Nearly 4 days after my membrane sweep I started getting really bad contractions late at night. I had thought my water broke so I called the doc and they said to go into the hospital. So I went in and come to find out my water didn’t break. So they sent me home at 3 1/2 cm dilated. Not even 25 minutes of me being home my water actually broke!! So I called again and they said yes come in. I got to the hospital and was having contractions but not as bad as what was to come. So I got situated in my room and that’s when the worst contractions hit me. They checked my cervix and I was 4 cm dilated. So they said I can get the epidural. Before I got the epidural though I had to go through 1 bag of saline. And that took about an hour. Then It took about 1 hour and 1/2 for the anesthesiologist or at least for them to even call. So I got the epidural and only my left side was numb. I had all feeling in my right side. It took about 30 minutes for that to go away. Mind you I’m having contractions almost every 4 minutes. Then finally both my legs were completely numb and I couldn’t move at all. Btw weirdest feeling ever!! So when that kicked all the way in I fell asleep for 30 minutes. Woke up and they checked my cervix and I was a complete 10 cm. So I get to pushing and 1 whole hour later my son came into this world peeing on the doctor 🤣. Thankfully I didn’t poop, and I only had to get 4-6 stitches. I also watched him come out with a mirror
