The pain was going away but I started vomitting and lost all my strength. It was around 3 or 4 PM and a nusre came and gave me an antibiotic, because baby was in danger to get infection because she was without water for 18 hours. Around 6 PM I was 7 cm dilated. With no strength and vomitting whole time I thought I can't do it. When the midwife came at 8 PM to check on me I was 9 cm dilated, after 15 min she came again and I was 10 cm dilated and she said the time has come. AT 8:20 PM I started pushing and at 8:40 PM of November 26th my daughter was born. That was the day when I found the true meaning of life and I'm thankful to God that gave me a healthy daughter❤
